Given the sheer volume of bizarre cultural shifts just in
the last few weeks, it’s time for another “if I were the devil” column.
If I were Beelzebub, I’d work to destroy Western
civilization because its chief religions, Christianity and Judaism, have a timeless
book that reminds people of my existence. I’m most effective when working in
the dark.
To this end, I’m working to do away with institutions that
are in the way of my goal to destroy humanity. These pesky confederations
include churches, observant temples, private groups and governments that
support so-called traditional values such as honor, fidelity in marriage,
strong families, personal responsibility, civic pride, charity and patriotism.
When these things are compromised, I move on to the game
board’s next square – economic freedom, which I cannot abide and which cannot
thrive without the virtues imparted by those irritating groups just mentioned. For
a look at one of my greatest successes, take a walk through what used to be
Detroit.
Once free enterprise is broken to the saddle of the state, I
can throttle freedom of speech, religion and association, using some of the giant
corporations spawned in the unprecedented liberty created by America’s system
of constitutional rights, including private property.
In fact, I used some of those firms just the other day to
induce the Boy Scouts of America to commit suicide, one of my prized outcomes. Under corporate donor pressure, the Scout
leadership threw aside the common-sense rule preventing open expression of
homosexuality. This pretty much did the trick in Canada.
It may take a few
years, but the Scouts in the U.S. are finished, believe me. If you like what
you see in the inner cities among fatherless boys, you’ll thank me later.
For a look at where else I want to take the United States,
let’s go to Great Britain, where much of America’s loathsome attachment to Christianity
and individual liberty was birthed. Once-proud England is, thanks to my touch,
a sea of churning resentments, entitlements, ethnic upheaval, crime and moral
depravity. I hate to brag, but this is some of my best work.
