Not so funny story: Communitarian chronicles

10/10/2012

 
I gave a speech in Los Angeles a couple of days ago and it went well.  Before I spoke the crowd said the pledge of allegiance.  I was at the front of the crowd and said the pledge too.  Right after 'liberty and justice for all' the master of ceremonies began to sing God Bless America.  We all remained standing and I noticed that many people still had their hands over their hearts.  I didn't.  I thought about doing it, but I had never done it before and I thought it would be a bit like doing it just because everyone else was...so I didn't.  Well, someone noticed and sent around an email saying that I wasn't patriotic.

Gee.  I guess I didn't know that there was a rule that you have to have your hand over your heart if someone sings God Bless America.

This is what Communitarianism looks like.  Community policing.  Making rules for community members and enforcing them with peer pressure, gossip, shame, and reprimands.  Later, when the community is more dominant, the enforcement becomes law, and violations are punished more severely.  Like smoking in your apartment--now you can be evicted or fined.  What will happen in the future?  Communitarianism is enforcing the rights of the community to the detriment of the individual.

I don't think that anyone would seriously question my patriotism.  My work is clearly dedicated to my country.  But look at how easy it is to become a communitarian---as long as it's YOUR community rule that gets enforced.

Hand over heart is a masonic gesture. Check pictures of Napoleon for examples.

Perhaps the snitcher communitarian is unaware of that?

You have to look out for creeps like this, Rosa. You are effective and smart, so you're scary for them. Even people who seem to be on the same page , like that person, are probably trying to hurt you. Maybe jealous? Or can't stand the idea that they would agree with a Democrat? Please take care of yourself. We are 100% behind you and inspired by you. We would never believe any lie against you.

Rosa, you understand communitarianism very well. The warm fuzzy "community" is used as the instrument of control (as it was in Nazi, Germany and in communist countries today), with only a few insiders really deciding what the rest of us want and need in the community. The illusion is that we are selflessly serving and sacrificing for our community (for each other), when in reality we are sacrificing for the few that control the community.

We are not supposed to put the right hand over the heart in GOD BLESS AMERICA, only for the PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE.

So many ways to spot a communitarian, eh? I think this only means you're doing a GREAT job speaking about this Rosa, and they're having a hard time finding ways to discredit you. I've been watching some of your videos and can see how brilliantly you handle it. I just want you to know that I think America is damn lucky you have the drive and the resources to stand up for all of us. The reviews of your book are wonderful, I haven't seen a copy yet, but I figure somebody will send me one someday.

We're still plugging away, I'm doing a LOT more current research on communitarianism and started a new book called The Green Virgin: Pachamama. Thank you for putting the word into the fray, if it wasn't for you most people would still never have even heard the word, let alone get the gist of it. I've seen hundreds of new ways the word is being introduced right now, and they all make it seem as if it's a natural part of every culture on the planet. Your work helps put the idea out there that it may not be as *natural* as the communitarians would have us believe.

I still automatically put my hand on my heart for anything associated with the flag only because I was raised on post and we had to stop, get out of the car and stand tall during taps and all ceremonies, or our dad would kick our butts. today I think freedom's comment is true, many of our communitarian leanings originated in freaky places, including the pledge of alliegance, but that doesn't stop my hand from going to my heart... it's an automatic reflex.

P.S. Kevin your interviews are getting really good too!

    And the winner is...

    What is UN Agenda 21/Sustainable Development?
    It is the blueprint, the comprehensive plan of action for the 21st century to inventory and control all land, all water, all plants, all minerals, all animals, all construction, all means of production, all energy, all law enforcement, all health care, all food, all education, all information, and all human beings in the world
    .

    Your energy consumption will be controlled until you can't farm, can't manufacture, can't travel, can't fish, can't use your land. Productivity and businesses are limited now.

    You've heard that story about Tony Blair asking Angela Merkel how Germany could have such a high GDP when it was such a small country.  Merkel snapped at him: We still make things in Germany, Mr. Blair.
