America had a liberal tradition: conspicuously absent in America were irreconcilable ideologies. But the liberal tradition, defined by honesty and openness, discourse and deliberation, tolerance and pluralism is giving way to libeler-ism in America. To libelers, ideology is paramount. It trumps truth and humanity. Libelers are unable tolerate debate and discourse in a free press. They prefer a fawning press. Where there was once discourse, now there are only denunciations. Libelers slander, divide, and bully Americans. They put politics above people and person-hood. They indenture the individual to ideology. For force, for unity, they strive to collate citizens into ideological collectives. They attempt to substitute the sovereignty of 'settled' science--economic or social or environmental science--for the sovereignty of the people. Have libelers lost faith that truth will triumph and that right is might? Or, would they have truth fail, America fall, and bring right to blight? Else, why would they engage in mass (ie. majority) libel?
Conservatives are often criticized for their lack of "big ideas". Is this because conservatives do not imitate or invent ideologies that were once foreign, once alien to America--ideologies like communal but centrally planned economics (however charitable), centralized climate control, and the collectivization of conscience for the sake of special and minority interests? These ideologies are totalitarian. They are antagonistic to individuality, to individual expression, to the rule of law, to the Constitution, to God, to religion, and to the nuclear family. And so their adherents resort to fiction and libel. It is important to recognize that these collectivist and consuming ideologies are imports. There were no great antagonisms in the United States of America based on feudalism and colonialism--antagonisms that spawned these collectivist and consuming ideologies.
Libeler-ism has no tradition in America: so how have these ideologies gained such a choke-hold here? Certainly, their rise correlates with a general decline of faith and morality. Perhaps they pose a suitable substitute for heaven? Their ascent coincides with the economic descent of the middle class. Ardor for these ideologies has intensified as government has made itself a provider (in some cases, the sole provider) for select classes of citizens. Their rise coincides with their near hegemony over elites in media, academia, and science. Zeal for these ideologies has intensified as policing and surveillance has proliferated warrant-less-ly. In any case, alien ideologies have us on the cusp of a cultural revolution perhaps not unlike China's and perhaps as productive. In any case, for the sake of your personal security, comrades, promptly denounce someone! Denounce someone who rejects imported ideology and collective conscience! Denounce before you are denounced and detained--for Americanism!
