The horror! The horror!
Capitalism?
Whaaat “capitalism”?
Wee don’ HAVE no STEENKING ‘CAPITALISM’!!!!
The moral decay in America is certainly attributable to the waning influence of God over the egos of men and women, a product of the liberal's socialist revolution.
There is a spiritual power vacuum in America and a liberal mindset that says it's OK to fill that vacuum with whatever feels right. And so now we have a public black mass scheduled in Oklahoma City for september 21st.
It's all further complicated by decades of deinstitutionalization. Once the loonies were allowed into the gene pool, insanity run amok was inevitable.
Then there's the drug abuse, another product of the liberal's social revolution.
and an education system which does a fine job of indoctrinating children into the liberal's social revolution but which fails to prepare the majority of children for the changing economic/industrial realities.
And the promiscuity, another product of the liberal's social revolution, which creates so many more liberal socialists for the indoctrination machine.
and the liberal immigration policies which add even more useless eaters to the ranks of the liberal socialist revolutionary ranks.
And yet the liberals are surprised when white working Americans are investing heavily in guns and ammo?
I had a little bet with myself just how long I could go today without some buzzkill a-hole trying to take the life out of Independence Day for me, and I was doing pretty well until I ran into this torrent of self-righteous rot. This isn't even the quality of a decent undergraduate essay, and invoking Hegel, Dylan Thomas, Emma Lazarus, and heaven help us, Edward Gibbon, is not a mark of erudition, it's a snow job. Incidentally, he might want to check his references on Gibbon, who refused to meet with Franklin out of pique at the outcome of the War of Independence. Franklin famously remarked that he'd better begin the Decline and Fall of the British Empire, and Franklin was right.
It is occasionally useful to have the entire litany of liberal complaint wrapped up in a single package but it's an awful slog to mine the thing for actual semantic content. We are told in one paragraph that the Puritans - the American ones - were merciless theocrats, and several paragraphs later we are given the cheery reassurance that Sleeper isn't advocating a return to that set of values. That isn't actually what we were suspecting at that point, but I suppose it's good to know.
Parading a clatch of murdering schizophrenics across the top of the article as symptomatic of American "rage" leads the attentive reader to wonder before a paragraph is done if Sleeper has any idea what he's talking about, a question that is all too promptly answered in the negative by the time the second paragraph is done. His list of villains responsible for the demise of whatever grotesque image of the country he's carrying in his head lacks a single entry: that class of people for which America was born in original political sin, built by oppression and prospered through theft, a blot on the world and the enemy of human freedom. For these, cursing the nation at the celebration of its independence is an annual obsession. If Sleeper truly believes that the nation is "spinning apart" he might consider not turning the crank quite so hard himself.
IMHO, this screed is an example of the process described here:

The horror! The horror!
We don't have capitalism. We have big-government/big-corporate crony fascism.
But let's pretend that everybody and everything we hate is the problem, and not the things that actually are the problem.
I fail to note any conservative patriots in those photos...
America’s problem are leftists, who are always unhappy with life, are filled with the seven deadly sins, want to control and dominate others and want to force them to obey the leftists whimsical and poorly thought out idealistic notions that consistently never work.
Such people are miserable with the idea that everything they want they could provide themselves, if they just limited it to themselves. Because even they know that they are incapable and that their ideas are crap. They want to project their pain and frustration by hurting others.
The crave the idea that something, anything could make them superior, when they know they are inferior. They cannot create or build, so they live to tear down and defile.
If they could be put on their own island, they would rapidly die out, because as parasites, they are dependent on their hosts to survive. Without all the people who are not like them, they become extinct.
I think Sleeper is a victim of his own self-induced hysteria.
Salon, Slate and the HuffPost are Upworthy for the literate.
A liberal arsonist who sets fire to society then. Complains that it is burning. What he needs is a good punch in the face.
about 90% of the mass murderers in high school around the country were taking some form of mood altering adhd drug....
imho the gateway drug for these is sugar.

They forgeot the ending on that statement, “thanks to the democrates”
Amazing how he slams all of America, because of the actions of a few crazed individuals, or of gangs of thugs who haven’t been civilized by normal family life. They do not comprise the majority of America, or even a minority of Americans. They are a tiny portion of the population, but they make the evening news and go ‘viral’ on the internet, so they’re uppermost in peoples’ minds for a short time, then the folks back to their daily lives until the next occurrence brings violence to the forefront again.
