In The Screwtape Letters, C.S. Lewis imagined a correspondence between a supervising devil in Hell and an apprentice devil working in our world.
Here in real life, we have this: an email to John Podesta, Clinton campaign chairman, from operative Bill Ivey, with the–ahem!–“Center for American Progress.” If you call going down the pipe progress.
No need here to editorialize. I’ll just quote the relevant passage. ( http://www.naturalnews.com/055609_John_Podesta_leaked_emails_unaware_and_compliant_citizenry.html )
We’ve all been quite content to demean government, drop civics, and in general conspire [his word, not mine] to produce an unaware and compliant citizenry. The unawareness remains strong [“Strong”?] but compliance is obviously fading rapidly. This problem demands some serious thinking…
And there you have it, my fellow deplorables. If this is how you want your country to be run, just allow these people to capture the White House.
Ivey: “I fear we’re all now trying to navigate a set of forces [FORCES] that cannot be simply explained or fully understood, so it is and will remain interesting.” Forces – he doesn’t know it, but the “forces” are the Hands of God in this election. My first reaction to his equating “unawareness” to a “fading compliance” was a contradiction in terms. However, thinking about the many people who HAVE been enlightened to the full extent of the Clintons’ corruption, but continue to remain compliant, there is, in fact, a bit of truth in it.
Liked the Bob Hope clip. I also watched the Archie Bunker clip that was the next video. He’s portrayed as a racist, but he’s no dummy.
Holy smokes! Just unbelievable.
Much today is unbelievable
I just came back from town. Looking for a specific grocery item, I stopped at a supermarket near the center of town, and they now have a full time, fully armed, police officer standing in front of the store.
Earlier, at another grocery store, in a nice neighborhood, the guy in front of me sauntered up to the self checkout, then bolted out the door with two bottles of Fireball cinnamon flavored whiskey. If you’re going to risk criminal charges, at least go for some decent Scotch. 🙂
There seems to be a lot more of that. What kind of people have we been raising?
It’s stunning. Some of these people seem to have no conscience.
God never should have been taken out of public school.
Agreed. When I started school, we said a prayer, daily.
All through my school career, the day started with the pledge of allegiance, a reading of a psalm and the Lord’s prayer. A great way to start the day.
