0805 Trinity of Evil
It would seem, at least as of President Bush’s March speech before the New York Economic Club, that classic conservatism is Bush’s curse. The President, along with his neo-conservative and liberal supporters, is “troubled” by isolationism, protectionism and nativism.
It is true that some “isms” are bad, but it is just as true that others are good. In politics however, nearly anything labeled as an “ism” is calculated to support empty propagandizing.
Isolationism has never existed inAmerica’s history. TheUnited Stateshas been an unfailing beacon of generosity and has never neglected international relationships. The truth is that isolationism is a slur against anyone who values national sovereignty above surrender to “global citizenship”.
Certain isolations are both good and necessary for national survival. America’s political struggles do not rest in the system which has been a “light on a hill” for freedom to the world. It rests in the abandonment by her leaders of principles necessary “to assume among the powers of the earth”, as our birthing document recognizes, “the SEPARATE and equal station to which Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them”.
Globalist politics violate every premise of “we the people” independence for “we the world” socialism. They spurn Thomas Jefferson’s advice to seek “peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none.”
Protectionism, the second supposed sin, is right and necessary forAmerica’s economic sovereignty. Protectionism is nothing more than structuring trade policy in such a way as to ensureU.S.self-reliance and prosperity derived from her own resources first.
Resources are bountiful. American ingenuity and intellectual prowess are second to none – resources-crippling environmentalism and federal protection of foreign interests are almost seditious. Some things are worth protecting, even ifWashingtonand the federal courts must be forced to return the power and privilege they have wrested from the people.
Americans also expect protection from economic dictatorship. But through their own government’s actions they are slaves to a private for-profit business, the Federal Reserve, which is neither federal nor a “reserve”. Billions of dollars are harvested from the public while the “Fed” almost single-handedly controls the economy. Instead of revoking its charter, Congress gravels at the feet of the privately rich and powerful, enjoying the fruit thereof while economic tyranny grows.
Within this trinity of values, nativism is the third evil which Americans are now being asked to despise. For those campaigning forU.S.absorption into the south-of-the-border third world, nativism is a dirty word. It is applied to those of us who cherish our own nation above surrender to a foreign insurgency.
The insurgency is being promoted one fragment at a time. In local school districts across the country taxpayers are supporting English as a second language or watching children being immersed in Spanish. All the while funds are diverted from genuinely effective, proudly promoted, English competency training.
The nativism epithet is primarily meant to justify the physical invasion of illegal immigrants who, through individual criminal acts, have become a thriving army within our own borders. Americans are told that justice is impossible or too late. But do numbers trump justice? Does justice change for 1,000 people as opposed to ten million? There is no justice if justice is a chameleon.
And that is the real problem. God expects national integrity as well as individual integrity. He created a once-in-history one-of-a-kind thriving republic. Will He now remove that blessing in the face of Washington’s (and Lansing’s) abdication of their responsibilities? Sometimes it is good and right to isolate, protect and, yes, outside of racism, to go native.
