News Flash follows: Palestinians
continued to murder Israelis, using cars, knives and whatever else they can
find. When Israeli security forces killed those in the act of slaying their
citizens, the Obama administration, and the president himself, equated the two
acts. ISIL continues to rape, pillage and behead Christians and Obama remains silent. Meanwhile, an
ex-basketball star, celebrated junkie and former reality show husband overdosed
on cocaine and sexual enhancements or augmentations in a Vegas brothel, spent
several days in a stupor, and the week in headlines. If he fully recovers and
if the recent history of our continuing devolving society remains as is, he
will be more commended and make more money than he ever has. The above are but
three examples…
Are we as a nation going to hell
in a handbasket? No, we are going there in glitz and panache definitely not a
handbasket. It’s a Stretch Cadillac with a stripper pole extending through the
sunroof, “Save the Planet” and “Coexist” bumper stickers, and enough room for a
camera crew to capture everyone’s face buried in their cell phones as they post
selfies on social media.
Forget the debt. Never mind the
Middle East, the piles of bodies in our cities, etc. Screw it all, some precocious
urchin is offended! In a world full of troubles, serious troubles, if these are
what we focus on we might as well just admit we really have no problems at all.
If we’re going to go down, we might as well go down in flames.
