Not just political prisoners, but actual enemies of not only the state but of the people who they would seek to corrupt with promises of free shit, the continued destruction of the family and moral fiber of this nation, etc. Advocates of things which are great moral evils (abortion, lack of self-defense, communist ideals, etc.).
It was the ww2 generation which really set the train of ruination down the tracks. They were the greatest generation in many ways, and the worst generation in others. Whether they stormed the beaches at Normandy or nearly died at Tarawa, they came back and corporately either ran roughshod over the moral fiber of the country or raised a generation which would engage in a rampant libertine attitude. Bernie Sanders didn't happen in a vacuum.
Again, I say, our great grandparents would not find my list shocking. Neither would the founding fathers.
Let's look at the list again:
1) Would it be a bad thing to encourage productive farming which doesn't see a large amount of it going to a disastrous EPA-led campaign to produce less effective fuel? No
2) Would it be a bad thing to undue to unconstitutional intrusion of the federal .gov into forcing people to buy a product at great expense and which leads to a bloating of prices? No.
3) Would it be a bad thing to guarantee the 2nd Amendment with no ridiculous laws which make a constitutionally guaranteed right in all its substance and ancillary aspects? No.
4) Would it be a bad thing to recognize the reality of human dignity and the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness from conception so as to guarantee a) that we arent murdering our own children and b) that we restore the consequences of decisions? No.
5) Would it be a bad thing to encourage domestic manufacturing and decrease the federal hand into the local pocket of the working man? No.
6) Would it be a bad thing to allow states to return to a curriculum which is sensible and teaches/encourages fundamentals without all the cultural marxist bloating? No.
7) Would it be a bad thing to treat enemies of the future of America at every level (economic, moral, etc.) as what they are, such that we stop seeing dumb crap like Boulder High school students walking out of class because their little feelings and fantasy world got hurt? Such that people LIKE Margaret Sanger would have no room to spread their cancerous crap, Saul Alinsky to be put in jail where he belonged, and all the other commie agitators too? No.
8) Would it be a bad thing to disallow the "schools of communism"(Lenin) to foment their class warfare BS and instead simply serve as a backstop to the potential for worker abuse? No.
9) Would it be a bad thing to stop dangling a tax-free status over the Church in a squelching of the natural reality of the intention of the Church and of the fact that the separation of Church and State as we see today is in fact 180* from the intention of the founding fathers? No.
10) Would it be a bad thing to return as a nation to something which is so glaringly obvious from natural law and which, frankly, the .gov should only have enforcement insofar as ensuring the protection of the oldest social norm in history? No. And I'd go further in stating that the .gov should not be involved in this anyway at any other level. No tax breaks for the married at the expense of the single, etc. The only reason the .gov is involved goes back to the days of segregation and eugenics in this country.
11) Would it be a bad thing to stop the ridiculous displays of homosexual behavior such as we see in these "gay pride" parades, etc.? No. It's impossible to deal with what might occur between two people out of the public eye, but in the public eye that shit should be squashed.
12) Would it be a bad thing to have the federal government do its job in a manner which encourages subsidiarity and yet also the national defense which allows defense at all levels from local to federal? No.
It's an amazing amount of hubris to think that we can ignore thousands of years of human history which proves these basic principles one way or another. Yeah, I agree that not all of our great grandparents' ideas were good. But I'm not talking about their novelties or things like Racism (true racism, not the hurt feelings report of today), I'm talking about the things they inherited which are obviously good. GK Chesterton wrote that, "Tradition is the democracy of the dead." My parents' generation totally shirked tradition and its been a fast ride down this slippery slope since then. Their parents generation (ww2) didn't rip them back from the edge when they saw them start down the road to where we are now. Their grandparents' generation became comfortable with things. We have to stop being comfortable with the destruction of not only our nation, but ourselves.
I purposely left out anything which is found only in Catholicism, lest anyone accuse my list of being based on that. Those things take faith. What I outlined is simply an adherence to principles found in the natural law, something from which no man escapes and all good societies have understood. Even the founding fathers understood and lived by these ideas. Every generation which gave an inch to the diabolical ideas of a vocal few opened a mile on the road to hell for their children.
I say again, the cultural Marxist rot is DEEP. When we recoil at the idea of some faggot wearing little more than glitter prancing down the street being arrested and locked up, some commie agitator being locked up, some mentally ill person deciding they're a woman and anyone saying otherwise, some child being born despite what consequence it may bring to someone who was living only in the moment (rather than the horror we should feel at abortion), etc., we know we are affected by it, even if that initial reaction is momentary and we quickly reason why X thing is in fact wrong and must be stamped out.
But I shouldn't be surprised. At the end of the day, it's hard to tell another person or a group of people they will not destroy society when we have lost the adherence to the reality of truth. Relativism is our principle now, socially. Anything less would require us to actually give a hoot.
