Prosperity. Should be a good thing, wouldn't you think? It is until its evil twin, Complacency, takes over. This happened in the U.S. two generations ago. Early manifestations were things like auto and steel industry execs surrendering to ridiculous demands (thirteen weeks vacation, e.g.) from the unions. No reason not to. Fighting is such a messy business, and they had no real competition. Pump the new costs into the price of the products and go back to sleep until the next contract renewal. We all know how that turned out.
Today's "social justice" charade has the same foundations. Who the hell are "community organizers?" Who pays them? Where does the money come from? What's expected from them for the pay they get? The answer is that they are political operatives paid for by the taxpayer, and they are expected to deliver votes for Democrats, something they do quite efficiently. These parasites continue to exist - for now- because for generations, Prosperity fattened the population while Complacency stood guard. Growing shortages from the treasury each year weren't enough to jostle Complacency from its nap, so the lengthy slumber allowed an army of looters to organize and grow. Nearly fifty unopposed years of undermining the capitalistic structure that has sustained its life. No "benefit" (appeasement) given along the way has been received with gratitude. All are eventually deemed insufficient and are more evidence of the "meanness" of capitalism. Now the unthinkable has happened. The parasites have control, and working Americans are dumbfounded by the successful treachery.
If you believe the country's direction is suicidal, join the fight. Don't just point to this November, though. If Republicans take Congress this fall, the victory will be nothing more than a speedbump in the Progressives' momentum. Nothing accomplished by the Obama/Reid/Pelosi monster can be undone without sixty Republican senators and a Republican president. This means you have to stay focused for years. Your opponents will never let up, so neither can you. Commit your time, your money, and your big mouth to killing this army. Not just a slight cough and low-grade fever. Dead.
"The price of freedom is eternal vigilance." Thomas Jefferson Wake the hell up out there!
