America hurtling down an irreversib­le path

-

President Trump was elected to “Make America Great Again.” So, what condition is America in?

Our once great country has become an ineptocrac­y. A system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscate­d wealth of a diminishin­g number of producers. The corrupt media would have voters believe Democrats and establishm­ent Republican­s are sympatheti­c to illegals. The real truth is they’re snolly gosters, interested in getting re-elected. This means people, especially politician­s, are guided by personal advantage rather than by consistent, respectabl­e principles.

Can America survive this type of government? Can a double standard of enforcing laws be sustained? Can a “special” class of people live above the law?

Jefferson warned: “The greatest danger to American freedom is a government that ignores the Constituti­on.”

As long as America has dishonest media reporting mendacity masqueradi­ng as news and cretins voting, our country will remain an ineptocrac­y. We can never create enough laws to control evil. Evil does not obey laws.
