A simple man and a simple song says it all.

Well done.

TGeorge: I think you prove my point, as do many of the commenters to this essay, who seem to prefer to either act like barbarians, or eagerly encourage that behavior (as it seems you do), then actually consider the option of being a civilized adult.

Got urine?

I see a lot of similarity in the Democrat party machines efforts to create their “different ” America.

Rome at the time of the barbarians’ arrival was not the noble Republic, and had not been for centuries.

A lot of rot can develop under the veneer of a “civilized culture” … up to and including the transfer of power via assassination, and the societal rot that greased the skids for the barbarians to push a stable civilization into the Dark Ages.

Makes me wish that both the optimates and the barbarians had lost … much as I do Putin and the globalists who currently “oppose” him. (OTOH, I want the people of Ukraine to win and restore their full sovereignty.)

But to borrow your phrasing, Robert … sound familiar?

In our “civilized culture”, we rightly decry racism when it shows up in white sheets, but ignore it when it shows up in royal/academic robes of self-righteous, condescending arrogance that pigeonholes people as “oppressed” and “privileged” on the basis of skin color.

We oppose theocracy and Constitutionally protect against it co-opting our public institutions … except for the Church of Woke and its Climate Change Cult subsidiary, who get to promote their BELIEFS in our public institutions, in the service of the god in their mirror.

And do I have to mention the double-standardized marsupial justice that is currently hopping across the land?

We let all that slide, for much the same reason we rightly reject obscenity … in our social technocracy, we are conditioned from our first day in school that the highest calling of the individual is to be “nice”, “cooperative” and SUBMISSIVE to the “majority will” as expressed by our allegedly-elected leaders.

We put all that, over respect for not only life and liberty, but that of our neighbors.

I think the key question is … how do we find the balance between exercising the righteous anger that respects those rights, and simply wanting to burn our opponents down?

I think that we lost something, when the TV no longer showed the animated Ralph Wolf and Sam Sheepdog going hammer-and-tongs at each other once the morning whistle blew … then treating each other with civility after the evening whistle. While we need to forcefully interdict the rotten “on the clock”, we need to remember they have the same individual rights as we do “off the clock” and respect them,

All that being said, here on Long Island (but not born here), I do get rather appalled at the way obscenities are flung around like manure from the spreader. But as you noted, there comes a time when you are compelled to call the Powers that Be “whitewashed tombs full of dead men’s bones.”

The Democrat party machine has their radical, obedient, different kind of American, loyal soldiers and political zealot warriors. One more radical, obedient and loyal to the cause then the other, there is a theme here. Scroll down and see some of them.

And who paid for / contributed to and installed most all of them in office? And what is their apparent collective goal? Political revolution through Lawfare.

Lawfare: The use of legal action to cause problems for an opponent.

I include this short TikTok video by Matt Kim, from Fulton County GA, that IMO simply lays out what is what related to ALL of these raw political strategy driven indictments. Loyal to another America the radical Left political warriors are all focused on “Fundamentally Changing” America.

Crush, kill, destroy all previous established objective Constitutional law and justice in a desperate push to stop out their most threatening political opponent. And in the pursuit of some significant way shape or form to reshape America in a more “Fair” and “Equitable”, “Progressive” manner. There is a theme here. Throw out the historical “old” and “out of date”, colonial, Judeo / Christian, “oppressive” America and replace it with the “more better” subjective Socialist “new” America.

And they are using their politically empowered positions within government in order to accomplish their agenda. They are choosing to short circuit the process by force and install their flavor of law and justice. Using the system against itself in the short term. This is called an abuse of power and a perversion of your sworn fiduciary responsibilities. This IMO is evil.

Make of that what you will, it’s all ultimately up to you in the long term and in the end. What will you do?

And the Republican party have their soldiers, zealots and political warriors, possibly not as radical and devoted to their cause and their party. But you fight the war with the weapons and soldiers you have. We wait.

How do we fight political warfare in America? Lawyers, Courts and Money!

“I wish politicians would look out for miners

And not just minors on an island somewhere”

In reaction to Epstein Island to the massive child trafficking happening at our borders, I want more swearing at the Elites & leaders in our Society who have driven our ship of State aground.

In the Northeast US, my experience is that many parents have silently revolted against the Catholic Church & have totally withdrawn their support. My Diocese has gone financially bankrupt – but it has been morally bankrupt for a long time with the protection & cover up of the rape of children by priests.

I recommend to Readers of BtB the movie ‘Sound of Freedom’ – the incredible true story of a former government agent turned vigilante who embarks on a dangerous mission to rescue hundreds of children from sex traffickers.

Good luck not swearing after you’ve watched that movie.
In my opinion, We already live in a Barbaric Culture.

Awake Sleepers, who then turned the burners on to a slow simmer ?

Pogo knows.

Richard C. Moeur: I think you miss my point. I reference obscenities as merely a signal illustrating the overall corruption of our culture, not as the only bit of corruption that exists. Everything you add simply underlines my point.

Note the image I open the essay with. This a screen capture from the trailer for a Netflix series that celebrates the barbarians that sacked and pillaged Rome. They are made the heroes, and the Romans and its much more civilized culture are the bad guys. Netflix and this series demands we honor illiterate savages with tattoos who like to kill and rape, not the law-givers who made Europe a stable civilization for more than five hundred years.

Sound familiar?

I was taught and trained to never say anything in print, voice, or any other communication that I didn’t want opposing counsel repeating back to me in open court. I still try to live by this, but it’s so out of step with the prevailing culture that it’s been misconstrued as “cowardice”. And I don’t have an answer for a culture that rewards the very worst, but I sure don’t like where it’s going. But the profanity is nearly the least of the problems.

And so there must be cursing in all forms of communication in order that those forced rules of civilization and proper etiquette, behavior and intelligent manner of communicating is reconciled, and “equity”, “social justice” and “fairness” can reign.

He was right.
