Marriage issue: Time for pitchforks and torches

By Scott Lively

Few have noticed, but while Americans have been absorbed with such ponderous issues as the Kardashians’ latest costume change, our nations leaders have shifted us quietly from a republic toward an empire. The middle class is fading fast, and in its place is a rising neo-feudalism.

The problem is much broader and deeper than Obama’s “imperial presidency”: The entire elite class has used the crisis-culture of his reign to grossly enrich themselves while re-imposing (though still in its infancy) a form of serfdom on the common people that hasn’t been seen in the Western world for centuries.

The grass roots on the left decries Citizens United and predatory corporatism generally. The grass roots on the right decries the annulment of popular votes on marriage by activist federal judges, but both problems originate with the 1 percent. The elites keep those of us in the grass-roots strata divided and distracted with politically polarizing social issues while they invent new systems for enslaving us – funded from the public treasury.

What the elites most fear is authentic populism, which began to emerge a few years ago with the tea party, joined shortly thereafter by Occupy Wall Street – but almost immediately the two movements began to be co-opted and polarized by the establishment Republicans and Democrats respectively (the two faces of the 1-percent coin).

There is still some life in both movements, but they never bridged the gap into a single populist mob capable of wresting power from the elite. For this I blame the grass-roots left more than the grass-roots right. For every knucklehead conservative who defends planet-killer Monsanto Corporation solely because conservatives are supposed to be “pro-business,” there are two or three looney-lefties supporting the dismantling of the natural family because liberals are supposed to favor so-called “gay rights.”

Hey, conservatives! Can’t you see the difference between healthy capitalism and crony corporatism?

Hey, liberals! Can’t you see that the elites wouldn’t so zealously implement anti-family Cultural Marxism if it didn’t serve their interests and not yours? Don’t you remember that Lenin called people like you “useful idiots”?

Hey, everybody! Can’t we stop fighting each other for just long enough to stop the puppet-masters from stealing America out from under us?

The battle today is for marriage, the core of the natural family. Every human being on this planet will be harmed if the elites are allowed to destroy it by mutation. It is no different than Monsanto destroying natural foods or seeds by mutating their DNA, or Big Pharma destroying bodies by flooding the health industry with artificial, often poisonous “remedies.” Our common paradigm in the grass roots for guiding society should be natural-vs.-artificial across the board, including natural marriage and family, rejecting the counterfeit alternatives to the self-evident design of our ecology – and our physiology.

The natural family is the ecosystem of humanity! It must be preserved at all costs.

How? By a populist uprising! The elites need to see the angry mob – liberals and conservatives together – surging through the streets, pitchforks and torches held aloft, ready to tear down Frankenstein’s castle with their bare hands if need be. For Christians it’s Jesus and the moneychangers time! Making a whip of cords like He did with His own hands, and letting these arrogant puppet-masters know we mean to use it (metaphorically speaking).

The only real pro-family victory we’ve seen in recent years is the repeal of the “sexual orientation” anti-discrimination ordinance passed by the City of Springfield, Missouri. The reason we won is because the conservatives got angry and stopped playing “nice.”

I take credit for stirring up the conservatives in Springfield and laying the foundation for eventual victory (though I had no part in the actual repeal process). My flyer accurately labeled the proposed law a “Gay Fascism Bill” because that’s what these ordinances always foster. And when local citizens were hand wringing about making the correct arguments during the public comment phase of the process, I told them “You Can’t Win This With Logic and Reason! They’ve Already Decided to Pass It and the Public Comment is All For Show! (Because the ‘gays’ never make their move till they know they have the votes).”

The conservatives did get angry, and they eventually repealed the ordinance.

The bottom line is this: The elitists always believe they’re smarter, wiser and better than you. They play the game of democracy to keep the peace, but they always follow their own agenda to the fullest extent the people will allow by their complacency.

The only way to deter the elites is with the threat of the mob. They need to see the pitchforks and torches to know they’ve gone too far and need to back down.

That’s where we are today in America. The elites want to eliminate the natural family to create a better class of serfs: state-bred children for the factories and the battlefield – easier to control, dulled by drugs and sexual promiscuity … and bread and circuses.

But despite their money and power, they’re only 1 percent. They can only succeed if we let them.
