Conservatives, Charles Darwin, and the Will to Fight for Survival

Conservatives, by remaining passive and complacent, have helped to create the liberal monolith that we associate with government, media, and education. 

      To congratulate yourself on putting a Christmas-theme postage stamp on a card is not enough.  To dig deeper into personal “status” comforts or get mesmerized by consumerism is to “look the other way” while heritage values and families slowly disappear.  

     The nineteenth century witnessed the coming of age for both evolutionary and geological change, convincing us that the natural world is being altered so slowly that no one can actually see the change.  The refashioning process works for negative change as well as positive.  Organisms unable to resist change and fight back simply die out.  Socialist evil will continue to be our legacy if good people don’t muster a fighting spirit of self-defense.

     To stand up, speak up, and fight back ineffectually is to tacitly give up, yield the field to the foe, and secretly desire the opposite of what you really might want.

   In his article on “The Need for a Militant Conservative Movement” below,  Michael Filozof argues that conservatives daily face a smorgasbord of evils, but seem to lack the will to fight back.  Christians hunker deeper into their next-life bunker, and Republicans stand by while liberals invade their party: 

      By failing to form a militant conservative movement, defend bourgeois values, and suppress leftist radicalism, the right has created a monster.  The left has already gotten nearly everything it wanted — abortion, pornography, welfare, homosexual marriage, socialized medicine, a submissive and internationalist foreign policy, out-of-control federal spending, and federal interference in virtually every facet of American life.

          We are now a nation $14 trillion in debt, $1.5 trillion in deficit, our currency devalued, our manufacturing base destroyed, our obese citizens awaiting their next government benefit, our moral character sapped.  We are fighting three undeclared wars simultaneously with what are essentially mercenary soldiers because the left opposes conscription.

      Our left-wing president, whose constitutional duty is to execute the laws of Congress, ignores the laws he dislikes — such as the Defense of Marriage Act and the War Powers Act — but the supposedly “conservative” Republican Speaker of the House makes a golf date with him rather than asserting constitutional checks and balances.  (Can anyone imagine radical leftists like Reps. Maxine Waters and Sheila Jackson Lee golfing with President Bush after the invasion of Iraq?)

    The right’s strategy of conceding the national agenda to the left is exceedingly dangerous.  The left’s solutions to any one of a number of issues on the table — deficit spending, cap-and-trade, energy security, Iran’s nuclear program, illegal immigration — could deal a mortal blow to the nation.
