Stay the Course…

In the “Be careful what you prey for,” category Baltimore learned a lesson about living by the wisdom of the mob.

After the Ferguson riots, the then POTUS Obama met with some of the leaders of the “Black Lives Matter” group who were involved in the burning and pillaging of Ferguson streets. Members of the police dept. were not invited to this meeting and it was downplayed by the mainstream media. I was able to find this sound-only bit in response to what appeared to be his encouraging those who rioted to “Stay the Course!” Stay the course till what? Till they burned down more of their own neighborhood?  Why would the man with the bully pulpit encourage their destructive behavior? Could it be that much of his experience had been as a community organizer?

The Art of Delusion

The friction between reality and fantasy is greatly reduced if you can convince the chump population that we create reality independent of any substance. Modern art is no more than a cognitive exercise in creating quality out of whole cloth. The concept of modern art would be quite ridicules if only one person believed that the modern art was actually art. It takes a little team work to sustain the delusion. So a whole caste was cultivated by the architects of modern popular culture. This “cognitive exercise”.is one of many mantras of the left, targeted to fill the void left behind the wholesale flight of maturity from the American scene. Adolescent idealism and knee-jerk oppositional stance against all authority is a scatter-gun morality made of sound and fury and no more. To live in the lap of luxury and not lift a finger in effort. Meaning without meaningful struggle.

Authority that demands commitment is out. Authority that demands sacrifice or service to a greater purpose is out. Doing what you want is the mission statement of Gen Z. We are lucky it is the last letter in the alphabet. Art is what I call it. Right and wrong is what I decide as I go. So crap is art. Urine is art. Insult of traditions is art. Insult of authority is art. Anything and everything is art.

My spouse and I cared for her father for the last two years of his life. He suffered dementia. Early signs of his progressing brain dysfunction included memory lapses, tremors, large and fine motor dysfunction as well as slurring of speech. Ms. Pelosi, regrettably, shows similar symptoms. Even though I am very much opposed to her politics, (which are slipping farther and farther left), I would wish her no physical harm. .

But Ms. Pelosi’s dubious cognitive and physical problems should be monitored very closely. Too many symptoms,  Too many memory and attention deficits. Too much power in her trembling hands.
