(Regarding the 66th anniversary of D-Day, June 6, 2010 🙂
On June 6, the 66th anniversary of D-Day – we pay tribute to the Allied Forces who were instrumental in liberating Europe from Nazi oppression. It was a sacrificial effort in which many gave up their lives so that the rest of us could live ours in freedom. We might have expected that such ultimate selflessness might have conferred upon our societies the wisdom to truly value life and liberty.
Unfortunately, in the years following World War II, the West turned its back on its hard-won freedom and voluntarily succumbed to a new dictatorship of relativism that is no less evil than the fascism that preceded it. This new tyranny recognises nothing as being definitive.
We have seen the contemporary results – nihilistic yet impeccably democratic legislation that repudiates life itself!
I am thinking here of existing, enacted and pending articles of legislation that legalise various drugs, prostitution, contraception, homosexuality, same-sex marriage, abortion, euthanasia, and genetic manipulation.
On the 66th anniversary of D- Day, the western world cries for liberation from the tyranny of modernity being imposed by socialist governments as they seek new and ingenious ways of undermining morality and embracing nihilism. Is this the path we wish to traverse? Is it not time for us all to re-examine the assumptions that we permit to serve as the foundation of our own individual lives?
