In 1943, the great Christian apologist and philosopher – C.S.
Lewis – published a small but significant work entitled The Abolition of Man. In Abolition, Lewis argued that unless any
society has some kind of objective standards for reality, that society will
soon crash in upon itself.
In his day, Lewis was lamenting the direction modern
education was taking in ill-preparing the next generation to lead the world and
build society.
One wonders how Lewis would view our modern world in the
almost three-quarters of a century since his writing.
If nothing else, what we see all around us today only
confirms the prophetic nature of Lewis’ observations.
Since the western world has largely abandoned the
Judeo-Christian world view, a huge vacuous void has resulted and logic, reason,
and intelligence have all become casualties of the absurd.
The most recent controversy about “transgendered”
individuals (read “gender confused”) using the public bathrooms of the “sex” to
which they identify as opposed to what their very DNA defines them is a potent,
recent example.
Of course, Hollywood, the national media, and the radical
left in the country have gotten on the bandwagon of this new faux “civil right.”
Perverts, pedophiles, and radical anarchists are rejoicing
everywhere. People will now be forced to
allow these degenerates access to children and women in the most vulnerable of
circumstances.
And, the new “celebrity elite” will never see the toll of
tragedies that will result because of their on-going worship of “tolerance.”
But, we now live in a world where rationality, common sense,
and decency are long-forgotten “buzz words” of a bygone era.
This is the only feasible explanation for the rise of both
Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump – millions of brainless, emotional, fanatical
commitments to dubious individuals that just a decade ago would have been laughed
off most stages anywhere in the country (well perhaps not on many college
campuses).
The p.c. definition of these deluded masses is “low
information voters.” What they really
are is highly akin to the past few decades term – “groupies.”
Just as young, teen-age girls used to swoon over Elvis and
the Beatles, now we see supposedly rational adults swooning over the “celebrity”
Presidential candidates that are next to absolutely clueless about any
important issues a U.S. President will be facing in the modern, dangerous,
complex world.
Maybe Trump and Sanders should form a ticket?
Talk about bringing on a “Zombie Apocalypse”!
Thankfully, America still has a percentage of rational
people who are thoughtful about the future direction our country needs to take
in order to survive.
Many of these people still hold to the Judeo/Christian
worldview and their brains are still intact. (Although, a sad percentage of the
“evangelical” church have paid 30 pieces of silver and sold their souls to buy “Trump
Kool-Aid.”)
But, for those who haven’t, this election is of the utmost
importance. The very survival of America
is at stake.
If America’s future is to include leering perverts who have
exchanged rain coats for high heels and plus-size dresses in Ladies’ rooms all
across the land, then America will die a sad and sorrowful death – ending up
just a clicking footnote on the tongues of future historians.
For those of us who refuse to “go slowly into the night”,
this election means far more than just network ratings and massive phony
Twitter campaigns.
Our government is all but broken – thoroughly infested with the
profane, the incompetent, and the corrupt.
We must make radical changes now if we want to have any remaining
semblance of freedom.
The only real choice for President to challenge the status
quo and restore Constitutional sanity is Ted Cruz.
Far from being a demagogue, Cruz is simply the mouthpiece of
the informed masses seeking survival of America’s greatness. (Similar to Rush
Limbaugh being the voice of informed American patriots for over two decades.)
Barack Obama (and the Clintons before him) have done all
they could to destroy all that was best about America.
The self-god of socialism has been their master; a master
they are hell-bent on forcing on all of us.
But, a stubbornly Constitutionally-committed President Cruz
will work tirelessly to turn the current “race to oblivion” around and set
things right again.
Our Constitution has always worked whenever it was followed,
debated, and even altered legally. It is
only since it has been ignored, violated, and demeaned that America has
suffered such grievous problems as we now face.
The reason for our success as a nation has been because the
Constitution embodies the Judeo/Christian world view fleshed out and put into
practice. It presupposes a foundation of
Biblical Law and Truth.
Despite what brainless, atheist, historians might attempt to
assert, the American Constitution cannot be divorced from the dominant world
view of its day – that of Protestant Biblical Christianity.
This then is the key to saving the culture – a return to the
objective reality the Bible declares and the Constitution embraces.
If we don’t want the next wave of “culture wars” to
normalize things like incest, bestiality, and other all sorts of weirdness, we
have to demand standards that trump “tolerance.”
And, we need to have a President who “gets it”; not
demagogues who can’t stop looking at themselves in the mirror long enough to
see reality for what it actually is.
If America doesn’t elect Ted Cruz in 2016, it will be time
for Don Meredith to sing, “Turn out the lights, the party’s over.”
Let us hope and pray that C.S. Lewis’ assertions in The Abolition of Man were a warning and
not an evening news report.
