ex cathedra: A Democratic America

A Democratic America

What if the goals and values of the Democrats were to become the laws and policies of the land, if there were no opposition party?

What would be some of the New Democratic America's governmental characteristics, where the Seven Spokes of the Liberal Faith were translated right into law? Where multiculturalism, feminism, redistribution were the foundations of the country? Where environmentalism's agenda was unchallenged? Where the Living Constitution was made an interpretive rule.

universal single-payer health insurance
hate speech laws
restrictions on talk radio
affirmative action in all sectors of life
higher taxes on everything
all non-governmental guns would be illegal
illegal immigrants would be given amnesty
illegal immigration would soar
foreign policy would (continue to) be an incoherent mess
gay marriage would be universal
polygamy would eventually be legalized
the Electoral College would be shut down
voting would be unrestricted and uncontrolled
death penalty would be abolished

Oh, yeah, and the Equal Rights For Women amendment would be part of the Constitution, and probably amendments guaranteeing abortion and gay marriage, etc.

These are just off the top of my head. Anything salient I missed?

Toward Our Future

What the sons of Europa need is a new religion: one that is as tribal, portable and survivalist as Judaism, as masculine, terrestrial and tough as Islam and as intellectually and aesthetically creative as Christianity...with a dose of the unflinching realism of the ancestral ways of the Greeks and Romans, Germans and Celts and Slavs..And for the larger Indo-European frame, something of the Indian capacity to combine an ultimate and philosophical realization of The One with a robustly mytho-poetic religion on-the-ground. Oh, and some of the psychological acumen of Buddhism.

Liberalism's Basic Flaw

Liberals believe that the chief role of the State is to force everyone to be equal, (ie, take vengeance on the successful). So when they are confronted with any group that they deem less well off than themselves, they are morally disarmed, completely and utterly. Any group that can achieve Victim Status is on their way to power and the (White) liberal's only job is to give them what they want, no matter how much that damages him. And nothing may ever be expected, much less demanded, of them in return. It's a recipe for suicide: no other outcome is possible.
