How To Save America From Its Enemies
Paul Eidelberg
1 . America is threatened by two enemies: one internal, the other external . America needs a non-governmental organization consisting of the finest minds to formulate and implement a comprehensive strategy to overcome these two enemies .
2 . The internal enemy is the university-bred doctrine of moral relativism also known as multiculturalism . Relativism is demoralizing the American people; it is eroding their heritage, their sense of national pride and purpose . Relativism permeates every level of American education . It infects the news and entertainment media . It influences all three branches of American Government . It therefore corrupts the opinion-makers and policy-makers of the United States . (This same doctrine has emasculated England and Europe . )
3 . America ’s external enemy is Islamic imperialism . This enemy has two power centers: Iran and Saudi Arabia , the former involves Shi’te Islam, the latter Sunni Islam . These two countries control most of the oil flowing through the Persian Gulf —the energy sources on which the American and the world economy largely depends . Petrodollars have built thousands of mosques in the United States and Europe . These mosques propagate ideas and values subversive of civilization: respect for human life and individual freedom as well as humane desire to resolve differences through speech and moral suasion as opposed to force and violence .
4 . We cannot expect the Government of the United States to initiate and pursue the policies required to overcome its internal and external enemies, if only because the Government has been corrupted by moral relativism . Former ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton has said that moral equivalency dominates the State Department . Also, former CIA operative Robert Baer has shown that various one-time high-ranking government officials are on the Saudi payroll via the Carlyle Group’s connection with military-industrial corporations .
5 . For these reasons—which will not be nullified by an Obama administration—a non-governmental institution must be formed to awaken Americans to the awesome dangers confronting them and their country .
6 . Fortunately, America still has the human talent and material resources to form such an organization . Here is what I propose .
7 . A three-day conference should be held in Washington , D . C . A tentative topic for the conference: “Saving America From Its Internal and External Enemies . ” A possible venue: The American Heritage Foundation .
8 . Individual participants should include John Bolton, Newt Gingrich, William Bennett, students of the late Leo Strauss (such as Thomas L . Krannawitter and Will Morrisey ), David Horowitz, Richard Baer, Fouad Ajami, Lee Harris, Brigitte Gabriel, Wafa Sultan, Mark Steyn, Michael Rubin, and physicists like Nathan Aviezer and Gerald Schroeder who have scholarly books on the convergence of science and the Bible .
9 . Organizations sponsoring and or participating in the conference should include the American Heritage Foundation, the American Enterprise Institute, and the Hoover Institute .
10 . Positive Goals of the Conference:
-
a . To restore the political philosophy embedded in the American Declaration of Independence showing its relevance to contemporary America and world affairs—this, with a view to introducing courses on the Declaration throughout American schools and universities .
b To show that the ideas and values of the Declaration are conducive to human decency and human creativity .
c . To raise the level of American politics by means of a pluralistic candidates transparency committee that informs the public of a presidential candidate’s education, experience in public affairs, financial resources, and relation to various organizations .
11 . Informational Goals of the Conference:
-
a. To reveal the history of Arab-Islamic imperialism .
b. To reveal the violent acts of Muslims in various parts of the world .
c. To reveal the anti-American ideas propagated by mosques and other Arab-Islamic organizations in the United States .
12 . Negative Goals of the Conference:
-
a. To refute moral relativism, showing how it contributes to pathological behavior .
b. To show that “Islamism” conduces to mass psychopathy .
c. To design a strategy to overcome Islamic imperialism .
Conference papers should be published separately as well as in book form and in various languages . They should be distributed to opinion-makers and policy-makers . A PR campaign should be launched to maximize distribution to the public at large .
A team of eminent individuals, including former Muslims, should seek a meeting with the President of the United States . Needed is a declaratory statement from the White House that identifies America ’s the internal and external enemies .
Sorry Eidelberg, but a country that invented and supported Fanny Mae, Freddy Mack and all the rest AIG, City BANK, list too long to enter here but this has become America. When over 50% of all Americans have no savings, live from pay check to paycheck. Have multiple credit cards fully loaded don’t speak about enemies from within and without however valid. When Americans were paying at the height of the oil peak less than most of the other world were paying for many years as normal prices They complained more than anyone else in the world. I am not sure there are today values in America worth trying to save or preserve. It’s all about money, greed, status, power and exploitation. America has become the worlds ultimate consumer but her ultimate debtor as well.
Logic would dictate that like water no oil producing nation state should have propitiatory control of those two natural resources. Both are life bloods of all modern and even non modern societies; less than 100 years ago oil producing countries would have been a Casus Beli. Maybe it will in the near future but you can’t look to academia in this case to win the hearts and minds of America from already entrenched norms of behavior and tightness of thinking; when it is used, Thinking does require some discipline. Demagoguery and sophistry rule the day and the air waves. Any ideas not conforming to popular myths will be discarded like old clothes and in America like old wives unless of course one could place an LCD display and a keypad on them.

Next time, just allow the terrorists to blow up the White House while every democrat that Obama chose gets to meet the god they worshiped at the expense of a GOLDEN or WHITE DOME over a barren rock!

re eidelberg’s piece:
the restoration weekend in florida that was covered on atlasshrugs was akin to what you have proposed.
it seems that there needs to be sufficient proponents in the congress to push this.
