The Decline of the West

The Decline of the West was a book by Oswald Spengler. It is interesting in its way, but no one would ever call it riveting. The Decline of the West is real, and it is happening right now. President Obama has destroyed my faith in politicians forever. He made a lot of flowery promises. Even if he was better than Mitt Romney, and make no mistake he was better than the gutless wonder who either lied to the people of Massachusetts or lied to the rest of America.

As an aside, I still maintain that had the governor of Massachusetts actually ran for President he would have won. However Mitt lacked the courage of his previously held convictions. Obama destroyed him for two reasons. American doesn’t give a rat-fuck if someone is gay, and everybody knows that women should control their own bodies.

I’m sure that homophobes still do care. By the way, even if you think we don’t realize that gay people scare you because you have gay thoughts we damn well know that you know. Every time you spew your hatred against LBGTQ people we all see the huge neon sign above your head that says “I WANT TO BE GAY”. Get over it.

I am sure also that white men are terrified of women who control their own destinies. The male dominated white society is a myth. Any man who speaks against equality for women speaks against their own daughters, and their own mothers. Frankly I don’t even consider them men, but I should stop ranting.

The end of America won’t happen with a bang. Did you hear one? No? Well the end of America is happening right now. On Obama’s watch. Oh, it wasn’t his idea. That came from the Bush administration. However he did nothing to fight it’s reauthorization. Nothing to protect the Constitution.

The President of the United States swears an oath to uphold the Constitution. Our last two Presidents have said that their first duty was to protect the American people. Guess what, neither of them read their oath. If you forgot your crib sheet: “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

It’s pretty simple. It says preserve, protect, and defend the CONSTITUTION of the United States. Notice it doesn’t say “the people”. For over 200 years we had plenty of safety for plenty of Americans with the Constitution intact. It can be that way again. We don’t have to be scared of all the brown people just because a few brown people happened to do something bad.

Yet we have no first, second, fourth, fifth, or sixth amendment rights any more. Since the PATRIOT act was passed in 2001, just a few days after the tragedy of 9/11. It was signed October 26th by George W. Bush and reauthorized as the PATRIOT Sunsets Extension Act of 2011 and signed by Barack Obama on May 26th 2011.

If the Republican party wants a serious candidate for President in 2016, like Chris Christie who would be fantastic in my opinion, they need to realize three things. The four largest expansions in the Federal government have all been under Republican administrations. If you want less government in reality you need to stop expanding. If you want women to vote for you you need to treat them as equals. If you want the gay community to vote for you then you need to treat them as equals. Stop demonizing people who think differently. Stop demonizing the poor. Stop believing in hate.

America could be great again.
