ESSAY 8
THE "SYMBOL = REALITY" MYTH
Why should we have laws that protect ducks
more than human beings?
(U S Treasury Secretary Lloyd Bentsen)
One of the greatest mistakes the neo-left makes is the
confusion of symbol with reality.
For instance, the eagle is the national symbol. The
eagle has been declared to be a sacred American bird-god to
be worshiped by the people. Even the eagle egg, whether or
not it is fertilized, is protected by law! Keep in mind
that the eagle is a SYMBOL of America, that is, it repre-
sents American people.
But certain American people are not protected by law.
Fertilized human eggs are not protected by law. In fact,
human beings are not protected until they are born, and some
not even then. Newborn Americans are being killed if they
are perceived as being "defective."
The US House of Representatives voted 312 to 120 for a
constitutional amendment banning desecration of the United
States flag. An amendment would overturn two Supreme Court
decisions in 1989 and 1990 in favor of free speech that
allowed flag desecration. Most of us are upset when "Old
Glory" is mistreated.
However, the national flag is a SYMBOL of the American
people. How can we make laws protecting symbols while the
reality it represents is abused? PEOPLE ARE MORE IMPORTANT
THAN THEIR SYMBOLS.
Even though the SYMBOLS of American people are protect-
ed by law, REAL PEOPLE can be murdered! Medical science
has demonstrated that unborn human beings experience pain,
and most abortion techniques cause excruciating pain to the
little person in the womb or birth canal. The child is
tortured to death in the womb environment. The most danger-
ous part of our environment is not the outside world. The
most dangerous environment is the human womb--31,000,000
people have been murdered there since 1973!
We have stood by and watched a generation of Americans
miseducated. Graduates of our government schools have been
cheated. They have been indoctrinated with alien values.
They have not been disciplined and loved. They have not been
taught the basics of math, English, social studies, science
and word-building (spelling and vocabulary). History has
degenerated into fiction. Literature has been censored.
Judeo-Christian metaphysics has been replaced by atheistic
metaphysics. Consequently, immoral and unethical values
have rushed to fill the void in their vulnerable young
minds. We have actually paid people to abuse our children!
There is a serious mistake in American thinking. In
logic, it is called the fallacy of misplaced concretion--
attributing reality to an idea. The neo-left has made this
serious mistake in logic and we are suffering for it!
