• Blue-State Philosophy Rears Its Ugly Head in Sports

  The French Sensibility

  
  

  And the Chinese Sensibility, and the North Korean Sensibility etc…

  
  

   

  
  

  In a shocking video at Little Green Footballs, France opens fire on a crowd of unarmed and calm Ivory Coast civilians – men, women, possibly children, with a likely wink and nod from the UN. Watch the video at the link above (warning, strongly graphic).

  
  

   

  
  

  After watching the video of Tiananmen II, read below exactly why we never want to lose the values which have built us and other historically safe and prosperous societies which value human life and preserve the innocent, and how we can stop the slide towards the ideas which give rise to the insanity seen in the video above.

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

  

  
  

   

  
  

  Of course one of the events about which I’m writing today occurred in a red state, that is, the South Carolina and Clemson football game this afternoon where a fight broke out on the field twice. Before that was the now-infamous NBA game between the Indiana Pacers and the Detroit Pistons where players charged the stands, making children cry, women scream and causing one elderly person to be trampled in the mêlée. That game had to finally be called off. Before that we saw last season’s Texas Rangers baseball game where disgruntled players charged the stands and one tossed a metal chair into the crowd, severely lacerating one woman’s face and breaking her nose. But what I’m referring to here in the header above is a way of looking at things, a philosophy, which has its roots in the values taught and dearly held on to more so by those same people who dominated the counties and the states we call “blue”, though also held elsewhere. It is that “blue” ideology which elicits and really in the end permits social breakdown. And it is that same way of seeing things which has been the cornerstone of the American public education system, dominated by the values of Liberalism for quite some time. So it should be no surprise when the ideas tought the young should be carried out by those children once they reach adulthood. That same Liberalism now controls many boardrooms of companies too corrupted to offer their part in maintaining the social moral guidence of years past. This creates yet another hole in the net of civility upon which we all depend for security and growth. And we have seen the fruits of such corruption in an ever-enlarging circle of misbehaviors and things which would have been unthinkable a generation before. All warning signs of more to come if we do not change our course. There is no doubt civil behavior has changed in the past few decades to provide all of us these provocative symptoms. That “change” as always, is ultimately in how people think.

  
  

   

  
  

  The blue-state philosophy, or more exactly the philosophy of Liberalism is a permissive belief system geared toward accepting the rule of the tyrannical and arbitrary among fellow materialists, with a strong sense of human devaluation and almost a fatalistic hunger for wealth and power as the only things one can truly hold on to in one’s short and futile existence – before he returns to the earth to await discovery perhaps one day by the archeologist’s spade.

  
  

   

  
  

  In a generation of relativistic thinkers, or better put in most cases, reactioneers, truly all is vanity.

  
  

   

  
  

  If our core philosophies and the core philosophies we allow our teachers to teach our children don’t change we will soon find ourselves without the faintest vestige of civility and the protections it has hitherto afforded.

  
  

   

  
  

  Peace, goodwill toward men. It is a heritage for those who humbly respect that which is higher than them, their Creator, and therefore the rules which govern how one man should behave towards another. When we run to this truth, we glean peace for our posterity. And having peace, they will have prosperity, but truly no just or lasting prosperity will ever come where there is not first peace, as history has been our guide.

  
  

   

  
  

  Such travesties in the sports arena are nothing new in most parts of the world however. That same world which also would still be plowing with oxen and sending couriers instead of e-mails, were it not for the great foundation of opportunities the American tradition has created, has its own traditions of tyranny, violence and poverty. And sports riots. When the rest of the world calls on the United States to be “more like them”, we should take pause this week and think about just what that really means.
