No paragraphs written describing our human male drive for FREEDOM have ever entered and remained in my mind more powerfully and beautifully than the following assemblage of verbs and nouns.
Only a human male animal could have written such paragraphs of such overwhelmingly male content.
The human female animal is born without such a devotion to be free. Her primary genetic drive in life is security, NOT freedom…..for, despite the false claims of the Hillary Roddham Clintons of the world, God’s primary purpose throughout existence and until further notice for human animal existence is to genetically perpetuate the species, not the politics of enslavement to create the human equal. To quote dead, white male animal, William Shakespeare…”Therein lies the rub”.
In truth, if truth is still allowed, everything, the good and the bad, which has driven the human male animal from cave to Americana and today’s world, has been built, embellished, and protected, as well as often destroyed, exclusively by the human male animal. It is in our genetic material.
(The human male cannot yet bear offspring.)
The following masterpiece of English explaining the innate human male animal drive for freedom, its spirit, its meaning, its blessings, rubs, angst, pain, and suffering, was written by Shelby Steele, a man younger than I, but raised closer to my generation than the American of today. It appeared five or so years ago in the Wall Street Journal:
AS A HUMAN BEING WHO WANTED FREEDOM
by Shelby Steele:
“ What drew me to conservatism years ago was the fact that it gave discipline a slightly higher status than virtue. This meant it could not be subverted by passing notions of the good. It could be above moral vanity. And so it made no special promises to me as a minority. It neglected me in every way except as a human being who wanted freedom.
Until my encounter with conservatism, I had only known the racial determinism of segregation on the one hand and of white liberalism on the other; two varieties of white supremacy in which I could only be dependent and inferior.
The appeal of conservatism is the mutuality it asserts between individual and political freedom, its beautiful idea of a free man in a free society. And it offers minorities the one thing they can never get from liberalism; human rather than racial dignity.
“Conservatism “seeks the discipline of ordinary people rather than the virtuousness of extraordinary people. The challenge for conservatives today is simply self-acceptance, and even a little pride in the way we flail away at problems with an invisible hand.”
