Op-ed Submission: Convoluted Commander and Congressional Chaos under the Loupe
How rare and valuable a diamond is, is judged by the discipline of the Four C’s; cut, color, clarity, and carat. How rare and valuable a nation is has at least four qualities as well. Each aspect of the unity that rises above all other nations is formed by ‘reason.’ You see folks; ‘reason’ is the single-most quality that separates us humans from the rest of inert and living organisms and gives us dominion over the Earth. Consider a rock, (diamond) a plant, an animal, and a human as the sequence of atomically assembled forms. Only we have ‘reason’ and that element transcends all our creations. Every aspect of man’s accomplishment starts with reason. Thus, reason can be defined as the only pure God-given mystery of our existence as different from the, absents of reason, namely evil.
Yes, humans do evil, and many equate evil acts as a result of the ability to manipulate events upon thinking; to persuade others to follow their ‘thinking.’ A dictionary may define it as a system of orderly thought, no matter the evil consequence. However, the unique gift, reasoning, from God to only humans, as contrasting from all other forms including logical argument, is the highest definition I will honor.
Reason, is a noun. To define this noun as a quality as the unique gift to mankind, and not given to anything else on earth, is to understand all lesser things that come after. Once the quality, ‘reason,’ is understood, as an ‘element’ akin to any in the Atomic Chart, the use of the word, reason, and reasoning will be the crucible from which all solutions to human error will be forged.
As in a pure diamond, it is this rare unique human gift of reason that has no inclusions to detract from its value. However, man has given many definitions to reasonableness. One can name synonymous adjectives or a dozen mental exercises of pseudo-reasoning, but reason derived from God’s gift is Mans Good Law.
Inclusions are imperfections in a diamond and inclusions are false-reason in humans.
One outstanding inclusion is titled, “Chosen People.” The first thought may be the children of Israel. On the other hand, it may be the Chosen of Islam. Infidels being the inclusions. However, given a little investigation, as you read this, there are fifty-four groups claiming chosen people status. Is this number too high or is there 540 listed and growing. This count, indeed any numeral of choosiness, is an inclusion. Are we starting to see the imperfections fellow citizens?
While defenders of the US Constitution are awakening to the attack upon it from our ‘Domestic’ enemies, foreign enemies are enjoying our dilemma. This brings confusion to all other nations since we cannot see ourselves. How can they see us? We are blinded by the chaos to pick up the spoils of political victory centered in the US Treasury. Just like a Piñata, penetrated and dumping the candy attracts children. Is it reasonable to pay off political and opportunity-bound blackmailers? Does,‘To the Victor Goes the Spoils,” allow false-reason to cancel the Oath of Office? Is it reasonable for producers to fill the Treasury and non-producers to spend future un-deposited funds?
We are at war. What is the reason for the war? Can man assemble and use the Gift of God’s Reason to answer why the United States of America perpetuates the War in Afghanistan? Is the enemy named? Until it is named, we cannot unconditionally defeat it. Does the enemy claim ‘Chosen People” status? Have the nations allied to defeat the enemy know the enemy? Thinkaboutit: our un-resolved confusion is the enemy’s victory.
Getting closer to home is one correction our founding fathers forgot to add in reasoning the “Separation of Powers” as formed in our Constitution. Having used the imperfections of European history as a lesson, including the tyranny of Royal Courts, they erred in allowing the US Senate to have NO TERM LIMITS. Thus, we have a ROYAL COURT. The control of the ‘Separated triumvirate’ by a Mutual Blackmail Society, formally the US Democratic Political Party: a government within a government breads tyranny. Those that gave the “pledge of life, fortune and sacred honor,” were not perfect, however what we are learning that each day exposes the false reasoning of an adolescent Communist, President Barrack Hussein Obama. As US Senator Arlen Specter might say, as he did in his Clinton impeachment vote, quoting “Scottish Law”…”Unproven!!!”
Where do we find these clowns?
