A Paradise for Fools

The year is 2013 and the United States, a fast-fading leader of the Western World, a nation formerly known by rational men for its generosity, innovations, technological superiority, military preparedness and Christian Values, has inexplicably inaugurated a shallow, arrogant, vapid and vain man for a second term as president.  The backbone of his success, the foolish, shallow, vain and vapid western press, is on full display at the inauguration, praising its titular leader for accomplishments that are not accomplishments (because there are no actual accomplishments) while expressly ignoring the countless failures of the first term.  These media bimbos - and believe me, "bimbo" is not a gender-specific term - swoon over the foolish attire of reputed societal leaders while ignoring the central societal story, the economic catastrophe that has robbed America of its vitality and ability to provide moral and economic leadership to the likewise fast-fading western world.

In this foolish, indeed ridiculous "celebration" of philosophical assignation, the thought that a grand opposition would be prominent in both its number and its outrage is indeed a false hope.  The so-called loyal opposition has in large part co-opted itself in the sad and embarrassing hope of assimilation into the mass of the lemur-like "majority party." (Better to be praised by the drones than to speak actual truth to debauched power, right?) The majority party, formerly made up of working folk, liberal academics and enlightened philosophers, all seeking ways to better society, was itself lately infused with far-leftists, anti-American radicals, anarchists, buffoons, imbeciles, open racists and anti-semites and, mostly, Marxists (There are, admittedly, some redundancies in this list).  Unfettered by a vigilant press, any actual moral anchor or patriotic purpose, the majority party has begun a wholesale dismantling of America's duel promises of liberty and economic freedom.  The underpinnings of America's greatness - democracy, free market capitalism, personal freedom and liberty, the ability to pursue one's happiness without government interference (save for those few instances when one's pursuit posed real threat and danger to others), and the promise of an armed forces and constabulary capable of defending these primary values - have been diminished and, indeed, ridiculed by the now-ruling far left mob.  The radical president has restricted access to primary energy sources, slashed military preparedness, utility and stability, intentionally compromised American economic vitality by restricting economic activity, enacting unsustainable and morally questionable entitlement programs that were sold to the public by a series of planned misinformation campaigns, and enacted with a series of untoward legislative practices that would have even embarrassed many despots.  Without the fear of another election campaign, he now speaks openly of avoiding the legislative branch and instead ruling by dictatorial fiat.  Hence the designation: American Nero.  And well-deserved it is.

It was downright nauseating to watch these people loose in the streets at the second coronation of his highness.  Good God what have we allowed to happen?
