Entry: Gag Order Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/gag_order#30008 Post contents: "How is classical liberalism derived from Christian civilisation, seriously ?" Ever heard of a little Christian concept called Free Will? Didn't the Founders epitomize classical liberalism? Weren't they all raised as Christians, and weren’t most of them in fact Christian Deists? Weren't they following Jesus' example on down the line through Luther and rebelling against the abuses, corruption and debauchery of Europe and its elites? From where does Jefferson’s concept of God-given inalienable rights emerge? Wasn’t, even, Rousseau and the French tradition at war with the corrupt, moneyed aristocracy? In fact, what noteworthy Western intellectuals haven't been inspired by the Christian example? And from whence did liberalism itself emerge? Islamic civilization? Sinic civilization? Hindu civilization? No, Western (Christian) civilization. This should be Civilization 101, and would be, if the State-centered neo-totalitarians hadn’t been waging an ideological war against Christianity since Marx, and distorting (when not stealing the credit outright for) its many accomplishments. Americans and the West are being scammed by anti-Christian Marxists and their left-liberal, Neocon/Neolib intellectual heirs, and have been for decades. It’s not Christianity’s fault there are so many useful idiots warped by lift-liberalism about these days; the Marxists systematically planned it that way, and have been carrying out their plan since.
