Suicide of a Nation

I don't recall anyone asking me if it was okay.

Was there a vote on this while I was away, or asleep?

Doesn’t an idea as drastic as the suicide of a great nation demand the agreement of those involved? I mean if it’s I and my family who are going to be buried, don’t we get a say in this?

Apparently not. Our government leaders, our mainstream news media, Hollywood, our business leaders, our courts, Wall Street, our education system, our unions, and most of all – whoever it is that regularly issues these absurd dictums on what is and what isn't politically correct – have formed a conspiracy of the like-minded. Conspiring to destroy the very fabric that has United our States for over two hundred years. They rush blindly, like lemmings, each trying to show they are more “progressive” than the other, dragging the rest of us, kicking and screaming, to plunge over the precipice of political correctness... into the abyss of some even more bizarre future.

In their effort to make this their vaunted new secular-progressive society, one which “they” – but not most of us – want, they use the courts to erase the very values that have kept the heart of this Republic beating. Why can’t we stop this insanity, I ask myself.

There are far too many people in the world now - and by extension - far too many in America. The empty shells we call leaders insist that we need even more: uneducated, ill-equipt and often physically ill migrants from other lands. People to whom our values mean little or nothing. More people means more criminals, more gangs, more drugs, more perverts, more sickness and more fools. We don't have enough cops and jails to hold the criminals. We did away with looney bins so the pervs walk free. We don't have enough hospitals or funds to care for the sick. So they roam free in our cities and now even our small towns, in increasing numbers, fouling the streets, looking for the sucker, the next free ride. And the fools have overtaken the education system, the courts, the media and, unfortunately the government. The inmates have indeed taken over the asylum.

This will only stop when we are enveloped in a true war of survival. Face it, if it were not for the endless whining of our media about the “failures” of Iraq, most of us who are not now in the military, or have someone very close to us in the military, would not even notice there was military action in Iraq. It’s not part of most Americans’ daily lives, as was WWII. The price of gas will go up anyway.

Perhaps the only good thing about a major and dirty war is that most everyone is involved in one way or another, pulling together, eyes on the prize. After WWII, America not only emerged victorious but all the better for it. Never was America so proud, so sharp and so full of promise as in that all-too-short post-war period. We had a very brief reminder of this right after 9/11. But the post-war period spawned a generation of self-loathing fools who now have infiltrated the nation's most powerful institutions.

Of course the fools don’t think they are fools. They never do. They see themselves as sophisticated, educated Epicureans, to the manor born. They see the rest of us as blind uneducated pawns lacking law degrees and doctorates in the social pseudo-sciences, pawns to be sacrificed in their rush over the precipice.

Paradoxically, it may be that a desperate war of survival is the only thing that will save America from herself. War has a way of forcing patriots to stop suffering the fools. Nobody suffers fools when the going gets rough. Even S-P fools are not so foolish that they don't fear cold steel and hot lead. Criminals and pervs are put where they belong or sent to war. And in the terrible process, world population is reduced to more reasonable levels.

What is a “reasonable” level? It’s like anything else; supply and demand. The more people there are, the less value each life has. People are a dime a dozen. Lose one, a thousand others rush to fill the void. But when there are more voids than there are people to fill them, well that's a reasonable level.

Of all the fools our post-war prosperity has spawned, the S-P fools stand at the head of the line. If it were up to me they would be the front line in the next serious war.

I don’t know about you, but to borrow a phrase from Bill O’Reilly, I ain’t drinking their damned Kool-Aid.
