As a nation, our apologist nature long ago cost us the political will to do what is right or necessary, as the people continue to elect representatives who are interested in neither, based on their innate inability to identify them. How can we use a moral compass without an absolute north? Cosmopolitanism denies such truth.
We will soon lose our national identity, and American society and culture is becoming a thing of the past, just like the American cowboy.
A uniquely American icon, what happened to Gunsmoke, Bonanza, Have Gun Will Travel, The Big Valley, Rawhide, Cheyenne, and others? They faded into television history. Before our very eyes, America will fade into world history, and it would appear we are being suckered into dying from our own sense of misplaced shame.
Unless we do otherwise, America will soon be consumed by the notion that nationalism is evil and contrary to human rights. We continue to be portrayed as selfish isolationists who have grown lazy from our past largesse, while our President prostrates himself to every petty potentate, third world dictator, European socialist and corrupt bureaucrat who cares to look at the top of his head. We have become neutered as a nation, henpecked by petty and special interests only claiming to have the greater good as motivation, staving off our impotence by consuming taxpayer-funded bailouts like handfuls of viagra; and we will quickly be paying the bill for such socialist frameworks, whether in industrial, agricultural, financial or health arenas.
Machine shops are quiet, fields are growing thin, and people who do not have the common courtesy to even sign the guest book are seeking entitlements we can no longer afford. We have pawned our property to the Chinese and Japanese. Our leaders do not have a clue what to do, for fear of being called mean girls, and the rest of us allow them to cower in the court of world opinion, while we seethe behind our keyboards and prepare for the zombie apocalypse.
The only hope we have is our children seem to connect well with their grandparents, who as they grow older, unabashedly will tell you -- we can never make ice cream out of shit. And yes, you can wrap that shit in a pretty, gold-colored box, but all you have is a box of shit.
We're in serious trouble, folks. Humans are just tribal omnivores, and our tender-hearted and soft-headed socialist sell-outs have forgotten that basic truth. With such generational amnesia, we will unintentionally expedite bringing ourselves to that third-world reality.
That's why I have guns. Let the rest of the world throw rocks.
