It was bad enough when the
only thing the Republican Revolution was doing was half heartedly
making cosmetic changes in charity for beggars currently known as
the welfare system. It was hoped at one time there would be an
end to the forcible taking of the property of some and giving it
to others because they are "suffering." With that it only needed
to be said, it isn't charity with other people's money.
But now, in response to
the "suffering" in Bosnia we are sending in our troops to be
killed. Lets start promoting a new phrase. It isn't compassion
with other people's lives.
Of course it is the lot
in life of soldiers to go where they are sent and do what they
are told to do and only grumble about the pay and the food. But
one would expect a serious and responsive government to limit
their risk to that in the oath, "against all enemies, foreign and
domestic." But here we clearly have a case of surrogate
compassion.
The lives of our citizens
are being subordinated to the suffering of other people. It is a
terrible thing to put at risk the only thing a man has and will
ever have. It is an even more terrible thing to watch the slave
masters who send them out to die to express their own false sense
of compassion.
This is what we have to
expect from a nation that started with simply considering the
labor of people lives to be the property of the government in the
belief it is charity to beggars.
Now we have gone the
final step. We are paying the cost of a false sense of
compassion with the lives of others, our slaves.
As with the oath, that is
not what they agreed to do. They agreed, swore and oath even, to
do exactly what I quoted. But of course they are only soldiers.
For it's Tommy this and Tommy that and throw him out, the bruteIt was not a large step from charity with other people's money to compassion with other people's lives. It simply demonstrates how bankrupt our moral system has become. We do not care about the hours of their lives people spend earning money nor do we care about the lives themselves. Everything, even human life, is the property of society as a whole.
But it's saviour of his country when the guns begin to shoot
