Buried in a rather lengthy essay explaining why 'birthers' are on the wrong track looking for or demanding the birth certificate, Jerome Corsi, PhD, hit on a theme that a lot of us have been looking at and thinking about recently.
Basically it is summarized in these paragraphs:
So without assuming my personal endosement of either Front Page Magazine or Dr. Corsi, you can assume that what he is saying here is resonating with a lot of people, including me.
Do you think he is right? Is there an academic assault on American culture as we have known it? And an attempt to tear it down so that Hegelian-Marxism can replace it?
Summation of Hegelian-Marxism:
"...the State 'has the supreme right against the individual, whose supreme duty is to be a member of the State... for the right of the world spirit is above all special privileges.'" Attributed to Georg Hegel.
Basically it is summarized in these paragraphs:
Even as Wilson and Roosevelt began implementing German philosophy in American government with disastrous results including the decimation of growing American industries and a bizarre foreign policy focused on global institutions rather than American interests Europeans abroad began to plan the next step of the American takeover. Members of the Frankfurt School, German philosophers who recognized that class conflict would not take place openly, traveled to the United States, where they proceeded to agitate for an even more extreme version of German Hegelian-Marxism.
Frankfurt School philosophers believed that Marxism had failed to produce widespread transnational class uprisings because societies were already too ensconced in a culture of capitalism. Culture and society themselves had to be destroyed in order to make way for a new brand of equality. And the first step toward such a revolution was destruction of traditional logic, destruction of traditional mores, and destruction of Americas homegrown culture. Men like Herbert Marcuse led the charge here, telling members of President Obamas generation to make love, not war, and to fight the powers that be. America was cruel, and only by indoctrinating Americans in a new way of thinking could that cruelty be fought.
The philosophy of the Frankfurt School, making an alliance with trendy French post modernism, spread like wildfire through the academic world. Traditional history courses were torn down in favor of queer studies, black studies, Asian studies, womens studies; language was deconstructed in order to remove its capitalistic foundations; traditional sexual mores were torn asunder in the name of tolerance.
