Three months in, we can see the second Obama administration for what it is. The nation isn’t falling. It’s fallen.

The pattern isn’t conspiracy per se. It’s a kind of malignant opportunism. Whatever happens that can be used as a distraction from no growth, no jobs, no way out of an unexpected and unnecessary depression will be leveraged to the max. This is how it’s done when all the right pieces are in place.

Polls seem to indicate that people don’t care much about gun control or immigration reform, but the shiny objects are professionally dangled by the media and there are too few voices of conscience to stem the tide of bullshit news.

In the educated class, there is no more conscience. Just post-modern relativist rhetoric. In the rest of the population, there is no knowledge of economics, not even faint understanding of statistics. The U.S. experiences a little more than 8,000 gun deaths a year. About 250,000 abortions are performed every year. What’s important? Gun deaths, obviously.

Sandy Hook is wall to wall, and the Gosnell trial is an invented right-wing cause. Now terrorist bombs literally tear innocent Americans to pieces, and the press’s only hopeful speculation is that it’s the ghost of Timothy McVeigh. Which it might be. But that’s far less significant than the fact that the gigantic apparatus of the Department of Homeland Security has no idea what the hell happened. They read our emails, listen in on our phone calls, construct vast mysterious databases, harass and humiliate us at airports, and they know nothing? They plead for help, some clue, some lead? Really?

While our joke president plays golf and parties with Beyonce and Jay-Z.

I’m here to tell you what no one else will, not even the conservatives and Tea Partiers who keep getting suckered into the same cynical transparent game. It’s the economy, stupid.

Absolutely everything else is just bullshit. Creating more dependency on government. Until no one has a spine left.

And no more inkling of where right and wrong might lie. Just nobles and serfs.

What will we get out of the deal? Marijuana! And a lot less of that distressing God talk.

Hallelujah.
