Democrats Dream

[mudmagnet63]

"The average age of the world's great civilizations has been two hundred years. These nations have progressed through the following sequence: from bondage to spiritual faith, from spiritual faith to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependency, from dependency back to bondage."

I believe this was written approx 2000 years ago I'm not sure about the author. It is very relevant to the times in which we now find ourselves. If the Dems win this election we will be in the Dependancy portion of the above statement, we are damn close already. The only diffrerance that I believe would happen is we would not go back to Bondage, we would see revolution. The Citizens of this Nation are well armed and will not be subjicated. Our future is up to us and unfortunately a LARGE population of LIBERALS.

When the ethic of the day is to scream about higher minimum wage or support for organized labor to the point of shuttering entire industries down, the end is near. Especially when both of those things are irrelevant. What was always relevant was what could you produce that people wanted. Now, that question is no longer asked. What does minimum wage have to do with business? Nothing.

We are moving closer to Idiot World where humans will be hooked up to machines filled with cheese and fed through a tube. They will crap themselves as they watch Oprah, too lazy to get up. They will even complain about jerking off. Its too much work. The government should be compassionate and do that for them.

Our states will be renamed thus, instead of California; Drool, instead of Florida; Death, instead of Louisiana; Shitstains, instead of Washington DC; Landlord. Welcome to Pimp Nation.

Meh...I still have hope. I also believe that the internet will become more and more important in getting out to the masses the foolish things that happen in this country. Take Shamnesty for example. If the internet were'nt around then I'm positive it would have passed w/o the great majority of Americans knowing squat about it. Instead we spoke up and it lost. I was calling, emailing and signing online petitions on a daily basis, thanks to sites like NUMBERSUSA.

I also have hope for this country but, as stated earlier the apathy in our nation is building larger every day. So many want the goverment to fix their problems and assume no personal responsability. What about me is the battle cry of the next generation.

I could be wrong, but, one think I've always felt was that it's the tremendous technological advancement of this age that's basically kept our civilization on life support. If not for this we'd have crumbled well before now. Looking around society it's easy to see the principles upon which the nation was founded, the principles necessary for societies to flourish, are largely dead to many people. And things like modern medicine are basically all that's keeping our society from imploding (and dying off from things like STDs, homosexuality, abortion, etc.).

In the past religious morality was intended to be the check on this self destruction. People are abandoning this morality however (which in the past would have likely killed them) and adopting in its place decadance, excess, and psychosis, relying on technological achievements as a bailout and substitute for good judgement and self-restraint.

As much as it helps however it provides equal opportunity for one to contribute to our downfall, as people ever more see an essential natural and civic duty (such as marriage and procreation) as a nuisance and hinderance to be avoided at all costs. I find many younger men see a wife and children as something which gets in the way of playing WoW all day, and consumes funds they use for pampering themselves with excesses, like 22 inch rims and 47 inch widescreen HDTVs. A friend of mine swears he'll never get married or have children (this same friend owning a 47 inch plasma TV, a 100 inch HD projector screen, two computers, an XBOX 360, a Wii, etc., and spends all of his time planning his accumulation of more). This wouldn't mean much were it only him but I've heard many others say similar things.

It illustrates to me the disconnect from reality which has infected our culture. These men and women who think only of themselves their entire life, who believe there's no repurcussion for endless self-indulgence, and are completely oblivious to the fact that if you don't have kids... it all ends. The video games, the rims, the rights, they all die with you. The "right to choose," flying above the heads of its enlightened advocates, effectively works toward its own eradication every time it's used.

No amount of medicine or technology can save a people hellbent on extinction. Many people have reached a point in which they believe the law of nature no longer applies to us, or that technology has somehow liberated us from, or can save us from actively working against it.

What about me is the battle cry of the next generation It's been the battle cry of every generation.

It's been the battle cry of every generation.

I guess I'm a little guilty myself, I try to teach personal resposability to my kids. I pray every nite I'm getting through.
