If the Democrats anger, bitterness, envy and resentment are
an accurate indication of how a majority—or even a significant minority—of
American citizens feel and think, America is, a priori, finished.
The
Founders must be devastated. We are rapidly devolving from a freedom-loving,
Western-looking, pull-ourselves-up-by-our-own-damn-bootstraps people who went
to the moon and back over 50 years ago (but never since), into a whining,
sniveling, virtue-signaling, greedy, envious, entitled collection of disparate,
pathetic, amoral, “social justice” warriors. We no longer countenance the Ten
Commandments but are openly fond of the Seven Deadly Sins. Once proudly
independent, far too many of us have morphed into punch-less, punch-drunk,
impotent eunuchs not worth the tissue in which we are massed. The literal and
figurative descendants of those that once conquered the most powerful military
on Earth (now itself a sad shell of its former strength and glory) and a
massive, unforgiving continent have allowed themselves to be infantilized,
feminized, domesticated, enfeebled and enslaved by an elite and unaccountable
political class of masters who promise them safety, ease and freedom from pain,
challenge and inconvenience.
Where once we traveled from
Lexington and Concord to Gettysburg and from Flanders Fields to Okinawa, we now
run to our safe spaces and away from those who disagree with us. Rugged
individualism has been supplanted by timid collectivism and group think. “Progressive”
policies are destroying us from the inside. The Bernie Bros. among us would
rather lecture and berate the successful than emulate them. They are naught but
vile—and violent-- little pissants, incapable of rooting for others’ success or
achieving their own.
I am sorry, Mr. Franklin. I am
sorry John, Sam, Thomas, James and Alexander. I apologize to all those who
risked their lives, fortune and sacred honor to gift us the freest and most
prosperous nation in the history of this or any other planet. I am particularly
sorry, Mr. Washington. As the one indispensable man, the Father of Your
Country, it must pain you beyond words to see it being torn asunder. The nation
you sired, sir, is in transition. In fact, it is “trans” now. Betrayed
by “educators” and a corrupt media (indoctrinators all), many of its
citizens have lost their confidence and their purpose. Many are unable to tell
good from evil, or worse, reverse their meanings. We’ve become a nation that no
longer even knows what pronouns to use to describe itself.
In the past, we celebrated e pluribus
unum, “out of many comes one.” We valued the concept of the individual over that
of the group. We have reversed that, too. Today’s Democrats demand that out of
one comes many. They don’t see—or wish to see—Americans. They see
blacks, lesbians, Bisexual Latino women agnostics, etc., etc.
Ironically, “identity politics” has
caused America to lose its collective identity.
