Second Rate America
America has become a dysfunctional
nation. Evidence for this thesis is omnipresent. From the space program to our
school systems this nation is no longer competitive on the World Stage. Falling
from its high perch wasn’t easy. Government entities worked especially hard to
downgrade every institution and industry in the country. With a hundred billion
dollar space station orbiting the Earth, United States astronauts must hitch a
ride with the Russians. Poor planning and reduced appropriations to NASA led to
this tragic downgrade. Worse, many of their best scientists may not have jobs
for long. Compared to foreign students their American counterparts score
multiple levels below them on math and science tests. Diluted curriculums and
lack of emphasis on the importance of education have contributed to this
downward slide in academics. Traditional
morality established by religion and strong family values, has given way to a
multi-dimensional culture which has forgotten its foundations. A nation, in
order to be a concrete entity, must have the elemental basis to keep itself
strong. One of our finest radio show hosts’ Michael Savage noted: “borders,
language and culture” are the keys to defining who we are and where we have
been. There are those in our government who desire to subvert our culture with
ridiculous laws to satisfy a small group of deviants. Our military, one of the
finest in the World, has become a social experiment that dishonors the very
essence of its reason for existence. Survival of the American experiment
depends on a strong military. The Executive Branch’s intrusive incursion into
the fundamental fabric of our armed forces has degraded our capacity to defend
the nation when called upon to do so. Fundamental changes are needed in the
central government to revitalize a country that has been torn from within. Time
has come to put America first again and place people in power who think
likewise. Americans’ acumen of choosing its political representation has
faltered over the last decade. 2014 could reenergize the American dream. Let’s
hope sense and sensibility returns to the electorate. Mark Davis, MD President
