Charlottesville, truth, and the new cultural revolution
2017-08-15
[American Thinker] Those who control the narrative control the truth. Following Charlottesville, all must understand the broader context of current events ‐ the conservative movement (not to be confused with media-created Alt-Right or white nationalists) desires the restoration of America's founding principles, as documented in the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and Bill of Rights.

The principles of freedom are universal (all men) and are granted by God. Our founding documents enshrined these rights, and were "exceptional" in their development and institutionalization.

There is a counter-movement that seeks America's destruction and the imposition of a new covenant, predicated on the wisdom of man or, more particularly, a select group of men, who seek to manage the affairs of all man.

These two contradictory principles are reflected as liberty and tyranny. Freedom and totalitarianism. Charlottesville was a "shot heard 'round the world" of the opening salvo in the final battle between these two worldviews.

What is remarkable (about our current culture) is the virtue-signaling and moral superiority maintained by those who control the dominant (leftist) narrative. It is not possible, as President Trump asserted, that "all parties" are to blame for the violence perpetrated at the ill-named "Unite The Right" event in Charlottesville. The left controls the narrative and has a lock on what is determined to be "hate."
