It’s easy to get wrapped up in men and moments. In the current
election season, for instance, we may see a candidate appearing to embody all
our hopes and dreams (or at least many) and come to assign him country-savior
status. Even the great Thomas Sowell — a man for whom I have tremendous respect
— has called the November choice “the last chance for America.” Yet even if
we do choose the “right” president, it will only amount to a stay of execution.
Many people lament that “Obama has destroyed America these last
eight years” or, alluding to same, will say “I don’t recognize my country
anymore.” This is much like viewing a woman who marries a greasy-haired,
dope-smoking, heavily tattooed and pierced, unemployable reprobate and saying
that her matrimonial decision destroyed her, when the real problem was that she
was the kind of person who could make such a choice in the first place. Do
you really think Obama isn’t a symptom at least as much as a cause? Do you
think the 2008 A.D. America that elected him would have been recognizable to
1950 Americans?
And even if the next president is an anomalous good result, he won’t
even be a pause that refreshes, but will at best slow down the runaway train
racing toward the precipice. This is because our main problems aren’t illegal
migration, trade deals or health care, as significant as those things are. Our
problems are more fundamental…………..
