The New Way
Under the leadership of our great president, the United States has undergone changes that are, indeed, visionary in nature. Our founding fathers drew upon the works of the great philosophers, so too has our president drawn most strongly on one of the oldest and most respected of human principles: loyalty.
Some few tongues may whisper that loyalty is an overrated virtue, that we would be better off making our own decisions about what is right and wrong for our country and ourselves. Nothing, indeed, could be further from the truth. Consider: what portion of our society has access to the best information? Due to the tainting of our information by the scandalously subverted news media, the daily twisting of public knowledge by those who wish harm to our great country, and due also in part to the wise limitations placed on the dissemination of information that could be used to harm us, only those of the executive branch have access to the full details, the entire state of our affairs as nation. This being the case, and the strength of their devotion to this country questioned by not even their most treasonous critics, it is that group and that group alone that can be trusted to deal with our enemies. Would you walk through a wood full of serpents, blind and deaf, with none to guide you? No-- and nor should we wander on our own in a world full of those who hate us and the freedom we stand for without the gentle hands of a caring and responsible leadership.
In this dangerous time, therefore, we each owe our loyalty, in fact, if not in law, to those with the knowledge and authority to be our guides. The workers owe loyalty to those who give them bread, who keep their families from starvation, and therefore must grant their labor to their employers to the fullest of their abilities, trusting in the wisdom of those who lead-- and all the moreso in times of want, for sometimes the community must eat a little less in summer so that famine will not come in the winter. Similarly, these employers, great and small, owe their loyalty (as they owe their livelihoods) to those greater still, who provide for and shelter them, the members of the legislature and the agents of the president, and to provide taxes and tithes to them that our nation may have the resources to maintain its strength in the face of a hostile world. Likewise, it is the duty of the state legislatures to bow to the will of their governors, and the governors and national legislature to that of the president, for these, the executives, are the final arbiters, the best and best-informed judges of our society. Likewise, it is the duty of the judicial magistrates to decide cases between disputants and to punish the lawless and disloyal, but similarly to follow the will of the pinnacle of the government, not to rebel and sow disloyalty and confusion.
The weight upon the president's shoulders, then, is a heavy one indeed, for he is called upon to direct us through this troubled time. Given the best counsel and the best knowledge of any American, and gifted with the trust and confidence of the American people, he must make the choices that will determine, once and for all, the success or failure of our society. This is a difficult task for even the greatest of men, and we must not make it harder through bickering and second-guessing; this, my friends, is a time in which we must be united. Only the disloyal, traitors, criminals, and outsiders who wish to bring down harm upon us would undermine our president in his ability to lead, would fight against him as he seeks to lead us safely through this valley of snakes. I therefore urge you, should you encounter such, to report the incident to your local branch of the IRS, that the subversives' tax returns may be the more aggressively inspected for signs of prosecutable offenses.
It is to be devoutly hoped that this cardinal virtue of loyalty will soon be not merely high principle of those who are strongest and most firm in their defense of our great country, but the law of the land. When this is done, our nation will truly and fully have been brought forth into the twelfth century.
