It may not look it. The corpse seems viable, breathing,
still full of life. But, trust me. It's dead.
There are now more people who expect things than there are
people who earn things. There are now more covetous people than honorable ones.
The Obama voter smirks at the Romney voter and sneers, "Payback! Now
you're gonna get yours!"
Actually, they're going to get theirs, when the gas and
electricity and food go through the roof, and the jobs and prosperity through
the floor. But, then, Obama will blame the oil companies and the electric
utilities and George Bush, and Hilary Clinton will win the next eight years,
and Governor Cuomo another eight beyond that, with one or two Congressional Republicans
from some district in Texas kept around for sport.
The grand experiment is over. We are Lee's Army at Appomattox.
We lost. We will not rise again. Conservatism is relegated to the ash heap of
history, along with the primacy of the individual, inherent rights, and
government as servant. The individual will diminish, rights will be determined
on a case-by-case basis, and a political and corporate elite will rule you.
But that's all right. You'll have American Idol, marijuana, sex with anything you want, and an
assigned job and apartment. You'll be happy.
Just not free.
