Societal decay

It's not the school shootings, it's the reaction to it.  The left wants to punish the innocent and reward the guilty.  It isn't unusual for them to do this, for that is what they do.  The media gives the bad guy a name and status as an anti-hero.  Then they blame everybody and everything for what happens except for what actually causes the problem in the first place.  Will a "conversation on guns" ever be a true conversation, or will it be what it always is--- a one-way demand for action that the left favors?  If there was a true conversation, some sort of reasonable policy could be enacted.  But it won't be.  Those who oppose what the left demands will be demonized.

The most recent election was most distressing to many folks.  By all accounts, Obama should have been a one-term president.  He has done nothing to earn a second term, but that is not the way it works anymore.  Evidently, the way it works now is that whoever has the best political machine, wins.  The Republicans could recognize this and begin making adjustments, but don't count on that.  The disease of the Republicans reminds me of ancient Rome.  The Roman Empire fell because of internal weaknesses.  If the same fate of Rome awaits the USA, it won't be because the enemy has grown strong.  Rather, it will be because those who favor the Republic have grown weak.  Our chief weakness has to be our inability to unite.

We are dysfuntional.  Our system is rigged to produce more of the same.  When push comes to shove, what will happen?  A rebellion?  A revolution?  Or will the Republic go out with a whimper and not a bang?  Whatever happens, you can count on one thing.  The left can't get what they want at the ballot box, not even now.  As usual, what they can't get, they will try to get through judicial tyranny.  Obama has a clear road to pack the courts with fellow travelers, who have every intention of continuing their destruction of the American Republic.  Maybe that will be the kickoff to a rebellion, or just a resigned whimper of protest.

The stage is being set for mayhem.  It only needs a spark to set it off.
