The Actual Source of Truth

 Today at the American Thinker, Richard McDonough offers a rebuttal of sorts on August Harriman's previous article on the philosophy of the Left. For that, see the post below. Harriman, remember, thought that the writings of Frederich Nietzsche undergirded the Left, or at least what the Left believed Nietzsche wrote. But McDonough points in his article entitled Frederich Nietzsche Was Not The Inspiration For The Left:

Harriman is correct that one should not make the mistake of assuming that the entirety of the psychotic Left derives from Marxism. And he may be correct that many of the Western elites may think of themselves as followers of Nietzsche. But if so, it is a bastardized Nietzsche, not the real Nietzsche, who made his “abhorrence” of the Left abundantly clear, writing:
"This overall degeneration of man down to what today appears to the socialist dolts and flatheads as their man of the future—their ideal—this degeneration and diminution of man into the perfect herd animal (… the “free society”), this animalization of man into the dwarf animal of equal rights and claims, is possible, there is no doubt of it. Anyone who has once thought through this possibility to the end no longer knows any nausea than other men, but perhaps also a new task!" - Beyond Good and Evil (para. 203)

It may be true that Nietzsche abhorred Marxism, and in essence was arguing for the rise of what can be thought of as the Platonic ideal of the philosopher-king. But if so, the current so called "elite" still view themselves as being that unbermensch, that philosopher-king who can decide better that you or me what is good for each of us. Meanwhile, the global so called "elite" are perfectly happy to allow the coalition of the Left in this country to tear us apart. At some point, they figure to rein in these grievance mongers, race huslters, trans idiots and the other malcontents, probably with a bullet to the head. That is how the Leftist totalitarians traditonally do things.

The Bible provides the only True way to live, and God defies philosophy and ideology. However one may interpret Plato, Aristotle, Thomas Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche or others, is ultimately a waste of time. Go to the actual source of Truth, the Bible.
