"He has studied the Western postmodern mind and has devised a strategy based on its unholy trinity of multiculturalism, moral equivalence and cultural relativism."
I saw this statement while reading an article titled "Nuclear Iran?" by Victor Davis Hanson. It first caught my attention because of the phrase "western postmodern mind". Mainly because I'm not sure i fully grasp the definition of the word 'postmodern', but yet I feel some connection to it. Then the rest of the sentence "unholy trinity of multiculturalism, moral equivalence and cultural relativism" put to words something I've thought about quite often but didn't know how to say.
It doesn't seem that multiculturalism is helping our great nation a bit. Many will attempt to say that we must accept all cultures in this country because that's what this country was built on. That is no doubt a grave misunderstanding. The people that came to this country and made it great did not come here and say "my culture is great and I will continue living it in this country." They came to this country to live free of the ties and burdens set on them by their own countries. They came and assimilated to the culture of this new nation. A culture that singled no one people out but included all who would take hold of it. They came and learned a new language and new laws and customs. They came with the thought of being a part of a new nation where they were free to worship, teach, speak and to pursue their dreams without fear of a government or dictatorship that would keep them from a better life.
This nation is great because it leaves open the door for any individual to excel and create and invent without fears of retribution or domination or control by the government. This nation encourages self-reliance and independence. You can be as great as you want. If you try hard enough you can be a professional athlete making millions of dollars or you can create a new software and become one of the wealthiest people in the world. This country is great because it rewards hard work and personal effort and the government doesn't take your reward and distribute it where it pleases.
This great nation has made mistakes and, for the most part, I think it recognizes them and attempts to correct them. I am sure that being such a young nation that there will be other mistakes made. But I am equally as sure that, as long as this nation recognizes independent thoughts and ideas and the rewards continue to be worth the effort, that there will be great people who grow up here or come from foreign lands to pursue their dreams, that will continue to make this a great nation.
We must get over this idea that we have to accomadate every nationality that crosses our borders looking for a new life. We must get beyond multiculturalism, moral equivalance and moral relavance and see this nation as ONE NATION with one goal to become one people.
I'm sure I haven't said everything I wanted to say about all of this, but there will be more to come.

Hypa-civilized people, or "smart idots" simply cut clean with their ability to spin what is universally understood, (right from wrong, positive energy vs negative energy) and make it into what it needs to be to make happen what is most expedient for them.
“Moral Relevance” simply put is “making it RIGHT, in your own head.” We as human beings do that so we can “live with ourselves.” That, with a little help from, like in the past, going to church, to have sins forgiven is a must for us to “make it right.” Moral Relevance is BEYONDPUKE. Being a just and “moral” person is something, that unless it is deterred from thought, is within us all..Nature LY speaking
These elitists, its genesis in the 60's. are grown children, living as adults, still like a child, with contempt for authority, thanks for the enabling their parents provided now passed on to their children, who now rule....their parents, teachers, etc.
