Confusion reigns today because we think in terms of a left-right dichotomy. Communism is on the left we are told to believe and Fascism comes from the right, while people and parties are either “leftwing” or “rightwing.”
America is disintegrating, and due in large part to the fallacious left-right dichotomy, the underlying infection and its’ carriers cannot be clearly identified. Consequently, we fight against symptoms rather than the cause of infection, which is an exercise in futility. To clear the air, we need to think in terms of the Founder’s rather ingenious political spectrum, a yardstick for measuring political power in any system of government. In other words, the yardstick is not about political parties or movements such as the MAGA movement but about political power.
Government is a system of ruling or controlling. In the American Dictionary of the English Language, 1828, Noah Webster defines government as:
“The exercise of authority; direction and restraint exercised over the actions of men in communities, societies or states; the administration of public affairs, according to established constitution, laws and usages, or by arbitrary edicts.”
On the Founder’s yardstick, there are two extreme forms of governance, Anarchy and Tyranny, or in today’s vernacular, the Statist Deep State and its’ co-dependent, the Democrats depraved Liberal voting constituents. These two extremes are placed at either end of the spectrum. Statists, whether described as the Deep State, the oligarchy, or totalitarians, for example, are on the far left of the spectrum while the cult of the unrestrained, irrational, and lawless are on the far right.
Depraved Democrats and their equally depraved constituents are all who demand an end to truth and moral restraint, which means for instance that the LGBTQ, BLM, Antifa, Drag Queens, University HAMAS supporters, abortion for any reason crowd, Satanists, Wicca, and the transgender movement are of the depraved and irrational crowd as measured by the Founders yardstick. At the one extreme there is neither moral law, truth, or cultural restraint. At the other extreme there is depravity, oppressive control and too much power — Big Brother in other words.
Both extremes are united by godlessness, moral relativism, unrestrained passions, will to power, and arbitrary edicts, which are merely politicized caprice, whim, thievery, greed, gluttony, hatred, envy, vengeance-seeking, lust, resentment, and covetousness.
Occupying the middle area of the spectrum are both yesterday’s Founding generation and today’s Constitutional Conservatives of every skin color, of both sexes and from every walk of life. Like the Founders, they believe the rights of all people are unalienable (from the supernatural Creator) and cannot be violated without risking the wrath of Divine Justice. And whether believers or not, they hold that Christianity is one of the West’s central foundational pillars:
“The Christian religion is the religion of our country. From it are derived our prevalent notions of the character of God, the great moral governor of the universe. On its doctrines are founded the peculiarities of our free institutions.” (William McGuffey, d. May 4, 1873, professor at the University of Virginia, president of Ohio University, and author of McGuffey’s Readers). (1)
Constitutionalists also believe that individual liberty lives or dies according to whether the people are self-controlled and virtuous or lacking self-control and demoralized, thereby depraved:
“No people will tamely surrender their Liberties, nor can any be easily subdued, when knowledge is diffused and Virtue is preserved. On the Contrary, when People are universally ignorant, and debauched in their Manners, they will sink under their own weight without the Aid of foreign Invaders.” (Samuel Adams, Founding Father) (1)
Why are only virtuous people capable of individual freedom? In simple terms, all men are compound mixtures of strengths and weaknesses and good and evil. In short, all men are both kindly Dr. Jekyll and evil Mr. Hyde. Virtuous people are those who over time and with great self-sacrifice, personal suffering, and perseverance, have learned — however imperfectly — to restrain their Mr. Hyde appetites. In attainment of self-control, virtuous people are by consequence capable of self-governance. This means they are able to live and work within an atmosphere of limited government, or just enough government to protect liberty, rights, and property but not too little that anarchy ensues. Without virtue, liberty degenerates into the criminal madness that now characterizes America and the West:
“What is liberty without virtue? It is the greatest of all possible evils…madness without restraint. Men are qualified for civil liberty in exact proportion to their disposition to put moral chains upon their own appetites.” (Edmund Burke, 1791 at the National Assembly) (1)
Deep State Statists and their Demoralized, Lawless Constituents
“What distinguishes Communism from the fanatical authoritarian religions (ie, Islam) with which it has so many points in common is… its rigid, dogmatic and uncompromising exclusion of any element in life lying outside the confines of the present material world….Truth and objectivity are of minor importance. The main purpose is to defame and denounce in every way.” Communism is “the faith without God.” (William Henry Chamberlin, Russia’s Iron Age, p. 311)
On the Founder’s spectrum, Communism, Fascism, Islam, Socialism, the WEF and their crowd, would be on the left since they are totalitarian faiths and/or belief systems. Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Fidel, George Soros, our Deep State, “elite” green environmentalists, Luciferian Globalists, the WEF, Obama, Kamala Harris, and Klaus Schwab, for example, would likewise be located on the far left as they are adherents of totalitarian systems.
On the right are the wicked Democrats and their demoralized, lawless Liberal constituents. Among their number today are all who by dint of propaganda, demoralization, mind-conditioning, and dumbing-down are the Democrats and their Liberal constituents.
After fifty years of systematic demoralization, a diabolical agenda stealthily carried out by Deep State mind-conditioners of cognitive dissonance and moral depravity, today’s Democrats and their depraved Liberal constituents are self-centered adolescents in adult size bodies. They are whining, nasty narcissists full of the pride and unrestrained appetites that brazenly define hate whitey, obscenity, pornography, open borders, destruction of historic landmarks, theft of the 2020 Presidential election, reparations, the perversion of children, pedophilia, blasphemy, covetousness, hedonism, sodomy, sadomasochism, laziness, and envy as “living Constitutional rights.” These are the depraved individuals who not only believe that anyone who hurts their feelings or looks at them the wrong way should be charged with a hate crime but also that money and rights grow on trees.
Liberalism is the default position of self-centered children, notes Reb Bradley, author of “Born Liberal Raised Right.” Bradley said that sexually, today’s America is “a nation ruled by its passions.” “Heinous acts of casual disregard for life, unheard of fifty years ago, have become a familiar item on the evening news; students killing classmates, children murdering their playmates….these gruesome crimes are merely symptomatic of a breakdown of moral fiber...” (pp. 2-3)
That far right and far left factions are united in a wicked, twisted co-dependent relationship makes sense really, for as virtuous people are those who are most capable of self-governance, they represent true adulthood, strength, authority, truth, reality, courage, and order, which things the other two factions deeply resent and are in rebellion against. Peter Hitchens, brother of the infamous militant atheist Christopher, and author of “The Rage Against God: How Atheism Led Me to Faith,” says of this sick relationship, there is an
“...alliance between political utopianism (totalitarianism) and the new cult of the unrestrained self, unleashed into the Western world by Sigmund Freud and Wilhelm Reich, by Alfred Kinsey and Herbert Marcuse, promoted by the self-pitying anthems of rock music, and encouraged by the enormous power of “progressive” education in which so many cultural revolutionaries work.” (p. 135)
America’s Plague of Madness
Sanity is the ability to recognize right from wrong independently of personal feelings, fears, impulses, desires, and compulsions. Rational thinking then, is reasoning disciplined to resist the corrupting influence of feelings, thus allowing for the acceptance of truths that contradict feelings, desires, and fancies. In short, rational thinking is morally-informed reasoning. It is dispassionate, rightly-ordered and logical, and is the fruit of impulse-control and unswerving commitment to enduring truths, moral law, and principle.
Irrational ‘reasoning’ is the opposite. Irrationality is the inability to recognize right from wrong independent of personal feelings, impulses, and compulsions. By the degree to which the conscience and moral sense are corrupt, so too is reason. The greater the degree of corruption, the more depraved is reason.
This being the case, the most frightening aspect of Deep State and Democrat and Liberal depravity is that through the White House, legislatures and courts they have the power to lead our country farther down the path to moral decline and from there into the abyss.
During the disastrous Obama administration, an astute commentator to the Prager Zeitung incisively cut through the confusion caused by the left-right dichotomy to reveal the dreadful reality:
“The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince…The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool” “It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.” (Prager Zeitung )

Yes, this well describes the rotten characters of the morally degenerate.
However, the election results may not necessarily reflect a morally degenerate America but rather they’re likely to be the results of widespread ballot fraud.
Perhaps Obama was elected by widespread Leftist propaganda from the usual sources, but Biden could likely have been elected by widespread ballot fraud. The evidence for this is in the electorate’s recent shrugging off of that propaganda, an electorate which no longer supports Biden but rather supports Trump. That suggests that America is not as morally degenerate as the election results indicated.
The moral degenerates are those who are still brainwashed by America-hating extremist Democrat Left Wing propaganda and who still support that extremist agenda.
Those extremist factions are the ones who pose a clear and present danger to righteous American morality and may well resort to violence when they lose their immoral grip on awakened American consciences.
