The recent pirate problem threw into sharp reflect what the current administration and those who belong to that movement have not yet accomplished. They have not, for all the trillions of dollars spent thereon, won the War on Drugs or Poverty. AIDS still ravages Africa. Americans are not buying into the hype of smart cars and super segues. Some of us still describe ourselves as African-Americans or Italian-Americans. Nothing they do has brought the kind of change we need.
Envirostatists like Obama don’t want to solve the problems of climate change, poverty, hunger, disease, racism, or war. If they did, what would they do for a living? Their livelihood and status depend on their being able to remain ensconced as the spokesmen against these evils of society. As such expect no policy or program or idea from them that will actually work. They need the money.
They talk in grand aires without substance. If alternative fuels were such a gold mine, some company would have gone after them. T Boone Pickens relies despite his rosy outlook on government subsidies for his alternative energy program. All the talk about green jobs and green energy are premised on the assumption that some day soon we won’t need oil. Reality tells us otherwise. How are we going to move cargo across the ocean, overland on the highways, and through the air without oil? How will we drive tanks, planes, and ships in wartime? How will we turn the engines of industry? Like it or not solar and wind turbines generate insufficient cranking amps to run any of these things, not to mention being unreliable and intermittent. If you run out of gas, someone can bring you more. What happens if the wind dies or the battle rages far into the night to our fighting men dependent on solar or wind generation?
They are not serious about solving problems. They are serious about preserving their careers, getting elected, getting speaking gigs, and getting donations from those enraged or enflamed with passions about saving other people. Don’t let them prey on your shame and guilt. Alexis DeTocqueville said of us that “America is great because she is good. If America ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.” We are a good nation, the best on the face of the earth. Despite what the president says, we have no need to go around the world apologizing for the motes in our eye while other nations ignore the beam in their own. In fact, they ought to be apologizing to us and thanking God for America.
Ronald Reagan once told of a Cuban acquaintance of his who said Americans are the most unfortunate of people because if America fails we have no place to which we can flee for refuge. America is the last best hope of man on earth.
The President and his people don’t want to solve problems. They take time only for things that they think will advance their own careers, not the cause of the American people. If you happen to catch crumbs from the table, they’ll take the credit, but they do not do what they do for you.
