Restore Order
I don’t support RFK Jr. for president of the United States. If one does a deep dive into some of his policy prescriptions, we find some fairly left-leaning ideals, particularly in regard to environmental policy. That said, like many conservatives, I can appreciate Kennedy’s sincerity and adherence to many traditional standards. Unlike most Democrats today (he’s running as an independent), he doesn’t hate America, hate America’s past, or hope to undermine America’s future.
What stood out to me in THIS brief analysis by RFK Jr. was an accurate depiction of our problems and the implied solutions. While there are many problems and a variety of solutions, the turbulence of our time requires a very simple overarching solution; RESTORE ORDER.
People from Tucker Carlson to Jordan Peterson have alluded to the role of order as an important principle in individual lives and the life of a society. In recent decades, radical elements in our culture have sought the destruction of our society and have realized that the most effective method for achieving that destruction is disruption and chaos. From the twisted promotion of aberrant sexual proclivities to the unleashing of rampant crime, chaos as a political strategy has become a successful means to achieving rule by ideologues and radical control freaks.
Simple order needn’t conjure images of marching jackboots. Order, symmetry, harmony, and beauty is an easily obtained outcome for a society that wishes to live successfully. An ascendant civilization has historically always been one where the common citizen adhered to principles of decency and belief in consciously promoted standards of virtue.
“Tolerance” need not be something directed at permutations of disorder and decay. Advancement will recur when subversive elements are rejected and order restored.
Restore order.
