from the Ground Up \u2013 Part 2"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><a href=\"https:\/\/orionscoldfire.com\/index.php\/2018\/11\/23\/rebuilding-from-the-ground-up-part-1\/\">Rebuilding from the Ground Up \u2013 Part 1<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As the <a href=\"https:\/\/orionscoldfire.com\/index.php\/2018\/09\/25\/latest-site-poll\/\">results of one of my recent website polls<\/a> reminded me, opinions differ about what the future will bring for our country and world.\u00a0 Some people think that we are irrevocably moving down the path that will put an end to the things that made the United States a great nation.\u00a0 They say that our culture and the freedoms that are built into our Constitution will be swept aside and we will end up in a banana republic that resembles the condition of Brazil.\u00a0 Other people contend that a revolution either more or less violent will achieve a division of the country into a Red State model and a Blue State one.\u00a0 And some believe that we will be able to regroup from our differences and patch things together.<\/p>\n<p>Honestly, I don\u2019t know which, if any, of these scenarios will occur.\u00a0 I\u2019m not even sure anybody actually knows.\u00a0 What I am sure is that the old way of life and the things it stood for are under continual attack from the Progressives.\u00a0 And they are succeeding to a great extent in destroying the culture that has existed in this country and made it great.\u00a0 They are eliminating all the concepts and behaviors from American life.\u00a0 The three biggest weapons in this effort are the entertainment industry, the schools and the corporate America.\u00a0 They are using these forces to shape the images that children and young adults see all around them and convince them that it is the only acceptable choice.\u00a0 By subtle and not so subtle imagery they are showing children how they must think about sex roles and even the definition of men and women.\u00a0 They are preaching the globalist doctrine that says that national identity and patriotism are social constructs that have no place in the modern world and thinking otherwise is a hate crime.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The first thing that needs to be done is locating and preserving all the remnants from the earlier time.<\/strong>\u00a0 Books, movies, pictures and study aids that can be used to show the younger people what used to be the normal world need to be identified and made available to families to allow them to undo some of the damage.\u00a0 I\u2019m making it a point to review and recommend any books or movies that have value.\u00a0 At some point I intend to put together a curriculum for different age groups that will both inform and entertain.<\/p>\n<p>The next effort will be to organize into local groups to provide support and fellowship for people on the right.\u00a0 These can be anything from hobbies to social events to sports to political activities.\u00a0 It can even extend to religious and educational organizations that provide resources for families who don\u2019t feel they can utilize the existing local groups.\u00a0 Over time it is hoped that these groups can replace the existing institutions that have become debased by the culture at large.\u00a0 I guess it could be hoped that some of these organizations could be reformed but I seriously doubt that will ever happen.<\/p>\n<p>But as I said above, preserving the knowledge of the better times is first.\u00a0 If anyone has a recommendation about a book, music or a movie or some other thing like a website or an on-line course, or even a business that deals in things that need to be preserved then, pass it along.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rebuilding from the Ground Up \u2013 Part
