Back From My Blogging Sabatical

I looked at my last post and was surprised to see that April 21 was the last time that I blogged. I have no good excuse, though I have been busy. I apologize to the 2 or 3 readers that I have, if you will even read my blog anymore.

I have, since last blog, came to some important conclusions.

1) My new heroes in the culture war are Vox Day and Neal Boortz.
2) The Republican Party is definitely as much if not more of a big government party that the democrats, and are therefore unworthy of my vote. As a matter of fact, they are one in the same party.
3) Party affiliation in general stifles individual thought, as each party has a platform that each member is expected to abide by.

Why are Vox Day and Neal Boortz my new heroes in the culture war? First of all, neither is a lockstep party affiliate that only regurgitates the platform of their party. Secondly, both are independent and creative thinkers who are not afraid of the political and social realities of stating the truth, no matter how painful it may be, even to themselves. Thirdly, both handle their critics with well-thought responses, using facts to support their conclusions while dispelling the opponents assertions. And finally, both the right and left political factions have them in their sites for some reason or other.

I have been particularly interested of late in the discussion that Vox has had on his blog, which is linked on this blog site, concerning the increase in sex slavery in western Europe. In a nutshell, here is Vox's assertions:

1) Sex slavery is on the upswing in post Christian western Europe.
2) The rejection of Judeo-Christian values is to blame in the devaluation of the worth of women, and people in general, in post-Christian societies.
3) Humanism, and more particularly, feminism has been at the forefront of this rejection of Judeo-Christian principles.
4) For most of recorded history, slavery has been the norm. All forms of societies have had slavery at one point or other in their history.
5) Only two instances of the outlawing of slavery without outside political influence exists in history: One in 15th-16th century Japan, because of the personal convictions of one man; and in 19th century Christian Great Britain.
6) Great Britain's force within itself for this change was a group of Quakers, who proclaimed that slavery was a scourge upon mankind.
7) Christianity uplifted more women from property status than any other religion, and the social system based upon Christianity has perpetuated the same.
8) Christianity has served as a moral compass for those societies who adopt the principles.
9) Those who reject Christianity either have adopted another set of religious principles from which they base their morality, or are humanist and are moral relativists.
10) The rejection of Christianity in western Europe has led to the adoption of Islam, many of whose new converts are women living in post-Christian Europe.
11) The irony of feminism is that by rejecting Judeo-Christian principles, and more particularly Christianity as a religion, women are suffering much more oppression and have returned to their historical status as property in post-Christian societies.

The feminists in the blogosphere and their pantywaist defenders were really upset over Vox's statement that he found "humor" in western culture having a rise in sex slavery. Reasonable people know that he was referring to irony as humor, but some people aren't reasonable. Especially on the left.

Vox also was labeled a "Nazi" by the whole political spectrum recently when he entered the deportation debate on illegal immigrants. His assertion here was that Nazi Germany transported large numbers of Jewish citizens to concentration camps, and that the inability of the United States to transport illegal migrants to the south side of the border is bunk. But, by citing a successful transportation strategy, albeit from Nazi Germany, he suddenly was a nazi who was suggesting that we massacre illegal migrants. Michael Medved, a proclaimed righty, even dedicated air time to denouncing Vox's column as nazi propaganda.

Neal Boortz is somewhat less patient with his critics, as I assume the medium is radio rather than print or internet blogging. But he correctly took to task the anti-flag burning amendment crowd as political panderers who are looking for easy ways to keep office. Such an amendment also flies in the face of private property rights, of which Boortz is a staunch defender. He also is bold enough to take on K Street and try to muster enough grass roots support to overthrow the current slavemaster, the IRS, and the tax system it employs here in the U.S.

I do not believe that I must go into detail about the Republicrat party. What I find funny is that the left hates George Bush, but, aside from foreign policy and defense, he is a democrat dream-come-true. And so it is with Republican congressmen. Spending is higher than ever on domestic programs. No social security reform. The President then spends more money on a prescription drug benefit for Medicare, who is in worse dire straits than Social Security from a liquidity standpoint. He co-writes an education bill with the Hero of Chappaquidick, Ted Kennedy, who then promptly stabs him in the back by stating that President Bush concocted the war in Iraq from Texas. He then pushes immigration reform that would give amnesty to illegal migrants. In other words, the U.S. would sell citizenship for $2,000, much like Clinton sold the Lincoln Bedroom to his donors. It is almost as if the left were staring in a mirror at themselves and hating the image of themselves. Self-loathing, I've found, is a trademark of left-leaning people.

So, come November, I most likely will go to the booth and cast a blank ballot, unless some independent-minded candidate is on the ballot. Of political parties, the platform of the Constitution Party best matches my views. However, this party nor any of their candidates have made it to the ballot in Georgia.

Sorry about my prolonged vacation from blogging on my own blog. I hope to be back in full force.
