It is a jealous envy guarding their own rights and privileges in the Marxist
Catholic belief that if others start to get more, than we must have less.
It is a sinister cultural imperialism that condemns the citizens of other cultures
to a Hobbesian hell and then blames America for not only creating these
Hobbesian hells, yet also blames America for cultural imperialism in trying to free
these people from their misery.
Why should the American people continue to pay for the military might to
keep these countries from destroying there neighbors and their own people and
yet not be able or allowed to free these people so that our military is no longer
needed? Nothing would make the American military shrink and stay home than
reasonable, rational, free and prosperous nations all over the world engaged in
trade and tourism.
The people of repressed countries are fully capable of exercising political
and cultural and economic freedom. They demonstrate that every time they
emigrate to America and immediately being to think like Americans. It is ethnic
hubris and arrogance, or racism even, that says Africans, Asians, and Middle
Easterners and Latin Americans are incapable of exercising these liberties and
responsibilities.
It is Marxist-Catholic-Muslim Theology which claims we must paternalistically
repress people for their own good. Like some father disciplining an errant young
teenager. Whole nations of people are kept as slaves and serfs for the benefit
of few powerful people, all for the Glory of the State and the Divine Right of it to
exist and rule; damn all the individuals who would dare to question that false right.
Should the French people and government be shamed by guilt at wanting to
allow the Iraqi people to suffer? When the French were in North and West Africa
what were they doing? They were plundering, slaughtering, oppressing and
destroying as fast as they could. They did not one thing to bring Freedom and
Prosperity to these people.
It is not the American Government which puts up palaces and posters to the
glory of Saddam, nor is it America which has squandered the wealth of
Venezuela, Mexico and Argentina.
It is the statist philosophy so prevalent even today in Europe and Japan that
keeps these people subjugated. And it is Europe and Japan which refuse to
allow free immigration to their own lands and to make provision for the inclusion
of these new people. After all, a Frenchmen can not contemplate an Algerian
being French, like an American can recognize a Frenchman and an Algerian as
being American.
The fault lies in the belief systems of Muslim governments and Catholic
hierarchies and Marxist politicians who seem to fervently believe that any
individual can be sacrificed for the good of the state and glory of God. What
conceivable set of morals would allow a group of people to suffer and then raise
their voices in opposition to helping others who are just as poor and
downtrodden as they themselves used to be?
The history of the world has been filled with Despots, first enlivened by the
belief that God has ordained their right to repression, and then replaced royalty
with commissars, all for the glory of culture, ethnicity and religion and scientific
socialism -- for which repression is required rather than for individual liberty for
which only personal responsibility is required. Is it really necessary to oppress
their own people to help them and save them from themselves and the American
way of life?
