A Cautionary Tale…..

By Mark M. Haney, A Concerned American 

This is a message to all concerned citizens who long for the ‘America’ our Founders fought so hard to give us. 

The left has spent 40 years tearing at the fabric of what has made this country so enduring – our uniquely American culture. Liberals and the destructive left have consumed the Democratic Party, gutting it from within, so that all that remains is a hulking, rotting husk emanating the accompanying stench. This they are attempting to do to the United States of America, unfortunately with too much success. 

They have infiltrated the media; education; the academy; the military; the popular culture – mainly Hollywood and the music industry; and finally – they have infected federal, state and local bureaucracies – most critical to the security of the country – their presence has permeated the State department, the CIA and the FBI, making them so politically correct as to be virtually useless in the war against Islamofascism (read “Shadow Warriors” by Kenneth R. Timmerman). Despite their infiltration of the upper levels of the military, with far too many Generals and Colonels in the mold of Wesley (Weasely) Clark, the vast majority of the NCOs and enlisted core are still the heart of the services and are performing heroically in all theatres. 

In the education arena, the objective has been to “dumb down” the younger generations so as to preclude them from thinking critically. The music industry did a great job in that effort in the 70’s and 80’s promoting feelings as the basis for decisions rather than thoughtful consideration. How many of you remember the Neil Diamond hit, “Don’t Think, Feel” – that says it all. 

And over the past four decades or so, Hollywood has produced countless works meant to subtly (and sometimes not so subtly) undermine America at every turn. Most recently, in this decade, they have taken fresh aim at the military with such current war movies as, “In The Valley of Elah”, “Rendition”, “Redacted” and most recently, “Brothers”. All these movies were designed to present the American Military in a negative light. Fortunately for the country, the bulk of the American citizenry understand this and those movies failed miserably at the box office. 

Meanwhile, in the past few years Hollywood, both Television and the Silver Screen, has been taking a new tack – mainstreaming what once was thought of as evil. I am referring to the plethora of Vampire related themes emanating from TV and Movies. In my opinion, television shows such as ‘Angel’, ‘True Blood’, ‘Vampire Diaries’, ‘Moonlight’, ‘Twilight’, and ‘Blood Ties’ continue blurring the lines between good and evil. After decades of being inundated with this drivel, a large percentage of  younger American generations are so morally weak that they have a diminished capacity to differentiate between right and wrong. They have been taught (indoctrinated) that all cultures are equally valid and that it is ‘wrong’ to make judgments to the contrary. Even our president, sadly, has promoted the idea that America is not a Christian nation. 

Now, after years of elevating evil, Hollywood now appears to be making an effort to diminish the perception of ‘good’. There is a new movie coming, supposedly opening on January 22^nd, called “Legion”. The following is the description from Yahoo Movies: “An out-of-the-way diner becomes the unlikely battleground for the survival of the human race. When God loses faith in Mankind, he sends his legion of angels to bring on the Apocalypse. Humanity’s only hope lies in a group of strangers trapped in a desert diner and the Archangel Michael.” 

I watched the trailer and it does the trick, the angels are indeed the ‘bad guys’, with Gabriel as one of their leaders. We, as parents and grandparents, must caution and educate our children, and their children, against this destructive propaganda, and lead them back to the values of American exceptionalism that made this country great. (By the way, Islam is chomping at the bit to fill the void left by the secularization of the country – witness Europe and the UK).
