Torshavn, Faroe Islands. I had to take a break from the relentless criminal insanity engulfing America. We call TTP “The Oasis for Rational Conservatives,” so I went in search of an Oasis of Sanity. I found it here. Let me tell you what it’s like before we have to sink into the week’s miasma.

It’s the people, the Faroese, that makes this place so special. They have created the Wisest Country in the World. With a literal handful of exceptions, all are Christian – with some 85% Evangelical Lutheran, and the remaining 15% other Christian denominations. Needless to say, there are no mosques in the Faroes.

There is no safer country on earth. No one locks their home, their car, or anything else. Children play anywhere anytime – 20 hours of daylight in the summer – with no problem whatever. Drugs are limited to a minimal use of weed. Traditional marriage is the norm, divorce rare, abortion even rarer, the Faroese have the highest fertility rate in Europe (2.38). Homosexual “marriage” is looked upon as a tasteless form of social lunacy – it doesn’t exist here.

The schools are excellent. People are educated and smart. Most everyone lives in modern middle class homes with well-tended gardens – no McMansions and no poverty. No beggars, no homeless, no refugees from alien shores. The roads and infrastructure are very good, everything works, everything is clean and spotless, there’s no pollution whatever, there’s no purer water or clearer air anywhere.

What impresses me most about the Faroese is how they think with the minds, not with their emotions. What’s fascinating is how they do everything with a relaxed efficiency. They’re friendly and love to laugh and sing, but on serious issues they’ll calmly discuss the issue from both sides, no matter what side they are on.

That’s inspiring – especially contrasted with America (much less, say, Greece), where everyone seems to be in a perpetual state of anger or angst. How extraordinarily refreshing it would be if America had the wisdom of the Faroes. But then, the Democrats and the Left would have to stop being Fascists, and there’s zero chance of that.

OK, time to step into the mire. Then we’ll step back out again.

Those whom the gods wish to destroy they first drive insane. It was a proverb in Ancient Greece, so old no one knew who first said it. In Antigone, Sophocles (496-406 BC) has his Chorus put it this way: Evil seems good to a man whose mind a god leads to destruction.

Sure seems like they were talking about America today. The same with historian Will Durant. In his Epilogue to Caesar and Christ (Volume III of his monumental The Story of Civilization) entitled “Why Rome Fell,” he points with shuddering accuracy to what’s happening to our country:

A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself within.

You can be quite confident that both Sophocles and Will Durant would wearily respond with “What did I tell you?” if they were told of this headline yesterday (7/09):

Oregon Allowing 15 Year-Olds To Get State-Subsidized Sex-Change Operations

This is not only insanity, it is criminal insanity. Note than on top of criminal child abuse being paid for by taxpayers, it can be performed without parental notification.

All members of the Oregon state government who permit this – specifically those on the Health Evidence Review Commission (HERC) who voted for it – and all doctors who perform such criminal surgery, need to be in prison.

How is it possible that America got itself in such a morass of lunacy? Another observation of Will Durant applies: “It may be true that you can’t fool all the people all the time, but you can fool enough of them to rule a large country.”

America elected an evil madman to lead it in order to appease guilt-mongering anti-white racists. He proceeded to drive the entire country insane enough to reelect him, and is now determined to drive it so fully insane it will destroy itself from within.

Further, he has discovered the key of how to do so. Perversely, he learned it from Will Durant. For it was Durant who explained, “The family is the nucleus of civilization.” Destroy the family and you destroy a civilization, in this case America’s. The Madman in the White House has learned this lesson well.
