Where to, America, Western Civilization...?

[John21652]

But wait. There’s more! More examples of what the West is doing to shoot itself in the foot. Both feet actually.

Take this article from Britain’s Mail Online.

I never imagined the town hall Nazis would go quite so mad
Writer Richard Littlejohn explains just how silly life has become in the new nanny state that is Britain. The old Christian morality has been replaced by a profligate public sector which has grown at the expense of the private sector and is enforcing rules and regulations which are destroying the very heart and soul of the nation.

At one stage, I worked out there were more people in Britain earning a good living from AIDS than were actually dying from it.

That was followed by the multiculturalism obsession, which could be satisfied only by hiring thousands of equality and diversity commissars.

‘Dustmen often come as Santa Claus’

In between, we’ve had every lunacy from real nappy coordinators to condom commandos and advisers to address the very special needs of gay alcoholics.

Today’s driving force is the great global warming scam, entailing the hiring of legions of eco-warriors and enviro- crime fighters, on salaries commensurate with their self-righteousness.

More than 5,000 new jobs - and counting - have been created by local authorities to cash in on the ‘global warming’ hysteria and £30k seems to be about the going rate.

Town halls across Britain are estimated to have spent more than £100million recruiting an army of green warriors.

You could have fooled me. Islington may be leading the way in vindictive parking enforcement, stabbing, street crime, graffiti and child molestation in council care homes. But saving the planet?

Meanwhile, in Tower Hamlets, the poorest borough in London and arguably the most deprived in Britain, 58 employees have job titles which contain the words ‘climate change’ or ‘global warming’.

When Bedford Borough Council advertised for a climate change officer the perks included, wait for it, an ‘essential car user allowance’. You couldn’t make it up.

In Afghanistan, the Taliban banned dancing because it was anti-Islamic. In Britain, the elf ‘n’ safety nazis are banning dancing because it’s dangerous.

St Peter’s Church, Derby, had to remove hassocks on the orders of elf ‘n’ safety in case someone at prayer fell off one.

It won’t be long before they’re insisting that all members of the congregation have to wear skateboard-style knee pads before taking communion.

And a Catholic church in Shropshire was threatened with closure after a safety report, which claimed that after 100 years, a build-up of incense smoke may have caused the air in the church to become toxic and possibly carcinogenic. Ye gods.

It seems that the west is hell bent on destroying itself by removing all vestiges of self reliance amongst its citizens and replacing it with a system where individuals are directed all the way.

God help us…

Come now, citizen. Surely, you would not disagree with the sound judgment of your duly-elected leaders guided by scholarly peer reviewed science? And where is your compassion for your fellow man? Your paycheck can and will be put to much better use for the good of all.

When, oh when are Christians going to show some courage?

The episode was a continuation of last week’s episode which depicted the Prophet Muhammad in a bear suit.

A radical Muslim website threatened the show’s creators following that episode.

So, what do the not so brave creators of South Park do in the face of this threat. Other than censor the show?

You guessed it. They are now working on a show that will mock Jesus Christ.

Cowardice. Pure and simple.

Of course, they know that Christians aren’t going to declare a fatwa on them or threaten them with violence.

Well, South Park is being its usual disgusting self, IMHO. I suggest we do the responisible thing, find out who the sponsors of the show are going to be and boycott them! Even if the boycott doesn’t work (and so many good people will tell me that boycotting anything doesn’t work), at least it will send a message that folks can get behind.

When I was a young girl at a good Catholic school run by saintly Irish nuns, we were told that as Americans, we would never be persecuted for our Faith. Now we are in those times, where we are in danger of being more than just verbally persecuted.

Like Balthasar says to Ben Hur (at the Crucifixion) “I have lived too long.”

Cowardice. Pure and simple.

It is cowardice, John, disgusting cowardice to let this go without a comment…and shame on the head of any good person, Christian or otherwise, who would watch such trash!

It is sometimes overwhelming when one is confronted by attitudes and ideas that seem to threaten to undermine the very existence of our society. I came across an article called AMERICA’S PARENTS: WHERE IS YOUR OUTRAGE? and the article began with this quote -
. A little further into the article and I read how one of my own countrymen, Professor Peter Singer, now a Bioethicist at Princeton University has suggested that -

The article then lists those things which are being taught at schools and universities which are effectively undermining our western societies. Although the article concentrates on the US education system, it is similar to what is happening in Australia and elsewhere. It is all an affront to Catholicism in particular and Christianity in general.
So, where to…?

Hey. In Scandanavia, they can kill 'em until they’re TWELVE.

And yes, it is an affront. To all those who wail that we have to save the planet, you might want to remember that the unborn human and the ‘inconvenient’ human are the real endangered species.
