The "Symbol = Reality" Myth

One of the greatest mistakes the neo-left makes is the confusion of symbol with reality. For instance, the bald 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 represents 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 protected 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 dangerous part of our environment is not the outside world. The most dangerous environment is inside the human womb--45,000,000 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 Judeo-Christian metaphysics has been replaced by atheistic metaphysics.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!
