“The future and success of America is not in this Constitution, but in the laws of God upon which this Constitution is founded” (James Madison).
A garbage dump is a stinking place. It’s filthy; it attracts rats and other dangerous vermin, and it’s not a place any sensible human being would want to live. Most cities try to isolate their garbage dumps away from the populace to protect the people from the odors, parasites, and other disease-carrying bacteria that can indeed be life-threatening.
But what would happen if a city didn’t do that? If it didn’t isolate its garbage and let people continually add to it with no attempt at clean up or seclusion? This was common in Middle Ages Europe. Pigs and dogs especially were allowed to roam free to feed on the refuse, and not surprisingly, human disease was rampant, and life spans were short. The average life span in France in 1800—considered the most “civilized” European nation—was less than 35 years.
If the garbage dump isn’t isolated, people will add to it, and it will spread. Eventually, if never contained, it will overspread neighborhood after neighborhood and cause untold damage. A forest will do the same thing; garbage and detritus seem to have a life of their own, and that life compels them to extend as far as their tentacles can reach.
In the condo complex in which I live, there is a long, verdant area bordering the parking lot with trees, shrubs, bushes, etc., which is actually quite attractive. But this is Thailand. It’s humid and rains a lot, i.e., a perfect breeding ground for flora and fauna. About a year ago, the condo management had the shrubbery and detritus cut back substantially, almost to nothing. Within six months, they were having to do it again. That’s the way of the forest; you prune the undergrowth, or it overwhelms everything and becomes quite hazardous. Only stupid Leftist politicians in California seem not to know this, and they paid a serious price for their stupidity a few months ago.
My point here should be fairly obvious and commonsensical: debris, if left uncontrolled and not isolated, spreads. It can diffuse very rapidly and damage life, limbs, and property if wise people don’t recognize its dangers and do something about it.
Folks, this is as true for human garbage—I mean here decadent, degenerate, base human beings—as it is for coke cans and forest underbrush. If human debris and decadence are not controlled in a society, it will spread every bit as rapidly as physical garbage and the rats it breeds and will do incalculable harm. And just like the physical garbage and the forest and underbrush will eventually overrun everything in their path, human garbage will do the same thing.
Garbage and detritus must be contained. Every normal, non-California-minded human being knows that. That same principle applies to human debris as well.
I hate to sound ugly and call humans—every one of whom was created in the image of God—“garbage,” but I’m a historian, and it’s just a simple fact of history that every society on earth has had it human rubbish, its riffraff, its bottom dwellers, its refuse. That’s just a sad fact that cannot be denied, and we ignore it to our own peril. Decent human beings would really like to help everybody, but there is just that element in every society, and there always has been, that is either totally beyond help or simply doesn’t want help. They like being garbage. That’s the nature of detritus and trash. It is what it is, and it can’t be anything else. If not isolated, it will attract others of its species, disperse and increase, and become a serious health—and worse in humans—moral danger to others.
That is what the Left, the Democratic Party, is producing in America today. It is exalting and glorifying human garbage, letting it spread, calling it “normal,” and berating those who condemn it as “weird” and “Nazis.” And, not surprisingly, the garbage pile in America is growing larger and larger and larger and spreading into every area of society, including, and horrifyingly, into government, that very entity that exists to “secure our rights” against the very garbage that now stinks up the halls of Congress and state governments. Garbage doesn’t exist only on streets.
America’s governments are now as full of human litter as every other element of our society. Decent people are watching helplessly as the trash pile grows and spreads and overruns much of our society—and we simply don’t know what to do about it.
The Madison quote at the beginning of this article tells us what our Founders intended our country to be and the only way for America to be healthy and successful: a nation not founded on a piece of paper but upon the eternal laws of God. He said even the Constitution was underpinned by those laws. Thus, in actuality, any law passed in America that violates the laws of God is “unconstitutional.” But, of course, the Left rejects God and the Judeo-Christian moral code upon which America and our Constitution were founded.
So, as a result, it is not the least bit surprising to anyone who knows the first thing about history, reason, science, truth, human nature, and godly morality that the human garbage, the flotsam, and jetsam that live by the Left’s licentious moral code, is disseminating throughout America faster than we can build a wall against it. Half of Americans—at least—have rejected the only thing that CAN stop the spread of the filth—the eternal, universal laws of God.
For most of our history, Americans kept their human garbage isolated and controlled. But then, we opened the closets and let them out. And now, they are spreading irrepressibly.
And we have no answer for it.
