Charlie Chaplain and prophetic irony - Brad Jersak
The greatest speech ever made? Really? Some really inspiring rhetoric and near prophetic analysis by our dear comic. His diagnosis, poignant. His prescription? Uh ...
Also some serious delusion historically: the ultimate triumph of human progressivism? fighting for freedom that produces peace? salvation by science? triumph of the human will in the name of democracy?
Yes ... an amazing mixture of truth, but also the new mantras that continue to produce technological goose-steppers. Lampooning the mustache and uniform of Hitler was supposedly ironic, but the images are not. I don't know how much the creator of the video even realizes how much of it demonstrates how Chaplain's very advice has been central to creating the very monstrosities he sought to overcome. From supposedly disparate roots comes similar scenes of tyranny.

well then..
will offer one guess at a definition of what it means to FIGHT for a new world..
it is the most intense and exhaustive fight imaginable...
it is.. to wrestle SELF to the ground, through the process of surrender...
and become (be come) God's partner in this life... this world, by fully consenting to His compassion to and through us.
