American politics is not a blood sport

The professional upgrade of American politics in the last 50 years has introduced polling, enhanced television as a medium, introduced position papers vice live values discussion, used focus groups to rule, introduced the politics of personal destruction, and made the Nazi propaganda machine look like the early version it was. This professional upgrade has taken advantage of the dumbing down of American education and the results on the younger population, who have little idea about what the melting pot or even the present buzzword of multiculturalism means, or the effects on their future lives.

It is less complicated to finish out an older person’s life by enjoying the fruits of the land earned by our ancestors. To me fruits of the land include electricity and forced air heat and flush toilets. To the younger types these things are too often perceived as rights, but they are not. Just move to the third world, to include rural Mexico to see the difference between “fruits of the land” and so called “rights”. More importantly, it is less complicated to just let all the political rights people in America enjoy today just to disappear in a third world surge of ideas avidly promoted by some Americans who don’t know any better. It is one thing to naively claim I am American and I have rights in rural Mexico, or some other third world country; and what is coming in our country without any corrective action.

Sure there are those like the wacko environmentalists who really want to end humans on the earth, and then some kind of expected nirvana will return. But most naively still expect humans to be around, and probably the dominating species. Even this idea is not one of education and educated opinion, but more one of gut feel and feelings about what seems right.

And what seems right in American is so spoiled, so status quo, so ignorant and naïve, that truly many Americans think that what they have in life is normal, automatic, and will continue forever. If only this were so.

Things have gotten to the point where our way of life is under attack from the jihadists from hell, and the response from the Congress and the media is irresponsible to this older person. Either they don’t care, are undereducated, or are over confident about the status quo existing in perpetuity.

I fear for our future. It is easier to just get old and go away, and let the next generations live in their own cesspool, which certainly is coming the way things seem to be going. And the next generations will be led by the present professional politicians and all their schemes that work in America. After all, today’s politics is about them and media blood sport, not we Americans and our way of life.
