The (Sad) State of Our Union
Perhaps the most depressing thing about last week’s presidential election is how blissfully unaware most of the country is with regard to what this election portends for the United States. It is the inevitable result, I suppose, of short-sighted electorate, stripped of all meaningful knowledge of America’s history and mechanics of government by several decades of crappy public school education (controlled and dispensed overwhelmingly by liberals).
I wish I could lay the blame solely at the feet of the Left, but alas, I cannot. The Republican party–the only feasible voting option for conservatives–has abandoned its principles and, as a result, surrendered the game. And now it will be a pox on both our houses, to the dismay of those of us who never gave up on what we believe. We’re going down with the cultural annihilators and the enabling cowards alike.
I suggest that everyone read this devastating article by Peter Hitchens. A few excerpts below–if they don’t make you cringe, you’re either extremely drunk or hopelessly stupid. Or hey, maybe both.
“The swooning frenzy over the choice of Barack Obama as President of the United States must be one of the most absurd waves of self-deception and swirling fantasy ever to sweep through an advanced civilization. At least Mandela worship–its nearest equivalent–is focused on a man who actually did something.”
True.
“If you can believe that this undistinguished and conventionally Left-wing machine politician is a sort of secular saviour, then you can believe anything. He plainly doesn’t believe it himself. His cliche-stuffed, PC clunker of an acceptance speech suffered badly from nerves. It was what you would expect from someone who knew he’d promised too much and that from now on the easy bit was over. He needn’t worry too much.”
Yep.
“Perhaps, being a Chicago crowd, [the audience of his acceptance speech] knew some of the things that 52.5 per cent of America prefers not to know. They know Obama is the obedient servant of one of the most squalid and unshakeable political machines in America.”
Sadly, I think Obama voters knew about his inexcusably corrupt roots and shameless opportunism: they just didn’t care. Which is even scarier than them not knowing.
“[The Third-World immigrants cheering Obama's election in D.C.] grasped the real significance of this moment. They knew it meant that America had finally switched sides in a global cultural war. Forget the Cold War, or even the Iraq War. The United States, having for the most part a deeply conservative people, had until now just about stood against many of the mistakes which have ruined so much of the rest of the world. Suspicious of welfare addiction, feeble justice and high taxes, totally committed to preserving its own national sovereignty, unabashedly Christian in a world part secular and part Muslim, suspicious of the Great Global Warming panic, it was unique.”
Wanting to please the anti-American Third World hordes reminds me of the smart kid in school who starts getting C’s–or even failing classes–because the endless envy and vicious taunts of the underachievers finally wears them down. In other words, the dilemma of achieving black kids in inner-city schools, writ large.
“These strengths had been fading for some time, mainly due to poorly controlled mass immigration and to the march of political correctness. They had also been weakened by the failure of America’s conservative party–the Republicans–to fight on the cultural and moral fronts. They preferred to posture on the world stage . . . . And now the U.S., like Britain before it, has begun the long slow descent into the Third World. How sad. Where now is our last best hope on Earth?”
America has always been the refuge and dream for strong and brave people who do not wish to live under the boot of an oppressive statist regime. There’s nowhere to run now, ladies and germs.
