OPINION:
Truth is not determined by a majority vote, the feelings of ignorant people, the media, angry mobs, cloistered professors, weak and corrupt politicians, the rich and powerful, or military victory. God determines — and is — truth. And following God, former Vice President John C. Calhoun taught that liberty is how God rewards goodness and intelligence.
Now, the “indivisible” union is falling apart. Marxist mobs, deluded and inflamed by the same false egalitarian philosophy that inspired Lincoln, now rage like Tolkien’s Orcs across the land. Memorial statues of great and noble men — such as the world’s greatest explorer (Columbus), America’s greatest general (Lee) and America’s greatest statesman and philosopher (Calhoun) — are coming down because, in the name of equality, fools have given the ignorant, lazy and depraved unearned and undeserved freedom. Ironically, Calhoun’s vandal enemies are now proving Calhoun right. But true America and the West will live on, following Calhoun.
