WATCHING THE BARBARIANS

Without trying to sound too "apocalyptic" about all this, this writer does sometimes wonder how much longer God is going to tolerate a country so arrogant, so murderous, so conscienceless as the United States.  Aside from its agendas of forcing abortion and sodomy on its own citizens and the rest of the world, we have now descended into a level of horror that not even H.G. Wells could have imagined.

Now we are sending "drones" around the world to spy and to kill.  The world has become some kind of massive video game to the creeps and war criminals who run this country, as they merrily engage in push-button death and then laugh and "high-five" themselves every time some poor innocent gets blown to smithereens.

Isn't it odd that the political "left" seems to understand this evil, and the political "right" does not?  This is as true as it is incomprehensible.  But in a world that has lost its religious balance (particularly the Catholics, thanks to the modernism that has bored its way into the vitals of the Church for at least eight generations now) this is to be expected.

To those of us who are patriotically amused by these unmanned drones flying over the world (and the USA, by the way) raining death and destruction, and to those who enjoy modern entertainments that mock and ridicule the past and the noble traditions it represented, I will close with a quote from Hilaire Belloc:

We sit by and watch the Barbarian, we tolerate him; in the long stretches of peace we are not afraid. We are tickled by his irreverence, his comic inversion of our old certitudes and our fixed creeds refreshes us; we laugh. But as we laugh we are watched by large and awful faces from beyond: and on these faces there is no smile.
