The Threat of Ideology

Calling that common desire to be free and left alone an "ideology" is equally absurd and deceitful as calling atheism a "religion"

The Threat of Ideology

The ideology of American “Liberalism” threatens the well-being of our nation. Under the pretext of “improving” the social fabric of the country, it wrecks, one by one, the cornerstones of our freedom and prosperity. Not unlike in former Soviet Union and its satellites, it attempts to replace free markets, competition, and individual self-reliance with governmental control of the economy, central planning, and redistribution of income. Predictions of allegedly beneficial effects of that “Liberal” power grab on the American society are not that different from notoriously false promises of a socialistic order. And not surprisingly so.

What was, perhaps, the most threatening aspect of socialism was the large number of otherwise normal individuals who submitted themselves almost unconditionally to the ideology they professed. It was that ideological individual submissiveness, referred by some to as a mental disease, that turned many variations of socialist ideology into advocates of mass-murder machines. Stalin (a devout of Marxism-socialism), Hitler (a devout of national socialism) and Mao Zedong (a devout of communism) would not be able to commit their heinous, ideologically-motivated, genocidal crimes if it weren't for tens of millions of submissive followers that those tyrants had.

American “Liberalism” belongs the same dangerous category as socialism. It poses a threat to free society not just because it attempts to restrict and, oftentimes, eliminate individual liberties in order to “liberate” the less successful from the results of their actions and behavioral patterns, but mainly because millions of American “Liberals” worship the ideology and accept its values as over-riding moral standards. It matters to them not that those values, when imposed on the entire nation, result in absurdities and social pathologies, pre-emption of fruits of work of the productive individuals, and cancerous growth of oppressive government. It matters to them not that they are rewarding failure and punishing success on a large scale. It matters to them not, that they are slowly but steadily wrecking our once most free and most accomplished nation and pushing it onto the path of economic downturn. The only thing, it seems, that matters to them is that they are making “progress” in implementation of their “Liberal” ideas. And this ideological submissiveness makes them a real threat to our Republic.

The majority of Americans may have their strong religious believes, but they are, by and large, ideology-free. They do not believe that ideology is a solution of the socio-economic problems that they deal with. They do not believe in submitting their natural sense of right and wrong to unproven ideological constrains. What they do believe are their inalienable rights to life, liberty, and property, and, perhaps, the most fundamental right to be left alone when they pursue their happiness as they see it fit. Their prevailingly common desire to be free from governmental intrusion is a common denominator of their attachments to their individual rights confirmed by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. And that desire is the single most basic reason why they resist the sustained attempts by “Liberal” elite and its collaborators to impose the ideology on inhabitants of what once was the home of the brave and the land of the free.

Calling that common desire to be free and left alone an “ideology” is equally absurd and deceitful as calling atheism a “religion”, which they are not.

This asymmetry between the ideological Left (that includes American “Liberals”) and anti-ideological non-Left explains why “Liberalism” entrenched itself so deeply in the structures of American political power despite the fact that only one fourth of American voters describe themselves as “Liberal”. The ideology that the “Liberals” submitted themselves to unites them as the prevailing political force that is maneuvering the entire nation into a neo-socialistic trap. That force is intrinsically assertive and is not interested in any coexistence or bipartisanship with the majority that resists “Liberal” march towards the monopoly of power. And every success the “Liberals” achieve in this march to power motivates them to become even more aggressive in their assaults on the American Republic as we know it.

Note. There is an engineered confusion regarding the Left-Right false dichotomy. In particular, fascism (also known as neo-socialism) and national socialism have been falsely classified as the “Right” or “far Right”, as if Mussolini and Hitler were conservative extremists who wanted to preserve the societies that their followers thoroughly remade. The only beneficiaries, it seems, of that engineered confusion are the Left-wing ideologues who, for obvious reasons, try to distance themselves these days from pathological forms of socialism and the disasters that they have caused.

"You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor" is the ninth (respectively the eighth according to the Catholic and Lutheran count[1]) of the Ten Commandments,[2] which are widely understood as moral imperatives by legal scholars, Jewish scholars, Catholic scholars, and Post-Reformation scholars.[3] The book of Exodus describes the Ten Commandments as being spoken by God,[4] inscribed on two stone tablets by the finger of God,[5] broken by Moses, and rewritten on replacements stones by the LORD.[6]



There are six things that the LORD strongly dislikes, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers.

—Proverbs 6:16–19
The command against false testimony is seen as a natural consequence of the command to “love your neighbor as yourself.” This moral prescription flows from the command for holy people to bear witness to their deity. Offenses against the truth express by word or deed a refusal to commit oneself to moral uprightness: they are fundamental infidelities to God and, in this sense, they undermine the foundations of covenant with God





It means you should not lie (tell an untruth) in such a way that it will hurt someone else. The commandment stems from the way in which disputes were settled in Jewish society. If someone was in a dispute, theywere expected to tell the truth to whoever was judging the dispute (usually the priest). If, however, they told a lie (bearing 'false witness' - ie their statement as a witness was untrue) so that the guilty could go free, or, more importantly, the innocent would be blamed, this would breach this commandment.
Nowadays it simply means that we should strive to be honest in all that we do. It does not mean that we should never tell a lie, as occasionally a lie is the necessary lesser of two evils. As an example, in the Second World War, the French Resistance helped save the lives of many Jews and other races by hiding them in cupboards or other concealed places away from the German Nazis. If a Nazi asked if they were hiding anyone, telling the truth would almost certainly mean death for the Jew in a concentration camp when they were found. Lying in this case, therefore, would be perfectly justified. Therefore this commandment only
speaks out against lying when someone else is hurt or betrayed rather than a blanket ban.
