For the record, there is still a very slight chance that this a hoax, but considering the anti-male attitudes in the Western world, it is most likely true.
The Left has employed the most radical of feminists to attack both men and women from all angles. Pornography (for example) once derided by feminists for degrading women, is now billed as a means of empowering and liberating them.
The dismantling of manliness, however, hits from every direction. Fatherhood is seen as an institution that is at best of no value and more often than not inherently dangerous to women and children. We are told that a brain and body shaped from both in utero and puberty baths of testosterone provide no advantage in either regular fighting nor combat. They also assure us that the male brain does not produce any inherent differences in thinking nor for mathematical or spatial labors.
I think that we now have proof that we have hit rock bottom in the cultural dismembering of the male.
The hammer-god is the quintessential example of the male warrior. It's origins goes back to the days before the first migrations of Indo-European (IE) speakers from their homeland north of the Black Sea*. The hammer (or early mace) too has ancient origins (before the sword) among these warrior-raiders who in time would either displace completely, or at least politically dominate, those of of communities in India, northern and western Asia, and virtually all of Europe; in Kurgan-type graves - even from the period before the advent of a full Bronze Age, archaeologists have found maces and short-handled war hammers made of copper. Warrior heroes of that time were not the same as modern heroes - they were known for taking what they would, be it lands, labor, wealth or sources of wealth, glory, and (something that makes us cringe today) women. These practices are recorded in the stories, of Indra, Achilleus (Achilles), Theseus, Cuchulain, Siegfried, and others. Even in remote regions long settled by their descendants (Western Ireland the Scottish Highlands into recent centuries- earlier than that the Romans were perplexed at the practices of the indigenous in Hispana), cattle-raiding was treated at the very least as a necessary rite of passage for young men who continued their version of going a-viking before they could be considered to be full members of the clan. It was not until later ages, especially when writing was done in a large part by Christian monks, that heroes such as Beowulf were memorialized only for their bravery and noble actions.
The slow change of these heroes into god-figures was also orientated towards masculinity. The earliest "sky-father" gods (Dyas Pater - later becoming Zeus and Ju-piter among the Greeks and Romans) were the storm gods. In some IE-founded societies, such as those of the Germans/Scandinavians and Celts/Gauls, the hammer-god was to some extent merged with the storm/sky father god Thor with the former, and Taranis/Tuirean for the Gauls and Irish Celts respectively. The Slavs, Balts, Hittites, and others also had storm god names that clearly indicate a similar early IE origin. They were very much male in character and - for lack of a better word, body.
Thor's place in Marvel comic books was no different; he was as manly a character as they came.
Now, we again are being led to believe that men and women are fully interchangeable as characters or for roles. -And again men and boys cannot have anything or anyone of their own with whom they can identify or whom they can idolize or emulate.
The bizarre mindset that testosterone makes for no appreciable difference has become so entrenched that even a veterinarian who treated our police K9's (and whom I find to be a very manly (and quite intelligent) individual), once scoffed at the common-sense remark that neutered dogs were almost never aggressive enough to be trained to fight and apprehend criminal suspects. The fact that this response came from a professional who also neutered male cattle for a living - so that they would not become bulls, only served to prove to me that Cultural Marxism was gaining ground.
Expect Santa Claus, Paul Bunyan, and others to be next.
*The actual location of the IE homeland is disputed. Some argue for Anatolian or Balkan origins but I have yet to find convincing evidence for any region other than the forests and steppes above the Black Sea region.

"........Marvel Comics announced that their male hero of yore was no longer worthy to hold the mighty hammer Mjölnir.......
"The inscription on Thor’s hammer reads ‘Whosoever holds this hammer, if HE be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor.’ Well it’s time to update that inscription," said Marvel editor Wil Moss in a statement. "The new Thor continues Marvel’s proud tradition of strong female characters like Captain Marvel, Storm, Black Widow and more. And this new Thor isn’t a temporary female substitute – she’s now the one and only Thor, and she is worthy!"
"This is not She-Thor. This is not Lady Thor. This is not Thorita. This is THOR,” said writer Jason Aaron. “This is the THOR of the Marvel Universe. But it’s unlike any Thor we’ve ever seen before."......."
The Hot Gates - 480BC. An event that was to determine what path much of the Western World would follow occurred as the Persian army threatened to overwhelm Greece in 480BC. The West today again faces both external and internal threats to its identity and existence.

Ann Coulter - Hope of Amnesty Reason for Surge of Illegals
Now, if only the rest of the non-Leftists will accept this dose of reality.

Monday at the Heritage Foundation, Conservative author Ann Coulter's spoke with the "The Daily Signal" about the unfolding humanitarian crisis of thousands of unaccompanied minors illegal migrants flowing across the U.S.-Mexico border...........
Coulter blasted "idiot Republicans" for bemoaning their failure to pass immigration reform saying, "Do they understand that people are coming to this country because they think they're going to get amnesty? So only if only we had given amnesty -- it's not even a illogical, its counter logic. It's the opposite of logic. It's madness. No, we want a barbed-wire fence."
Her solution: "We've just got to get rid of this refugee policy. What are we gonna do take the entire world? ........

[Prior to the following quote from the video in the link, Ms.Coulter sums up her arguments by noting that most of those who support treating illegals as refugees also tend to hold that the US is a terrible country and wonders why they would want to allow them to come to such an awful place. She then takes note of the irony that the very same people also insist that the US is the only place for all supposed refugees]
"All countries suck compared to America. Is that the standard?"

There is no shame in our society, and there are two separate nations within the US,
If you protect marriage, the unborn, the right to exercise one's conscience, express the faith that was a pillar of the nation, or even engage in practices such as hunting or fishing, you will be targeted. The plan is simple - to frighten any and all from doing what the Left and their radical allies don't like.
A young lady named Kendall Jones likes to hunt, and her family has sufficient funds to pay for a hunting trip to Africa. The firestorm of hatred and threats that followed the posting of her hunt photos led to this response:
https://www.facebook.com/kendalltakeswild
"Ok I'm gonna explain for the 53567544th time. The rhino was a green hunt, meaning it was darted and immobilized in order to draw blood for testing, DNA profiling, microchip ping the horn and treating a massive leg injury most likely caused by lions. People try to say that lions will not attack a hippo, rhino or elephant, quiet the contrary. Lions attack and kill the young of these species. The adults try to fight the lions off and are regularly successful, but do get injuries in the process. As for the lion that I shot with my bow, it was within a 45,000 acre fence with other lions and plains game. It's in S Africa, so yes it was within a fence, but 45,000 acres is the equivalent to 70 square miles and considered fair chase. Lions that have come in and taken over a pride, not only kick the older lion out, but will also kill all of his cubs so that the lioness will come into heat again. Controlling the male lion population is important within large fenced areas like these in order to make sure the cubs have a high survival rate. Funds from a hunt like this goes partially to the government for permits but also to the farm owner as an incentive to keep and raise lions on their property. If there was no value, the farmers would kill all of the lions to have a higher survival and breeding rate in their plains game populations. Lions take a toll on plains game, thus farmers need money to purchase plains game and change out bloodlines within their lion prides to prevent interbreeding. Now to the leopard, this was a free ranging leopard in Zimbabwe on communal land. The money for the permit goes to the communal council and to their village people. Within this area of approximately 250,000 acres, 107 head of cattle was killed in a single year due to leopard kills. Leopard populations have to be controlled in certain areas. So yes, my efforts do go to conservation efforts and are all fair chase, not canned hunts. In fact these are very mentally and physically challenging hunts, on foot tracking and walking miles and miles a day."

The threats and regular abuse were however less than satisfactory for one pig in Virginia. His response was to offer money to anyone who could provide compromising photos of the young lady. His move served two purposes; he gets to frighten others into refraining from hunting and to feed his sick, perverted mind.
As have noted previously, less than two hundred years ago, this coward would have been slapped in the face by a real man and informed that he had until the next morning to decide to use pistols or swords.

Glenn Beck Supports Crush of Illegals
There are times when even the most hitherto loyal Americans either switch sides or show their true colors.
Glenn Beck has amassed a fortune by exposing troubling political and societal trends and generally espousing conservative views. I noted on a previous post, however, that his insistence that violence in defense of freedom in any case was wrong went a great distance towards a self-inflicted destruction his own credibility. What got him on that subject was the BLM/Cliven Bundy standoff a few months ago, but his remarks were clearly meant to decry violence in under any circumstance*, which is quite problematic in a nation that would not exist had it not been for people who were willing to fight; you can't honestly identify yourself as an American if you begin with the premise that it is never justifiable to commit violent acts.
Now Glenn Beck has taken to effectively advocate what is the City of Gold for the Left - a policy of allowing anyone and everyone who wishes to move to the US to do so. The idea of Open Borders the ultimate goal for the Left in all Western nations
- It works perfectly with their position that all sovereign nations must be done away with.
- It is the best means to erase any sense of identity of the citizens of any particular nation.
-In the vast majority of cases immigrants from Third World nations contribute to the welfare burden and vote overwhelmingly for Left-leaning political parties.
I am done with Beck. To take his arguments to their logical conclusion, we could well have a US that in which those of those Western European descent, together with 4th generation or greater African-Americans, are a tiny minority in a very short period of time. Demography determines the politics and societal makeup of nations.
I will leave out further comments and let Beck speak for himself.

"On July 19, Beck will travel to McAllen, Texas, because he believes Americans must "open our hearts" to the illegal immigrant children who have been unlawfully entering the country..............
Beck said helping illegal immigrant children, most of whom have fled Central American nations, was more "right" to him than even calling out radical Islam.
“We’re going to fill some tractor-trailers with food, with water,” Beck said. “The churches have asked us if we could bring teddy bears and soccer balls, so we’ve loaded up a whole tractor-trailer of nothing but teddy bears and soccer balls. And then I’m going to go serve breakfast and lunch, and I’m going to help unload these trucks, hot meals for 3,000. That’s what we’re doing.”
Some illegal immigrants have been found to have contagious diseases and dangerous gang affiliations, but Beck also emphasized that the United States should be accessible to "all those fleeing poverty and violence."
“Through no fault of their own, they are caught in political crossfire,” Beck said. “And while we continue to put pressure on Washington and change its course of lawlessness, we must also help. It is not either, or. It is both. We have to be active in the political game, and we must open our hearts.”............"

ISIS Attacking Churches, Shiite, and Possibly Sunni Shrines
The destruction of Christian churches and Shiite Shrines and Mosques by ISIS militants comes as no surprise. Although in the 1970's - 1980's (When Iran was the nation which we we were told was the big problem), we were told that Shiites were the dangerous radicals, Sunni Muslims have for some time proven that Orthodox Islam is the far greater threat. Shiites may not be the nicest of guys, but I have yet to read of widespread or organized destruction of Churches or Sunni mosques by those who subscribe to the position that a rightful caliph must have some connection to Mohammed's son-in-law.
When I read that individuals believed to be associated with ISIS had made remarks that appear to threaten the Kaaba*, however, I was as first perplexed. If ISIS is made up of Sunni radicals, why would they target what is considered the holiest place in Islam?
That got me thinking that there must be a Wahhabist element in ISIS. Wahhabism was an extremely puritanical school of Islam that played a key role in supporting the Saud family in their quest to rule Arabia. Articles that I read years ago about the war that resulted in the Saud dynasty noted that Wahhabists demanded at that time that anything not directly associated with Mohammed should be considered haram.
I felt that this could be a reason for the destruction of (again, among other things) what is believed by some to be the grave of the Biblical Jonah**. Showing any degree of reverence while visiting any location could well be labeled as idolatry by Wahhabists, and the same approach could be applied even to the rock of the Kaaba.
To offer an example of their influence, as Wahhabists constituted a key part of the forces at the disposal of the Saud clan, the saudi prince/sheikh (I can't recall his name) was left on one occasion with little option that to make a public display breaking his record player.
In time, the Saudis of course won the war and the throne of Arabia, but the Wahhabists have always held to the "we put you guys there and we can throw you out" attitude. This is why sharia law is so strictly enforced in Saudi Arabia, why women cannot drive nor leave their homes without accompanying male relatives, and is the reason behind the ever-present morality police.
Wahhabists have until now be consent to let the Saudi ruling family live the high life for decades, but if the Wikipedia*** article (among others I read tonight) is correct in claiming that ISIS subscribes the to Wahhabist point of view, the Saudi royal family may be wondering if their privileged position is in danger.
I will say one thing with a fairly high degree of certainty, though. If ISIS does in fact target the Kaaba, there could well be a major civil war within Sunni Islam.

"Mostly comprised of Sunnis, ISIS surprised few when it vowed to destroy sites revered by the rival Shia sect. The two main blocs of Islam have been at odds for nearly 1,400 years because of a dispute over who was Prophet Muhammad's successor.

Mecca, home of Islam's most sacred mosque, Al-Masjid al-Haram, and its famed Kaaba, a cube-shaped, granite and marble building adorned with Koranic inscriptions and priceless relics like the golden rain spout, a purported footprint of Abraham and the black cornerstone believed to have been placed by Muhammad.

ISIS' beef with Mecca seems to be that Muslims have lost touch with the true meaning of their faith, according to the threat.

NOW Lists Nuns Groups Among "Dirty 100"
The TV comedy series Seinfeld occasionally had Jerry Seinfeld mentioning a comic book world that was the polar opposite of that of his favorite comic book character Superman.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bizarro_World
"....In the Bizarro world of "Htrae" ("Earth" spelled backwards), society is ruled by the Bizarro Code which states "Us do opposite of all Earthly things! Us hate beauty! Us love ugliness! Is big crime to make anything perfect on Bizarro World!" In one episode, for example, a salesman is doing a brisk trade selling Bizarro bonds: "Guaranteed to lose money for you". Later, the mayor appoints Bizarro No. 1 to investigate a crime, "Because you are stupider than the entire Bizarro police force put together". This is intended and taken as a great compliment.........."
Today, the term has come to mean anything in which reality of inverted:
http://washingtonexaminer.com/article/2550562
"The National Organization for Women, one of the nation's largest pro-abortion lobbies, named a Catholic order of nuns to a list called “The Dirty 100,” a catalog of the 100 entities which filed lawsuits against theAffordable Care Act's contraception mandate.
The order of nuns NOW finds “dirty” are the Little Sisters of the Poor, a religious institute for women founded by St. Jeanne Jugan in 19th century France. They are dedicated to care of the elderly impoverished, and describe their spiritual charism as “grace of hospitality toward the aged poor.”
Today the Little Sisters operate 200 homes on five continents, and serve over 13,000 residents. In a promotional video for the order, Sister Camille Rose said “We celebrate the gift of life, the joy of living, and we care for the elderly poor. We try to make them happy in whatever way we can.” The nuns themselves live communally and take vows of poverty, chastity, obedience, and hospitality.
The Dirty 100 campaign has included a demonstration which took place outside theSupreme Court on March 25, and a petition on NOW's website, inviting supporters to “refuse to support businesses, nonprofits, and religious entities that have decided that their personal beliefs are more important than the rights of their employees.” NOW and its national leadership also promotes the campaign on Twitter, using the hashtag #Dirty100..........
The Little Sisters of the Poor were not the only Catholic organization put to shame by NOW's campaign. Priests for Life, an organization of priests and laity that advocates against the death penalty and abortion, as well as 12 Catholic dioceses were included on the list."
The Left and their radical allies are so wrapped up with enslaving some, and stripping away the rights of the rest, that their only reaction to individuals and groups that act truly selflessly and help others is to denigrate them and their work. This sick attitude is adequately illustrated by remarks made by Leftist publications such as Slate and atheists like the late Christopher Hitchens. Caring not at all for the plight of the poor, and having done even less for them, these types can think of no way to deal with their sense of failure to help their fellows than to attack and misrepresent anyone who actually dedicates his or her life to those in need.
Hitchens' sense of self-loathing was so strong that he could find no other means of wrestling with it other than to repeatedly claim that he hated (this exact word) Mother Theresa of Calcutta. People can debate the efficacy of the decisions she took in allocating the resources made available to her in her career all they want, but when those who spend their lives in clean, sanitary, and prosperous societies while giving little or nothing to help the poor, the very suggestion that one who did far more was not helpful does nothing but make the claimant look like a moron.
People such as the members The Little Sisters of the Poor, Mother Theresa (or those of her order), or anyone who sacrifices far more and exposes themselves to more dangers and diseases than we ever will are not ignored in our Orwellian Bizarro World - they are attacked, and mercilessly so. They are attacked for being less selfish than we are, for refusing to cower before the forces of enslavement and societal and spiritual decay as we often do (at least by our own inaction), and for the simple fact of being what we are not - examples of humility.

WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH
The few who dare to dispute what is fed to them by the Left are no longer merely being mocked. Hateful of anyone who will not acquiesce to mind-altering and societal-rotting laws and regulations that only increase the power of the State at the expense of actual human rights, the bots now will stop at nothing in their attacks.
After the story of the Honorable Ms. Holly Fisher, take note the vicious comments made to and about her. In the case of those made by males (certainly not men), these disgusting cowards hide behind the laws that allow them to so in safety. As recently as 200 years ago, treating a woman in a manner that wasn't half as bad as we see today would end with a real man slapping the offender in the face and a demand to meet the following morning for his choice of pistols or swords to settle the matter.
It's well done- Chik-fil-A for Pro-Marriage, Pro-Life (self-explanatory), and Hobby Lobby for Pro-Conscience.

Cultural Marxism Creates U.S.-Hating Youth
From the Frankfurt School Cultural Marxism came to the US as Western European Marxists fled the Nazis. After gaining a foothold in Columbia University, the disease spread steadily as 'The long march through the institutions" continued.
Today, parents who themselves have not already fallen victim to the disease either have no idea of what is being taught even to their primary school children or take the easy way way and turn a blind eye to the contagion. Young people fortunate enough to find a college in which steps have been taken to weed out the infected in the ranks of academicians are a tiny minority.
Today, in the nation (of appreciable size) with the most lopsided good-to-bad ratio ever to have existed, the youth are largely ruined and revel in their ignorance:

Border Patrol Agent - White House Aids Smuggling of Illegals
I have read a number of reports that both US Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have become weary of being prevented from doing their jobs. The White House has ensured that deportations have ground to a halt while falsely pumping statistics by counting those turned away at the border as deportations. Illegals that have been detained are being cut loose* after being given hearing dates that (in the vast majority of cases) that will be casually ignored. The current crush of illegals, some of whom not only do not speak Spanish but only know native dialects ( making even Mayan/Quechua of no use to interpreters) has all the makings of an invasion without weapons**.
According to one Border Patrol Agent, though, lots of guns and drugs are being easily brought into the US while authorities have their hands full with the surge that brings us ever closer to becoming just another third wold nation - but not before we are bankrupted with yet more welfare recipients.
http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2014/07/03/border-patrol-agent-apparently-defies-gag-order-to-go-unfiltered-on-cnn-hear-his-big-claim-about-obama-admin/
"Border Patrol agent Hector Garcia on Thursday accused the Obama administration of “aiding, abetting and facilitating the smuggling of illegal aliens across the border.”
In an interview with CNN, Garza said the current influx of illegal immigrants is “organized” and “orchestrated” by the drug cartels. Additionally, he said the federal government is giving illegal immigrants a “free pass.” He said the feds are using the equivalent of the honor system in asking illegal immigrants to later report to an immigration hearing — even though the majority of them will never do so.
With resources being diverted to process illegals, the crisis then allows drug cartels to sneak illegal drugs and weapons across the U.S. border undetected, he explained.
Garza later argued that U.S. taxpayers are going to be on the hook to provide for the immigrant families.
“How do you expect a mother from Honduras that is crossing the country with 3 to 5 children, and they’re all young-aged children, how do you expect for that mother who comes to this country to actually begin working?” he asked.
He continued: “This illegal alien who comes to this country with 3 to 5 kids is gonna depend on our welfare system, on government assistance. And you know what? That is costing the taxpayer a lot of money.”..........."

"Officials Under Fire For Dumping Illegal Immigrants In U.S."
"Scores of illegal immigrants, caught by authorities in Texas trying to sneak into the country via the Rio Grande Valley, are being flown, bused and then abandoned out of state in places like Arizona, New York and Maryland.If the immigrants had been from Mexico, authorities would release them back across the border. But these would-be immigrants come from Central American countries, such as El Salvador and Guatemala, and trying to get them back to their country of origin has been a costly and largely unsuccessful endeavor.
Ira Mehlman, spokesman for the Federation for American Immigration Reform, told Reuters, “essentially, they have gotten successfully into the country and it’s unlikely that they’re going to leave.”
They are expected to return to Texas on their own once their deportation process nears completion in an honor system of sorts.
“After screening by DHS authorities, the family units will be released under supervision and required to report in to a local ICE office near their destination address within 15 days, where their cases will be managed in accordance with current ICE enforcement priorities,” according to an ICE statement........................"
Added -5/31/14 - I should have noted that the term "Catch and Release" is a reference to returning fish to the water after catching them on a hook and line.

While we are subjected to false admonitions of a "humanitarian crisis" that are clearly designed to allow our feelings to overrule our sense of security, national sovereignty, Rule of Law, and concerns about the transformation of our electorate, the US government is quietly adding more illegal newcomers who will be eligible for taxpayer-funded benefits and who will in time be included among those who will be granted amnesty.
We must also keep in mind that every single "immigration reform" plan that has been hatched in the last few years is, despite the assurances that these are not cases of amnesty, nothing other than amnesty.
It's the polar opposite of "A rose by any other name....."

............Border Patrol agents in the Rio Grande Valley sector apprehended 154,453 immigrants last year – up from 97,762 the previous year.
More shockingly, some say, is the unprecedented surge of children making the more than 1,000-mile journey from Central America to the U.S.-Mexico border to escape violence in their home countries.
Multiple media outlets have reported horrific stories from border districts on youngsters, ranging from toddlers to teens, being raped and murdered on their way to the U.S. border.

Floridalma Bineda Portillo and her two young boys were part of a group of about 400 Central Americans who were flown from Texas to Tucson last weekend. Bineda Portillo and others were then shuttled to Phoenix after the Tucson Greyhound station ran out of space.

[I always thought that committing an illegal act while having children with you is at the very least a case of child abuse if not the criminal offense of employing a minor in the commission of an illegal act]
When they arrived at the station in Phoenix, a volunteer nurse found Bineda Portillo's five-year-old son, Hugo David, wheezing and struggling to breathe. His asthma inhaler had been lost when the family was processed by immigration. The boy's three-year-old brother developed a cold after sitting on the floor for hours in the detention center, his mother said.
"We all started crying because we didn't know what was going to happen to us. It was brutal," the Guatemala native said in Spanish.

Illegals Turning US into A Camp of the Saints
In 1973, French author Jean Raspail penned The Camp of the Saints, a work that described a Western World-destroying scenario that takes place in the future.
It is impossible to provide a synopsis that does not spoil the end, so the best that I can do is to avoid details.
A massive amount of people from a non-western country decide that they want to live in a prosperous nation. When I say massive, I mean roughly a million people; enough to swamp a medium-size nation nation, use up all of its resources, and change the demographics to the extent that the citizens - those descended from the people who had made the country great, are either politically marginalized or in time become a small minority and entirely (And violently) subjugated. The result is a region (No longer a country as the sovereignty of nations falls via a domino effect) that is little different from the place that the invading "refugees" left in the first place.
The Western world, in the span of a few days of landing and what follows afterward, no longer exists but in the propagandized version cultivated by a the elite of a future Socialist superstate.
The flood is not performed by force of arms, that would enable the military, police, and People of the invaded nation to defend their border without misgivings or fear of international outrage and criminal prosecutions in the Hague. No, this is done in the most cowardly manner possible; a crush of unarmed people who will not be stopped but affect to show that they are no threat. Recall the suggestion by one Leftist a couple of years ago that all Arabs descended from they who had had left Israel in the Arab-Israeli wars gather en masse and begin entering the State of Israel - a play taken straight out of the book. The idea is that the IDF would either never be given the order to shoot or that the soldiers themselves would refuse to fire on the invaders as the latter do not demonstrate (Despite the overt aggression of their act) any obvious intentions to act with violence. In the book, the people of the West, full of White Guilt and memories of past atrocities that are wrongfully conflated with the situation of of the invaders, can't bring themselves to defend the land and country that was bequeathed to them by their ancestors. Violence of course follows once they are ashore, but by then it is too late. The People have been cowed into submission.
In the book, Leftists, anarchists, and all other haters of the culture and society that bred them and gave them an opportunity to live is a safe and prosperous nation celebrate the imminent arrival of the invaders. They revel in the soon-to come destruction. Those who dare express their concerns are shot down and labeled as racists or fascists.
Church leaders, failing in their duties both to demand the protection of property/rights of peoples (A key element of the Natural Law and embodied in the Ten Commandments) and the preservation of the very civilization that enabled Western Christianity to grow without being smothered by Islam and other threats, throw all caution to the wind. The invaders, the People are told, must be welcomed. They are only seeking a better place to live and we have no right to deny them that opportunity. Like many Evangelicals and Catholics in the US, the leaders become agents of the dismantling of the Western world that allowed Western Christianity to develop. In your own house, you can only take in so many homeless people before the tipping point is reached when your house is now a slum. God of course demands that you give to help others, but He did not give the People what they have (and was also built by centuries of hard work and good planning) just so they could then wreck the place by self-righteous over-giving. In the end, the Church itself no longer even has a purpose and what is left of it withers away.
The People are, in short, shot-out from years of rich-bashing and indoctrination in and disgust with one's own culture. They have lost the spirit of their ancestors and are in no shape to defend their lands - they acquiesce to the dismantlement.
The book was quickly given the label of "racist" by the Left, which made many non-racist Westerners too afraid to read or discuss the book openly. (My three children are of mixed Korean and European ancestry so I can won't entertain any similar accusations) The teller of the story may or may not reflect the attitude of the author, but what is clear is that the latter holds dear all that is precious about Western Civilization and is gravely concerned with the threats that face it.
With eleven million (Which is only an estimate) illegals inches away from being made citizens as thanks for their illegal acts, and others being granted asylum simply due to stating that they are afraid of the cartels* the US is also facing its own, albeit one administered more slowly but surely, version of The Camp of the Saints. The Left is rejoicing and is making it clear that they will accept nothing short of amnesty**, the People are overwhelmed with guilt, and Christians are set to give away the land to which they sailed that enabled them to live in Freedom.
If even ten percent of the new citizens vote for Conservative candidates (Which is itself unlikely) the fruit of amnesty will still be nothing more than a Socialist US, with even the US part being on the way out.

Ron Paul and Frederic Bastiat - Whats Rights Are and What They are Not
A few months ago, I finally got around to reading The Law by Frederic Bastiat. A Frenchman living in a nation that had already succumbed to all sorts of tariffs, allowing some to sell their products at a higher than marker price and steadily moving in the direction of central planning, Bastiat called for end and to the disastrous path his country was taking. He also wrote the most clear - in my opinion even more so that John Locke, explanations on what rights actually are and the true purposes for laws that I have ever read. His scathing attacks on the turn that States have taken to turn laws from being tools for protecting rights to a means of taking away rights for the sake of whoever is making demands should be read by all.
Bastiat's birthday was yesterday, and I saved the link from The Blaze in order to use it today. By a stroke of fortune, The Blaze also had quotes from former Congressman and Presidential candidate Ron Paul today. In an interview with Dana Loesch, Congressman Paul made statements about the employer mandates for abortifacients and birth control contained in the Affordable Care Act that perfectly echo Bastiat's words.
I will include both links today.

"Former Republican Congressman Ron Paul of Texas said Wednesday that if Americans understood the definition of “rights,” the battle over whether Hobby Lobby should have to pay for its employees’ birth control would likely never have happened.
“It’s the whole issue of the understanding of what rights are, and mandates that we shouldn’t have,” Paul said, speaking on The Glenn Beck Program with guest host Dana Loesch. “If we had that, then we wouldn’t have to go through this agony.”
On Monday, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Hobby Lobby, saying that Obamacare cannot force companies to pay for emergency contraceptive coverage that could lead to abortions if it violates their religious beliefs.
“The claim is that women have a right to free birth control,” Paul explained. “And yet they never talk about the rights of the person that has to provide these demands. But demands and desires and needs can’t become rights, and that’s why we have a society today that, anyone who needs or wants something [says], ‘We have a right to this.’ But they never say, ‘Whose rights must we violate in order to get what we want?’”
“The left never talks about that,” Paul continued. “They only talk about some individual who wants something, and they have a ‘right’ to it, and don’t even bring up the subject of whose rights are going to be violated by providing these services.”
Paul said it is “such a shame” that Americans are fighting over the topic, saying “these debates wouldn’t go on” if we “lived in a free society” and understood the “definition of ‘rights.’”......"
In his, “The Law,” Bastiat begins:
“The law perverted! And the police powers of the state perverted along with it! The law, I say, not only turned from its proper purpose but made to follow an entirely contrary purpose! The law become the weapon of every kind of greed! Instead of checking crime, the law itself guilty of the evils it is supposed to punish!
If this is true, it is a serious fact, and moral duty requires me to call the attention of my fellow-citizens to it.”
Bastiat continues:
“We hold from God the gift which includes all others. This gift is life — physical, intellectual, and moral life............
Life, faculties, production — in other words, individuality, liberty, property — this is man. And in spite of the cunning of artful political leaders, these three gifts from God precede all human legislation, and are superior to it. Life, liberty, and property do not exist because men have made laws. On the contrary, it was the fact that life, liberty, and property existed beforehand that caused men to make laws in the first place.
What, then, is law? It is the collective organization of the individual right to lawful defense.
Each of us has a natural right — from God — to defend his person, his liberty, and his property. These are the three basic requirements of life, and the preservation of any one of them is completely dependent upon the preservation of the other two. For what are our faculties but the extension of our individuality? And what is property but an extension of our faculties? If every person has the right to defend even by force — his person, his liberty, and his property, then it follows that a group of men have the right to organize and support a common force to protect these rights constantly. Thus the principle of collective right — its reason for existing, its lawfulness — is based on individual right. And the common force that protects this collective right cannot logically have any other purpose or any other mission than that for which it acts as a substitute. Thus, since an individual cannot lawfully use force against the person, liberty, or property of another individual, then the common force — for the same reason — cannot lawfully be used to destroy the person, liberty, or property of individuals or groups.
Such a perversion of force would be, in both cases, contrary to our premise. Force has been given to us to defend our own individual rights. Who will dare to say that force has been given to us to destroy the equal rights of our brothers? Since no individual acting separately can lawfully use force to destroy the rights of others, does it not logically follow that the same principle also applies to the common force that is nothing more than the organized combination of the individual forces?
If this is true, then nothing can be more evident than this: The law is the organization of the natural right of lawful defense. It is the substitution of a common force for individual forces. And this common force is to do only what the individual forces have a natural and lawful right to do: to protect persons, liberties, and properties; to maintain the right of each, and to cause justice to reign over us all...........
“But, unfortunately, law by no means confines itself to its proper functions. And when it has exceeded its proper functions, it has not done so merely in some inconsequential and debatable matters. The law has gone further than this; it has acted in direct opposition to its own purpose. The law has been used to destroy its own objective: It has been applied to annihilating the justice that it was supposed to maintain; to limiting and destroying rights which its real purpose was to respect. The law has placed the collective force at the disposal of the unscrupulous who wish, without risk, to exploit the person, liberty, and property of others. It has converted plunder into a right, in order to protect plunder. And it has converted lawful defense into a crime, in order to punish lawful defense.
How has this perversion of the law been accomplished? And what have been the results?
The law has been perverted by the influence of two entirely different causes: stupid greed and false philanthropy............."

".........Bastiat, who was born some 213 years ago in Bayonne, France, wrote perhaps most eloquently with respect to liberty and the law, expressing positions that are as meaningful and relevant today as when they were first written.
In his, “The Law,” Bastiat begins:
“The law perverted! And the police powers of the state perverted along with it! The law, I say, not only turned from its proper purpose but made to follow an entirely contrary purpose! The law become the weapon of every kind of greed! Instead of checking crime, the law itself guilty of the evils it is supposed to punish!

NYC Mayor de Blasio - Obama Has Every Right to Go Around Congress on Illegal Immigration
The computer is still not helping, so no links will be included here.
The quoted text is from the New York daily News Blog and is dated July 1, 2014.
The language used by NYC Marxist Mayor Bill de BlaSIo is standard tactics for Western Leftists - take the position that you want (which is everything on any one issue - no compromise) , accuse any opponents of being the enemy, wanting people to suffer, doing nothing, or failing to reach "common ground", and then assert that Leftists have - not only "the right", but the obligation, to "fix" things, which means to do what they want.
The People have been lead to believe that no actual rights nor laws have any meaning whatsoever and that we are beholden to statists who (in this case) will do their all to import as many new voters for the Marxist-driven Democratic Party of the US. We are fast approaching an era in which those who live, feel, and think as Americans will have zero political power at the ballot box in national elections.
"Mayor de Blasio voiced strong support for President Obama’s go-it-alone effort on immigration reform Tuesday, calling current policy “absolutely ridiculous” and saying the president has “every right” to go around Congress...........
“The president doesn't have a lot of choice here. I think he's tried for years to find common ground with the Republican House members and to address something that obviously has to be responded to in this country,” de Blasio said.
The mayor, who plans to issue municipal ID cards to undocumented immigrants in the city, expressed outrage at the country’s current policies.

[-More leftist drivel - anything that makes sense (in this case, protecting out sovereignty and national identity) is ridiculous. Any consequences of wrongful acts are either not fair and unjust. Anything that threatens their agenda is not sustainable or (their preferred term, unsustainable) ]
“It's absolutely ridiculous, and it's not sustainable, and it's not fair. And the human costs are very real. A lot of injustice occurs to these people. They're our fellow human beings, and it's unfair,” he said.
He said the president’s end-run around Congress was appropriate as a last resort.
“If Congres is uninterested in acting on crucial national issues and on issues that have fundamental impact on our future, then the president has every right to act in every way he can,” he said.
