The Fall of the American Republic is Looming

Mendacity, hypocrisy, venality, dishonesty, and blatant corruptibility are descriptors that are often applied to Congress and the political class in general in America by both the media and the general public. In the early days of this Republic, the media were even willing to savage George Washington, a man who had sacrificed or risked as much or more than any other American to establish and preserve this nation. Despite Washington’s record of honorable, steadfast and selfless service to his country, the press of his day accused him of being a thief, a seditionist, and would be monarch. The rest of the Founding Fathers were not spared either, and from that day until this one, the media and a large percentage of the American public have consistently and loudly proclaimed the many vices of the political class. Looking back, one can easily see that the media was dead wrong about Washington, Adams and Jefferson. Will history be as charitable in its assessment of the current generation of political leaders governing our country? No, it will not.

Whereas Washington was viciously attacked for his handling of the Whiskey Rebellion and accused of being a power mad dictator exceeding his Constitutional authority, most historians agree that his action was necessary, beneficial and legal. If Washington had not acted as he did, the world’s first truly democratic Republic might have collapsed in short order. Today, the American Republic is the most powerful country the world has ever seen, and the mistakes of its leaders therefore tend to have less import because power provides resilience. It would take a lot of serious mistakes by a single President, or several Presidents, to create and existential threat to this country. Unfortunately, that is exactly what is happening.

The last 60 years of this country’s history is littered with bad decisions and only a few good ones. Starting in the 1960’s we saw the Tonkin Resolution, the Bay of Pigs, Vietnam, Great Society legislation, and the start of the practice of dumping mentally ill people onto the streets. The 1970s brought the Department of Education, ending the gold standard, ousting the Shah of Iran in favor of radical Muslims, signing a treaty to give up the Panama Canal, and Roe vs Wade. The 1980s brought us a big surge of illegal immigration and legislative action to give illegal aliens more and more benefits (a destructive trend that continues to this day), a savings and loan crisis that presaged the 2008 collapse, as well as massive government spending that was not financed by tax revenue. The 1990s saw more of the same where taxes and deficits were concerned except for a brief respite during the years of Bill Clinton and Newt Gingrich. We also saw the birth of the “politics of personal destruction” when Clarence Thomas and Robert Bork were dragged thru the muck during SOCTUS confirmation hearings. That trend has also continued and intensified. The 1990s also saw the rise of Islamic terrorism financed by Muslim OPEC members newly rich on Western oil money and emboldened by the success of the Ayatollahs in Iran, and the mujahadeen in Afghanistan during the 1980s. China also became a powerful economic force in the 1990s compared to its previous position in the world, and that trend accelerated in the next century, aided and abetted by US policy that encouraged companies to do business with and in China, to the detriment of America and its workers.

The early 2000s were dominated by the so-called Global War on Terror after Islamic terrorism’s signature victory on 9/11, and THAT led to two disastrous wars that accomplished little and cost the United Sates trillions of dollars. Focused on the wars, the Republican President let the Democrat Party run amok domestically and federal government power and spending both increased dramatically. Particularly bad were the establishment of the Department of Homeland security and the passage of the Patriot Act. Throughout this period, the Federal government steadily gained power at the expense of individual citizens and the states.

By 2010, the trends that began decades earlier began to bear their bitter fruit. China became a dominant economic power only exceeded by America itself. Politics in this country are now dominated by groups pushing division, racial hatred, and the dissolution of American society and the Constitution. Those objectives are now official Democrat Party policy. Meanwhile the GOP offers only ineffective and feckless protests, thus encouraging their supporters to pursue solutions outside the political system. American support for ALL public institutions is declining or nonexistent (think Congress), including those that used to be respected and trusted: the military, the police, the media, the CDC, the FBI, the courts, etc. The initial reaction of many Americans to any government announcement is now suspicion or outright hostility. Meanwhile the government itself feeds that suspicion and hostility with its arrogance, incompetence, recklessness, and blatant corruption.

So, we entered the second decade of this century in trouble, then elected a senile, bigoted, and corrupt President who surrounded himself with like-minded grifters, liars, and race baiters. A day does not pass without some high-level Biden administration official telling lies, breaking the law, playing the race card, and/or violating the Constitution. One would think that our media would be unanimous in their condemnation of such obvious deceit and lawlessness, but instead they either studiously ignore it, or continue the trend that became glaringly evident during the 2020 Presidential campaign; they rationalize and then deny it. The legendary example that perfectly illustrates the current uselessness of mainstream media is the reporter standing in front of a blazing city while declaring the riots that started the fires to be “mostly peaceful”.

As this article is written, almost every trend in America is negative. The economy is stalling. Inflation is the highest it has been in 50 years, and it appears that only a recession can fix the problem. Our military is run by a bigot named Lloyd Austin who is nearly as obtuse as his boss, and he is aided by a general who has admitted he would engage in treason to help China against America. Crime is rampant in our biggest cities, while policemen are leaving the profession as fast as they can. The military cannot get enough recruits because they do not want to serve under a racist who hates them if they are white, or in an institution that Lloyd Austin claims hates them if they are not white. Productivity is declining in the American work force across the board, even as fewer people want to work. American public schools as a group are a joke and fail to educate our kids adequately. American universities are bastions of racism, bigotry and anti-American socialism. Those universities are supported by the taxes of Americans, the majority of whom hate everything the universities are advocating. Those colleges graduate students who cannot find a job because they cannot read and write effectively. Government debt at the federal and state level is out of control. Drug overdoses are out of control. Illegal immigration is out of control. The Deep State is out of control as well, judging from the apparently illegal and Unconstitutional raid on Trump’s private residence last week. The list goes on much longer, but the bottom line is that America is on the wrong track in almost every way that matters.

It is an alarming and terribly destructive situation, and it is not an overstatement of the facts to say that the future existence of the America Republic is in question if these trends are not reversed as soon as possible. The midterm elections will provide Americans a chance to pass judgment on the party that has pushed these destructive policies as well as on their loyal opposition, the GOP, which largely whined and complained while voting for exactly the same policies they publicly opposed: increasing spending, expanding government power, keeping borders open and allowing sanctuary cities to exist with impunity, letting woke racism permeate the government and large corporations, and many other left wing, anti-American initiatives. It is truly a sordid and rage-inducing spectacle. In November, we will find out if the rage is intense enough to get Americans out to vote to stop it. If not, this country is in the deepest trouble it has been in since 1860
