Elections Are Aproaching

If you have read some of my most recent postings, you may have come to recognize that one of the tenets of modern pop-ideology – of which both Bush and Obama are adherents – is that borders no longer matter. This goes along with the trend marked by an erosion of property rights. Hence, we do not defend our borders and we hold the hapless owner - whose home may have been violated by an uninvited intruder - responsible for any harm that may have accrued to the interloper. The condemnation of Israel for attempting to protect its borders is nearly universal.

In truth, it has become impractical to protect one’s borders as nationalism has faded in importance and ideology has taken its place. Ideology knows no borders. It eddies and pools wherever the like-minded happen to reside. For them, borders represent an anachronism that is no longer worth defending.

Trouble along the border has assumed the status of a pernicious video game challenge to which we routinely sacrifice half-measures – as has war in general. Anyway, this is how it reads in the academic texts carefully studied in our colleges and universities. Unfortunately (for us), the rest of the world is not quite so advanced. They are still inclined to play by the old rules. They see our border travails as a breach by which to infiltrate and capture territory. They have plenty of useful idiot help from inside.

Europe has long ago succumbed to this one-world pop-ideology. The Eurozone was the result. Europe now finds itself threatened by economic collapse in Greece [as well as in several other countries (PIIGS)]. The disaster could have been easily predicted. Submarines and oil tankers are built in a series of chambers. Should one chamber rupture, it can be sealed off to prevent catastrophic damage to the rest of the ship.

But, never mind. Chaos along our border areas has become yet another tool in our rogue government’s hands. It represents yet another fuse lit that could ignite the whole nation - giving the government cause to crack down on all of us. Totalitarianism is on the march. No wonder, this administration is so eager to stir the pot where and whenever it can. Elections are approaching.
