Anything New Under the Sun?   

   The collectivist nature of the Soviet Union was a new threat to world freedom. Was top down domination really new?

   Nazi rise to power was a mixed bag of ideologies. The Nationalist Socialist German Workers Party was right-wing fascist, with the economy under strict control of the government, and social Darwinism, all in the interest of the "common good."

   These or China or Cuba or North Korea and others were/are varieties of the same thing. They all claim to be the real deal, and when it fails they deny theirs was "it." 

   All have in common - top down government, be it utopian socialism, communism, national socialism or democratic socialism. Government rules, and values such as freedom and private property fly away. 

   We assume, at Obama's birthday party in his $20 million house in Martha's Vineyard, this was the inner circle of elitists expecting to be our superiors in the near future, if not already so. 

   But, they aren't as wonderful as they think...

Two Thousand Years Ago 

   You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you.

   Instead, whoever wants to become great among you first must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave - just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.

Matthew 20:25-28
