I have been hearing nattering from feminists that it is not socially responsible to celebrate beauty and love in my poetry. What they refuse to understand is that it is precisely their agenda that is socially irresponsible and destructive to this country, and that in celebrating the beauty of my beloved I fight the disease they inflict on the United States. I do not abdicate my duty to be socially responsible; I own it and take it to the utmost. And I hope that more people follow in my footsteps. The United States was regarded upon its conception as the "last best hope for mankind." Thinkers, artists, statesmen, businessmen came to this country to develop it as a nation that, in Western civilization, pioneered liberty and human rights. Throughout the history of this country, from both the left and the right, liberty and human rights have been under attack. McCarthyism was stopped when someone finally had the courage to stand up to a bully. The so-called political correctness, and the violence that it has inflicted upon America, will be destroyed in a similar manner through application of the founding principles of this country. It is not that American people don’t deserve what has happened over the last decade. It is that the wrong people have been paying the price. The gutting of science, citizenship and liberal arts education created a population of people ignorant of their nation’s founding principles, people who do not have the intellectual wherewithal to value the liberties afforded by their constitution or to see threats to their liberties for what they are. When people are scared out of their wits with warnings of sociopaths or stalkers or miscreants, people are turned from thinking individuals into traumatized cattle, silencing thought, hiding behind fenced-in communities and voting for fascists. When it is possible to make an innocuous conversation at work into a false sexual harassment lawsuit or use appearance of flirting into a false rape accusation, people can’t make romantic matches and lives are destroyed. When women view male sexuality as exploitative, it becomes impossible for men and women to love or be affectionate to each other. And when celebration of beauty and love is seen as socially irresponsible, the very flower of human existence – love between women and men – fails to blossom in America, dooming people to relationships that are in fact exploitative; at which point people don’t even get the taste of meaningful liberty and find the American constitution an empty document. It was one of America’s founding fathers who said that people who would sacrifice liberty for security are not worthy of either. Nor, indeed, do they get it; we are at this point in history neither secure nor free. The climate of nastiness fanned by media propaganda left people traumatized and in hiding, and in the process they became slaves of the media. It is a matter of patriotism to stand up to this nastiness and say, This Shall Not Pass. Beauty is the most visible, most apparent manifestation of the dignity of the human being. It is health, achievement, harmony made visible in physical form; it is a celebration of human being and a celebration of the universe which the human inhabits. An attack on beauty is thus an attack on the human being as well as on nature, God and the civilization. From then on, it is only a short step before taking away people’s rights. And of course taking away people’s rights is precisely what political correctness is all about. The ethic of not speaking or doing anything that could possibly be perceived by anyone as offensive is inherently undemocratic. If people can’t speak what might offend anyone, then people can’t speak anything that can mean anything, because all meaningful statements are controversial and someone will be offended by anything meaningful that anyone has to say. The result, is, of course, totalitarianism – which, given the Marxist foundations of politically correct thought, is hardly a surprise. The so-called political correctness is therefore un-American. Instead of people working to make themselves beautiful – the solution that leads to achievement, to human development, to people being the best thing they can be – the politically correct attack those who are beautiful for their manifestations of health, self-discipline and good genetics and take away from them the just rewards of their efforts – romance and love. Instead of rewarding achievement and building upon it to make a great country with a great population, the politically correct stifle the roots of achievement and make a country of people traumatized and weak – a country of victims, a country of stunted and thwarted people who, being what they are, have no hope for human fulfillment. Instead of stimulating people to take responsibility for what they are with promise of being rewarded with good things, political correctness demands equal outcomes through dragging everyone down to the lowest level. All in all, political correctness is a negation of all good that humanity has achieved. To come to the rescue of love and to speak of it in one’s poetry, is thus the best thing a poet can do for the American society. To celebrate the joy, the innocence, the majesty, of a human being that is completely soulful, artistic and loving is to celebrate the ideals that elevated the Western civilization out of the medieval morrass. In the same way as the castles in Canada that were built by millionaires for their loved ones did more to raise consciousness of Canada than did far more expensive office buildings here, so is romantic poetry a greater glory for women’s rights than is any amount of feminist literature. It is a manifestation of love of man for the woman – which is and has always been the best security a woman possesses against being abused and degraded. The more men have the courage to write such poetry, the better the condition of the American women and the more advanced the real women’s rights.
