Patriots win by 3......again!
Nietzsche is one of the keys to understanding the global left's agenda:
Here is one optimist's reason for believing unity will prevail over disunity, integration over disintegration. In fact, I'll bet that within the next hundred years.... nationhood as we know it will be obsolete;<font color=red> all states will recognize a single, global authority.</font> A phrase briefly fashionable in the mid-20th century--"citizen of the world"--will have assumed real meaning by the end of the 21st century

The Naturalistic Philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche
Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) believed that contemporary morality is an inversion of true morality. Whatever is genuinely moral accords with human nature and never contradicts it. Nietzsche agrees with Schopenhauer that man's nature is composed of life's instincts, that the task of of life is to fulfill man's instincts, not to inhibit them as the prevailing culture of modern times has so often demanded. But he differed profoundly from Schopenhauer's pessimism, assuring us, on the contrary, that success is attainable if we give full expression to our instincts instead of repressing them.
SLAVE MORALITY vs. MASTER MORALITY
Nietzsche pointed out that two moral systems have been apparent throughout history -- that of enslaved peoples and that of the elite who have traditionally ruled -- and that each system has had its own moral code. The slave morality of the weak requires them to accept subjugation and obedience to the master race.
The master morality consists of the ethics of the aristocratic class (rulers and noblemen) who comprise the "Aryan race of conquerors," dedicated to combat, adventure, victory. For these men, peace comes only with conquest of their opponents who must then acknowledge the natural right of the strong to rule the weak.
The principle that might makes right, said Nietzsche, is the verdict of nature, in contrast to civilization (Christian and Jewish) which has opposed this ethic with one of humility and compassion. The traditional Judeo-Christian culture is appropriate, Nietzsche insisted, only for slaves. The Jews were a subject people during most of their history and consequently developed a morality suited to the weaker segment of the human race. Theirs is an ethic of ressentiment, a product of repressed anger, a repressed hostility which seeks to devise hidden reprisals against their lords and taskmasters. According to Nietzsche, slaves do not dare to retaliate openly but seek clandestine forms of revenge.

Nietzsche accused Judeo-Christian religious leaders of using religion as a means of turning natural moral values upside down, so that the master race become the slaves, and the slaves become the masters. The slaves, said he, became priests representing the omnipotent God and threatened their masters with divine punishment unless they, the masters, accepted a humble, servile role as obedient servants of the slaves.
Nietzsche called for a revaluation of all values, the repudiation of Judeo-Christian values. (Note the kinship of this philosophy to that of Adolph Hitler, although, Nietzsche's aristocrats were to be found in many nations, not in one only.)</font>
THE SUPERMAN
Nietzsche's Superman is a moral giant endowed with physical superiority. He is a member of a race to come; no one has yet achieved this high goal, for the best of men have fallen short. The Nietzschean concept of Superman would require him to be a being who combined the might and majesty of Caesar with the moral superiority of Jesus.
Just as man is superior to ape so the Superman will be distinctly superior to man. As a morally superior creation, Superman never needs to grant forgiveness, for he would promptly forget or ignore any wrongs done him. In fact, he has forgiven even before he has been wronged. In spirit he is like Jesus on the cross, asking God to forgive his enemies. Nietzsche asserted that Jesus was an ideal model for Christians, but they had failed to imitate that model and, consquently, "there was only one Christian and he died on that cross."
THUS SPAKE ZARATHUSTRA
Although Neitzsche was an atheist, he was a most perceptive critic of those who profess to believe in God, yet deny him by their reprehensible behavior. Nietzsche depicts a mythical Persian oracle, Zarathustra, as jeering at an old saint in the forest: "Could it be possible! This old saint in the forest hath not yet heard of it, that God is dead." In other words, if we judge from behavior of Jews and Christians, God must be dead; if he were not, then those who believe in him would not dare to misbehave so abominably.
The fact that God died for love of man, said Nietzsche, proves that love brings suffering and misfortune. Love makes the individual vulnerable to evil influences and adverse circumstances. The individual must not be dissuaded from self-realization by consideration of sentimental attachments of this kind, but must always remember that God died for love of man because of man's incorrigible behavior.
