I have good news and bad news…
I’m not sure what the good news is, but I’ll think of something.
OK, here we go.
The bad news is that the World that you know and love is KAPUT!
Depending on how old you are, the death of Western Civilization may very well occur in your lifetime. The Leftist forces are on the march – Marxism, multiculturalism, egalitarianism and radical feminism are growing in strength and effectiveness.
Laissez-faire Capitalism, freedom of speech, religion, thought and all those “dated” concepts are soon to be subjugated by the Politically Correct crowd and eradicated by their growing surveillance State.
Like all great civilizations, our Judeo-Christian society, rooted in family values, is crumbling into dust. The West is soon to be relegated to the history books with only our negatives studied. Our great
leaders, achievements and innovations will be forgotten or appropriated by the Socialist hordes.
Western culture will survive in libraries, art galleries and as answers on Jeopardy. Orwell and Huxley’s visions of the future are upon us.
And for those of you who know this type of society is “wrong,” we are powerless to stop it for all intents and purposes. Pockets of Western Meritocracy and values may survive in the sparsely populated areas of the country and the GREAT STATE OF TEXAS. But as far as influencing
this Country and the World as a whole, I don’t see it happening anytime soon…
We on the Right and our Libertarian brethren are correct in our assessments of what needs to be done to save this country and the world in general. But face it, we’re hopelessly outnumbered by the
“Takers and the Moochers.”
Thomas Jefferson was right when he opined that America can only survive if its population is educated and aware of the machinations of its leadership. However, Americans know more about the Kardashian’s and their favorite athletes than who their leaders are and what they’re up to in the early 21st century.
We’ve been dumb downed, drugged, fattened up and are ready for slaughter.
The only good news is that the World Economy is collapsing and FAST. The mass printing of fiat currencies and borrowing by Western Governments may be all that saves us from the darkest visions of Ayn Rand.
I believe it was the “Iron Lady,” Margaret Thatcher who once said ‘The problem with Socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money to spend.”
I think she’s right.
You could confiscate all of the wealth of the one-percent and it wouldn’t keep Obama’s
Government running for more than 18 months.
Global economic collapse is all the lovers of freedom and liberty have left to hope for.
May it come swiftly…
Sounds as if you need to buy a bullet and rent a gun.
hahhahahahahaha
The right’s demise along with the great american exceptionalism is a direct result of the right’s fear of education and the teacher’s union. Any good businessman knows you have to invest in your product and workers, well the right with it’s constant meddling trying to force taliban style religious myths as truth, rather than faith, on the education of others has made sure the masses are uneducated morons looking for “free”. You high and mighty ones with your head full of religious “truth” have done your best to dumb done every portion of the education system to the level of those who wrote the popular religious texts(mostly 2nd graders), rather than encourage the brightest to explore and expand man’s knowledge, and provide an alternative, trade schools, to those unable or unwilling to go to college. So now live with what you have created, or do the right thing and end it for yourself……….
Someone will have to educate me on one of the freedoms we HAD but no longer HAVE.
whineybaby…i know your boy mitt’s failure has been hard to take…i know it
was a crushing loss…but at your age you probably have seen better days
and the good ones are behind you..
but please get some help…i mean i love to debate you and your 1950’s
ideas…but get some help.
Its not that bad. get out of the basement…some fresh air helps….constantly
looking at your photo with mitt on the wall isn’t going to get you out of the
rock bottom of life.
call glaze at stanfords. Tell him to hook you up with barbie or mercedes or
lexus…or one of his young un’s.. (heck…maybe jessica is still available)…
they’ll cure anything that ails you. But please…seek osme help..
we love your posts on kcc…even though they depress everyone…
heck…maybe hearne can do a trade for ads with one of them hospitals.]
take care…it will all be okay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No girl that Glaze has ever been with is going to “cure” anyone of anything, unless you’re talking about volunteering for some sort of government program to identify viruses, and eradicate them before they hit the majority of the human population.
You are correct Jim- Freedom & Privacy are toast- That’s why I pray for economic collapse ala the Soviet Union- Once Government can’t employ all its enforcers- then maybe some sort of Freedom will return. And as far as having to rent a gun & bget a bullet- I want to live to see all their Socialist schemes fail & have to crawl back to the Capitalists to rebuild the Country.
I think the correct sentiment here is to chill the heck out. Is there anything you guys don’t overreact to?
(no)
Also I can’t recall Fox News getting their panties in a bunch when that one president saddled us with a trillion-dollar debt when he invaded Iraq. What was his name again? Can’t even remember.
The teachers union line from Kansas is laughable. Schools are turning out mouth breathing borderline retards. Graduates that read and comprehend at elementary school levels. Tenured socialist proffs who continue the dumbing down of Americas young. Grade schools who teach kids that everyone is a winner. 20 years from now your average degreed dunce will make Harley look like Einstein.
+10 Mark! Reminds me of an old line; Those who can, DO. Those you CANT, teach. Those who cant teach, teach GYM!
Even though my daughter is one of the outstanding art teachers in the city, when it comes to the 4R’s, we are BEYOND failing and, yes, I blame the teachers union.
The American public likes to pretend education is for education the child. Today it is the battleground for the extremists on both sides to push their ideology.
“The most erroneous assumption is to the effect that the aim of public education is to fill the young of the species with knowledge and awaken their intelligence, and so make them fit to discharge the duties of citizenship in an enlightened and independent manner. Nothing could be further from the truth. The aim of public education is not to spread enlightenment at all; it is simply to reduce as many individuals as possible to the same safe level, to breed and train a standardized citizenry, to put down dissent and originality. That is its aim in the United States, whatever the pretensions of politicians, pedagogues and other such mountebanks, and that is its aim everywhere else.
The fact that I have no remedy for all the sorrows of the world is no reason for my accepting yours. It simply supports the strong probability that yours is a fake.” H L Mencken
Orphan, you hit the nail dead on the head.
This education system breeds nothing but conformance, compliance and squashes creativity like a dead cockroach on the sidewalk.
Sure as hell isn’t about learning or knowledge, I know that much.
Honey Boo boo Boohoo.
The sky is always falling Whiney, even faster for da white man.
Lemme get a bucket for all your tears.
Education is the panacea. A bad citizen is a stupid citizen. It does not matter what color they are or what god they worship. And it’s not limited to education in schools but education at the workplace and, most importantly, at home. Stupid people are having even more stupid children at an alarming rate.
Your logic is inconsistent. If lazzez faire capitalism is going away, then it is not the best system by its own definition.
It has failed in its own marketplace of ideas to other forms such as capitalism with requlations (us, canada), or state run central economic planning (norway, malaysia, china), or democratic socialism (france, germany, sweden).
That is some Washburn logic you threw at us there.
whiney…is this a joke…its got to be…if not i’ve got to say you are one
weak m-fer. Seriously…i know youe’re depressed because the
romney guys used youas a sucker for their huge failure in
the election…but come on bud…its going to be okay.
get some help…if not follow the advice of orphan.

“Socialism is the philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, the gospel of envy- its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
WINSTON CHURCHILL
This piece makes me want to start looking for my old Doors LP, the one that had “The End” on it. If you recall, that song was playing in the background during the movie “Apocalypse Now.” Does anyone recall that magazine that came out for just a brief period of time back in the ’70s, the one called “New Times” (I think I have the name right)? Anyway, its final issue had a forlorn-looking Uncle Sam on the front cover accompanied by a statement to the effect that Americans obviously preferred decadence and decay over enlightenment and advancement as a culture and thus the magazine, which had been devoted to the latter, would be folding. No, anymore it’s clearly a race to the bottom.
Corporate profits are at an all time high. This sure is some strange form of socialism that Barry O. be presidin’ over. White guys sure get goofy when they lose their hegemony.

If you know who John Galt is, please post his phone number.
Yup all the lawyers have ruined it all,,,so in short thanks for the disaster.
The dumbing down of our ‘education’ or, as one famous Midwesterner stated, ‘edutainment’ started when we went to the “student centered” philosophy of teaching. This approach took authority away from the teacher and played up the individualism of the student. Don’t correct the student – you’ll hurt their feelings (I’m NOT kidding about this). Add to this the self-esteem movement where, kids get ribbons and praise just for showing up and within a decade you have a population that has access to the world (through technology) but cannot think critically, and will not be told what to do, or how to act.
