The Culture of Death, Cleared for Landing

In the bloody, brutal clearances mentioned above, the world’s media rarely, if ever, complained. Instead, they made excuses for those who did the clearing. Many apologists said, “Some sacrifices must be made for the good of the Revolution!” Others used the popular, “Can’t make an omelet without breaking eggs!” Always in vogue among those who justified clearing people out was the “It is our destiny. It is our manifest destiny.”

The New York Times, whose reporter in Russia wrote lots of articles telling its readers that the Revolution was helping everyone on earth take a great step forward, seems especially adept at making excuses for politically correct abuses of human rights. The National Geographic takes similar positions, but with better pictures. Others tend to follow their lead.

A century or so after Scotland’s successful clearance, we see that nothing good was accomplished. The Highlands of Scotland, where millions of happy families were raised for thousands of years, are now an unpopulated wasteland. Accessible areas are used a few weeks each year by those who dress up in wealthy landowner costumes and shoot grouse and deer. They use expensive, hand-made shotguns and rifles along with the beloved accompanying accoutrements, driving Range Rovers whenever possible.

Clearances in America’s once Wild West have become a lot of off-limits Federal land that’s been confiscated by the government. Giant ranches, where families are no longer raised, take up a lot of the remaining space. God’s pendulum swings.

In both cases, those who did the clearing ended up being being cleared out.

A swelling horde of Moslems is about to clear the Christians, Jews, alcoholics, homosexuals, profligates, and everyone else they don’t like (which is everyone else) out of the European Continent. They’re coming to this hemisphere, as well. Without God’s help, sauce for the goose is going to be sauce for the gander.

Sad to say, those who cleared are cleared, in turn.
