On Decadence and The Nanny State In America

Those of you who are still in denial about either subject aspects of the decline of our society may find this article illuminating. I hope it at least gives you pause for thought.

A developed society's decline into decadence seems historically inevitable. There is ample evidence that a basic morality, as something fundamentally important to us, has diminished significantly in our society. We've slumped willingly into a materialistic, self-gratifying state of mind that makes us oblivious to what's beneficial or destructive in human nature and which assaults a civil society's well-being.

Just as there's ample proof we've clearly lost a fundamental moral fiber we possessed for 500 years, we need no further proof of losing control of our government than FEMA people referring to themselves as our "federal family". We can no longer doubt that progressives' goal is to establish a nanny state. In fact, they're so cock-sure confident now in their ability and control over us and in our inability or desire to oppose it that they're no longer attempting to hide behind pleasant and patronizing denials, boldly saying it out loud. "Of course we're your nanny, don't you get it? Don't worry, we'll take care of you!"

Do you get it?
