Like a spoiled teenager, incapable or unwilling to listen to her parents, this country is finally failing, dropping out and the best we can hope for is to be allowed to move back in with our parents.
Our pathetic attempt at “democracy” has failed. We cannot govern ourselves. We can’t even balance a budget. What hope does this failed experiment have of reaching a mature and responsible place of leadership in the world? To suggest that Trump, or Obama or Bush or Clinton are at fault is entirely too myopic. The failings in our political system are so endemic and widespread they are impossible to root out. We have created an oligarchy of millionaires who care only for increasing their own power base. One of the greatest ironies in world history is that Kruschev was completely correct. American Capitalism is a dead end because the unbridled corruption of our corporatocracy is relentless and insatiable.
Eventually there will be no middle class excepting that which survives on their credit card debt. And when that debt finally comes due, the largest economic segment in the country will be completely wiped out in moments. 89% of Americans have no net value to speak of, literally. Racial tension in the country is as high as it has been since the 60’s. Tremendous effort and marketing has been focused on undermining every shred of allegiance to the symbols of power and respect in this country. The Constitution, the office of the Presidency, our historic landmarks have all been shredded. In fact they’ve been destroyed beyond repair.
This country will never again hold respect for the office of the president. In fact there is no point in typing the word in upper case anymore. No national landmark is safe from vandalism or destruction on the grounds of being discriminatory or offensive to some segment of the population. The Viet Nam War Memorial in Washington is a grim reminder of the horrific crimes American perpetrated on innocent Vietnamese far away and in many peoples minds should be defaced or destroyed. And who are we do argue the point? After all, we have thousands of Vietnamese American citizens who’s ancestors were killed or injured in that war.
No, political correctness has gone so far awry here due to our foolish policies of acceptance and tolerance that we are now a country with no clear persona. It is no strength to be a great mixing pot. We once thought it was. But now, it has become clear that the toxic mixture of a multitude of disingenuous peoples and cultures have poisoned the very soil we walk upon. This country is doomed. There can be no compromise, no happy and peaceful co-habitation. The more violent and powerful race will always dominate. This is nature we’re talking about. Darwin knew the score. Is it confusing to anyone that other countries don’t allow unfettered immigration? Does it come as a shock to you that Iran, Iraq, Jerusalem, Syria and other middle eastern countries don’t allow hordes of foreign immigrants into their countries? Would it surprise you to learn that countries like Japan and China focus intently on being extraordinarily homogenous in their cultural standards?
It’s not that I’m against multiculturalism. That’s not what I’m trying to point out here. America is what it is. A choice was made over 200 years ago and we allowed everyone in. At that time, it was expected that people would embrace the concept of the new world and they would become “Americans” to better their own lives and forward the ambitions of the country as a whole. But along the way everyone lost their focus. Things became muddled. Instead of America and Americans, we became a country of mutts. African Americans and Asian Americans and Mexican Americans and even Native Americans which later became American Indians. We all forgot that at one time we were Americans.
And now that’s all gone. Now we don’t know what we are, but we’ll never be Americans again. That isn’t going to happen. Because it’s a global world. And the money isn’t in “Americans”. It’s in turmoil and infighting and campaigning to fix things that our politicians continue to purposefully break. And sadly we are stupid enough to continue electing the same leeches over and over again. Why?
Because we aren’t Americans. We’re something else. Maybe you’re an African American or a European American. Maybe like me you’re a “Montana”. Maybe your Italian American or Asian American. But honestly, you aren’t American anymore. And that’s too bad. It used to be a hell of a country but the spoiled little brat just failed to grow up.
