The Decline & Fall of Political Discourse
As the easily predicable disaster that is ObamaCare continues to evolve, two things are certain: one, Barack Obama and his minions will never admit failure and reverse course; and two, the vitriol emanating from the Left aimed at obliterating their political opposition will intensify during the upcoming year far beyond what has been experienced during the Obama term to date.
Over the past 14 years much has been made of the precipitous decline in the level of discourse in the United States. Many attribute this to the coarsening of the language and the ever-widening gulf between the various factions in the political spectrum in today’s America. However these factors are a symptom of a current underlying and foundational dilemma: the inability of not only the general public but nearly all of the so-called societal leaders and opinion makers to generate an original thought, as well as a stubborn refusal to reason or compromise when confronted with irrefutable facts and arguments, as exemplified by the ongoing catastrophe that is ObamaCare.
These traits can be explained, insofar as the general public is concerned, as a consequence of their subjugation for the past forty years to a woeful and deliberately incomplete education bordering on indoctrination. However, this does not fully explain many of the so-called best and brightest falling into the same abyss and being unable to coherently generate an original thought or concept. While this is true for a few on the more conservative side of the political spectrum it is overwhelmingly the case among those who self-identify as liberals or progressives.
Those who publically espouse the statist philosophy do so in age-old and threadbare platitudes. The depth of thought rarely exceeds three basic tenets: 1) capitalism and wealth accumulation is evil; 2) only an economy and society dominated by a powerful central government can guarantee fairness of outcome and 3) anyone who disagrees with 1 and 2 is dangerous, ignorant and not only greedy but tyrannical and thus must be relegated to the ash heap of society.
