Something to save before it's gone

 Here's a most interesting link put out by none other than the blogfather himself, Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit.

At this link you will find another link to a blog that appears to have gotten suppressed.  It might be well to remember that when you hear leftists screech about "censorship".

The blog was called "Armed and Dangerous".  Reynolds links to a post titled "Gramscian damage".   Once you start tracking these ideas, you find a leftist at its root.  The point being is that we are truly in a cultural war that has been going on for decades.  Only now does the left acknowledge the truth of that.  Only when the unwitting targets of such a war finally see it and start to fight back is that fact that this Culture War is recognized for what it is.

Mind you, when Pat Buchanan uttered it at the Republican National Convention in 1992, the political left at that time denied it.  But Pat Buchanan was spot on.  I recall watching that speech on TeeVee back then, and then talking about it the next day with a lady at work.  She called Pat Buchanan a "worm".  I said in reply that I liked the speech.  She withdrew without saying a word.  Maybe she was surprised that someone could agree with the speech.

This has been a long war waged over the generations.  The 18-29 year old group that supports the likes of Mamdami in New York City, weren't even born yet when Buchanan first uttered the phrase "Culture War".  But we see the effects of that culture war, and where it is taking us.  For those of us who haven't been converted to Marxism, it may be time to see the truth for what it is; and to do what we can to reverse it.

The younger generations have no idea of the way things were back before they were born.  For any person can only know about what they come into contact with.   The knowledge of Gramsci is not taught in schools, because I never heard of it until I had already left school with my BS degree.  Therefore, the younger generations may take the current circumstance to be "normal".  But the older generations SHOULD know better, because they lived during a time when things were different.  Alas, many of them do not.  The young get the version of history that the modern left wants them to see.

Then we called them brainwashed, but the younger generation brushes it off.  The young think that they know everything, but that's nothing new.  The young has always thought that way.   I was young once, and I think I know at least that much.  But the young need to broaden their exposure to other views than the ones that have been hammered into their heads from the cradle.

Therefore, the one thing that I will do is to save this essay and make a copy of it somewhere.  At somewhere it will be saved.  Like the monks who saved the works of the ancient Romans, it may be the only thing that might survive the coming holocaust.  Even the memory of once was might be saved.  If this isn't done, then nobody will ever know that such existed.
