And a little child shall lead them
By Donald Hank

In a recent column, Olavo de Carvalho writes:

    Here [in the US] even children know what Brazilian political scientists, media commentators, and strategic analysts are far from even imagining: that the real political debate in the USA is not actually between Republicans and Democrats but between globalists and Americanists, and nothing, absolutely nothing that happens in the world today — particularly in areas most directly subject to American influence — can be understood unless seen from this perspective.

By "children" de Carvalho refers specifically to Kyle Williams, the child prodigy who debuted in journalism at the age of 12. The author is being much nicer than he would have to be. What he says about Brazilian analysts also applies to American analysts who make their living writing and speaking about American politics.

Indeed, the terms Republican and Democrat are completely outmoded and need to be scrapped as soon as possible. In fact, the term "conservative" has been so badly distorted in recent years that some conservatives refuse to call themselves that. It is by no means necessary to abandon the term conservative, however, just as it is vitally important to shore up its original definition it and to reject its redefinition. Redefinition is a trick of the left. For example, I wonder how many of us have noticed the invention of the terms "red states" and "blue states," deliberately referring to the left as blue and the right as red. You and I are supposed to forget that red, the color of the bloody Bolshevik Revolution, is in any way associated with the left. Through this chicanery, "red" has been made to mean just the opposite of what it once did. Likewise, the term "Red China" has been dropped.

Thus, the left, regardless of their party, has redefined both left and right, both conservative and progressive. Good conservatives are now supposed to tow the UN party line and accept as gospel the notion of global warming as a human artifact. Likewise, "conservative" pastors piously admonish us to support politicians who will take money from the pockets of hard-working Americans and distribute it into the hands of third world dictators (just as the Panama Canal has been transferred to the Panamanian oligarchy). They also warn us ominously against "nationalism," but this is their code word for sovereignty, a concept without which no nation has ever existed. The "Christian left" is supposedly the new Christianity, but it is in fact the old apostasy that Jesus clearly rejected. And it is aimed at destroying our nation by dissolving it in an EU-like frog stew.

Thus it is entirely fitting for millions of Americans that a presidential candidate should place his hands directly over his crotch while the national anthem is played. Fitting for two reasons: Firstly, because "good Christian" Americans, equating patriotism with idolatry, believe it is unchristian to love one's country. And secondly, because since the Clinton era, it seems more fitting that the seat of male hedonism should be preferred over the heart, the seat of pure sentiment, when contemplating our country. Freedom no longer refers to conscience but rather to the celebration of sin. The symbolism is perfect.

Thus we have been carefully prepared in Pavlovian fashion to accept our demise as a nation. From open borders and amnesty for millions of illegal aliens to the Mexican truck route, the Law of the Sea Treaty, SPP and the first steps toward a US-Canadian supranational army, the slate of our national memory is quickly being wiped clean and the idea of sovereignty has already been converted to a museum piece for many.

Our chances of winning the war against our internal enemy seem bleak.

Of course, so did the chances of winning the American Revolution, as people often point out, reminding that few believed back then that our ragtag army could defeat the most powerful army and navy in the world.

But we have a different problem now. The enemy is so cleverly camouflaged that only the keenest of observers can identify him as such. And worse than that, it is hard to identify even our friends in this crucial battle for America. Many people who are otherwise conservative still strongly support President Bush. I must admit, I too once thought that opposition to G.W. Bush automatically meant opposition to conservatism. I blush to say that. However, when the president supported the amnesty bill last summer and when his administration convicted two innocent border patrol agents for protecting America, there was no longer any question in the mind of anyone who was paying attention to the news that President Bush opposes US sovereignty and our Constitution. If the left had not prepared the ground as carefully as they have since about the 1960s, Bush and his RINO entourage wouldn't have been able to initiate the impending coup that seems inevitable. But for much of the past century, the left has infiltrated the education system, the media, the campus, much of our government, and destroyed most of our moral defenses. And they did so through the intermediary of a conservative icon linked in the minds of many to Ronald Reagan. Like Israel in the time of Jeremiah, we are in the hands of false priests and false prophets.

Recently, WorldNetDaily ran an article that supported the idea of a third-party challenge to the miserable choice offered by our monolithic Republican-Democrat hybrid party, one that resembles for all the world the kind of choice available to voters in Cuba and China.

Those who still understand the concept of sovereignty and its importance to our nation now look to Alan Keyes, whose candidacy was supported in the article.

Let us not look at the formidable odds, and let us not consider a lost battle as a lost war. Let us look to God, our Creator and our protector. And let us pray fervently for the salvation of our country, where, in thousands of public schools, a day of silence will soon be held to protect the sexualization of teens and children.

If we fail, then we can only conclude that God has given us over to uncleanness (Romans 1: 24).

Who would blame Him?
