What we are actually dealing with in America today is not true capitalism. It's a virulent form of crony capitalism, what I have elsewhere described as crapitalism. In other words, when big business and big government conspire to regulate the business climate (and always in the name of correcting or reforming abuses), the inevitable result is that choices and options for individual citizens start vanishing.

"The lover of political liberty should long for the day when kings will be foster fathers for the church, not for the day when kings and presidents will finally 'get theirs.'"

Some of the negative reviews of this book remind me of Uncle Andrew's and Jadis' reaction to the symphonic creation of Narnia. Either they don't get it, or they get it, and hate it. I'm more like the Cabby. I was so moved, I could hardly read it aloud to the kids tonight.

So in the Christian lexicon, submission does not mean inequality. Just as headship does not mean male, submission to headship does not mean that women are relegated to the realm of chattel. Feminism is therefore, at its root, a Trinitarian heresy. God the Son is subordinate to God the Father, but subordination is not inequality of essence. Jesus Christ, the one who submitted and obeyed, was fully and completely God.

The family is enjoying a chapter most evenings. The theme of moral absolutism is apparent as the children of the story can see that the magician and witch's claim to a privileged set of ethics due to their status basically just means they "think they can do whatever they want."

It is significant that increasingly "scientific" educators, after Dewey, refuse to hope for a "changed" society and speak rather of the goal of a "changing" or controlled society, always fully controlled and always in process for process' sake. The radical "freedom" from all law save process leaves this new god-man free to reign in a hell and chaos of his own designing.

Modern men, scientists and humble believers in evolution alike, are parasites. They are living off the unearned capital of Christian civilization, on the impetus, law, and order of centuries of Christianity. Like all parasites, they are destroying the host body, Christendom, and its collapse will be their death also.
