Following the example of the bloodthirsty
radicals of the French Revolution who despised religion, American secular
progressives (Democrats) have embraced the secular virtues of Liberty,
Equality, and Fraternity at the expense of the theological virtues of Faith,
Hope, and Charity. As in France, those who don’t go along with the
progressive agenda must be punished . . .
Liberty, Equality and Fraternity: Those Three Impostors
.
. . Echoing the anthems of the French Revolution, the progressives in America
have embraced Liberty, Equality and Fraternity as the only virtues.
Consequently
Liberty now means every man must be allowed to do whatever he pleases as
long as he harms no one. What everyone misses is that this is the motto of the
Satanists: “Do as you please, but harm none.”
The obsession with Equality (marriage equality, income equality) has
been become an aggressive attack on any person who in any way might just
possibly be racist, homophobic, misogynistic or just plan unkind in any
conceivable way. Such individuals must be isolated, ostracized, punished and
persecuted by the crowd howling for equality. Equality has become, as it was in
the French Revolution, not just a mob rule, but a mob rampage.
Fraternity is not the fond embrace of one’s fellow man,
but an indolent acceptance of every other person without discernment of
character or recognition of accomplishment. For the modern progressive
“Fraternity” is an obliteration of personality, a dumbing down of individual
ideas and a leveling of the population so that everyone becomes a cipher, a
comrade, a drone and a drudge. . .
The
theological virtues, on the other hand, balance and empower the lesser virtues
of Liberty, Equality and Fraternity. Liberty is balanced by Faith for
Faith is the implicit trust and relationship with the Other while Liberty is
the individualistic assertion of oneself. Hope inspires Equality because
Hope longs for a future fulfillment of the self instead of grasping at a
superficial equality that never satisfies. Charity balances the longing
for Fraternity by replacing a bland, self-serving comradeship with bold,
self-sacrificial love.
The
conservative sees what is good in Liberty, Equality and Fraternity, but sees
within these secular virtues a deeper and more original good. The theological
virtues are supernatural gifts that inspire and empower not the Liberty,
Equality and Fraternity of revolution, but the true Freedom that comes from
Faith, the Fulfillment of the Individual and the Fire of Divine Love that
purifies and transforms both the human soul and human society.
