NL: “There is one truth I have never, EVER seen fail. “History repeats”.”
That saddens me, but it’s true. Look at all the misery created by socialism and communism in the 20th Century. Yet, our dear president seems to think it will work here, that we can have all our needs met if government acts as a fairness arbiter. It’s been tried before, President Obama. It doesn’t work!
What’s even sadder is we have the benefit of far, far more information than previous generations. There’s so much information available online to whoever wants it. Yet, we’re still going to go down this road toward fairness, social justice, and equality, even though any fool can see where it’s leading.
You can also see where the immorality leads. Even if we somehow turn the clock back on government, you can’t build a healthy society using ruined families. Divorce, out of wedlock births, institutionalized child rearing, etc.. Some people hate the 50s, but look how many children grew up in stable, loving families back then. It wasn’t perfect, but the social ills were generally confined to small areas. Now it’s spreading everywhere.
What saddest of all? It doesn’t really matter, culturally speaking, how hard you and I try to be responsible citizens and parents. It doesn’t matter how hard we try to educate ourselves and make wise choices with our votes. We’re along for the ride.
I once worked with a reporter, who UNEXPECTEDLY!!! went to work for an East coast state Dem pol. He was the stereotype lib made flesh.
No matter how much reality you shoved down his throat, no matter how many pages of historical proof his beliefs were all a disastrous lie, none of it mattered. His vision, the lib vision was holy writ. And he literally said it failed before because the wrong people were in charge. Literally. No joke.
We will be living in the Road Warrior movie shortly. The only good thing about that is death, disease, slavery and exposure to the elements will kill off most of his mindset.
Most with our mindset will come together to survive it. Assuming Obama doesn’t nuke us just to ‘win’.
