Drowning in Technology America's IQ moves down a notch

Drowning in technology America’s IQ moves down a notch

 

Smart cars, smart phones, smart homes and more yet this generation of Americans are one of the dumbest in decades. Schools no longer cater to improving the intellect of the students in their charge. Instead educational efforts are geared towards improving test scores. Why sweat a math problem when a handheld device can perform the task in seconds. Why devour a book when a quick summary is available with the flick of a finger. Most important of all why learn when a machine can spit out an answer to a question in the blink of an eye. High School level curriculums barely teach students the basics needed to further their lives and educations. Colleges have picked up the slack offering remedial courses to bring new arrivals up to speed. Standard tests to compare learning skills and intellect are being phased out or ignored in the admission process to collegiate environments. Abandonment of comparative standards provides the illusion that all students are intellectually on the same level. Schools know the latter is not true. In our socially sensitive society merit and hard work have been subverted to allow slackers to gain a footing into environments in which they were formally excluded.  

 

Graduate programs are reviewing more applications from foreigners than native born individuals. One program director noted the sciences are hardest to recruit within the American pool of candidates seeking higher degrees. As a result large tech companies find themselves searching overseas for apt candidates to fill positions that formerly went to Americans a mere generation ago. Primary and Secondary schools lack the curriculums to instill creativity into this generation of students. Therefore students are more likely to service machines than create them. Technological innovation tends to come from foreign incubators. The devices that keep us in touch with reality emanate from facilities far from the cultural delinquents whose only job is to sell them. I have no great expectations when I visit electronic outlets here on the mainland.  Clerks know little of the technology they push on the public. When a problem arises from one of these devices I am usually referred to an archaic reference on the net not someone close at hand. America has lost its edge in many areas. Clearly most Americans no longer have the mental tools to compete with foreign populations in the technologic realm. Technology, paradoxically, has eroded intellect in a society already on the skids educationally, culturally and morally. Those who are not cognizant of the world around them are easily misled and manipulated.  In the event this was the ambition of those who created this environment then they succeeded.

Devoid of Leadership America looks elsewhere

Devoid of leadership America looks elsewhere

 

America is starving for leadership. Weakness has been the center piece of the Obama Administration. Lacking backbone and a clear vision for this country President Obama has faltered on the international stage and at home. Current political philosophy trends away from democratic principles towards a vacuum of logic denying the reality before us. Recently Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, awoke this sleeping giant to the threatening surge of terrorism which could reach ours shores soon. His intuitive speech to Congress was not only elegant and informative it pointed to an enemy that is engulfing large segments of the Middle East. For over forty minutes the Prime Minister described the true nature of terrorism which in recent times has killed thousands including many Americans. Those lucky enough to be seated before him were provided with spectacular glimpse of a war we should and must become involved. He noted the face of the enemy has many names yet one goal to devour all those who oppose their religious extremism. Netanyahu’s primary mission on American soil may have come with a personal price to himself here and at home. Yet he felt the moral imperative to state his case. Netanyahu noted any agreement with Iran, to stop their nuclear program, would end in a catastrophe for both our nations. Sadly, too many, did not heed the call to listen to his words. http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2015/03/02/netanyahu-iran-speech-why-it-important-for-congress-to-at-least-listen-to/

 

President Obama, in the aftermath of Netanyahu’s speech, was resolute that his negotiations with Iran would proceed. He is oblivious to numerous indicators that his efforts would fail badly. As sponsors of terrorism globally Iran has displayed it wants war over diplomacy.  Leadership is not Obama’s strong point. Blindly pursuing a negotiated path with this rogue nation is incongruous with the terroristic reality that lies before this country. The underpinnings of weak leadership in the present Administration have driven this nation in the wrong direction providing our enemies with an edge at the expense of our friends. When the United States could have made a difference in the Middle East Obama’s silence was deafening. As ISIS and its affiliates engulf large sections of this area they are aware of their friend in the White House. Netanyahu is a World leader bent on protecting his country from any and all enemies that comes to their gates. Obama’s inclination is antithetically different. He invites the enemy in to dismantle the infrastructure of a nation that has shed too much blood in war. http://nypost.com/2015/03/01/why-obamas-iran-deal-is-a-path-to-war/ Leadership is pivotal to successful nation building and its defense. America is devoid of leadership. Yet for a moment in time everyone stood still as a real leader addressed Congress.

President Rambo Sticks it to America

President Rambo sticks it to America

 

As the nation mourns its loss of democracy President Obama moves closer to fascism. Disinclined to reign within constitutional limits Obama exploits a lame Congress that enables him through their silence. Mesmerized by the President’s consolidation of power a willing media denigrates anyone bold enough to criticize him. Moving forward on multiple fronts simultaneous the Administration is challenging anyone or group to stop them. Expansive immigration through the southern border was emboldened by a recent Executive Order. Millions who crossed “illegally” were given legal basis to stay on American soil and collect an array of entitlements. Congress responded by withholding funds from Homeland Security so this Order could not be implemented. The tug of war on immigration was taken out of Congressional hands by 2 dozen states that challenged Obama’s edict in federal court. In powerful overtones Obama declared he was right and would veto any legislation attempting to curtail his efforts in this area. Essentially establishing the basis for a dictatorship the President is pursuing a path which failed for a thousand who came before him.

 

Implicit in Obama’s overreach is control. Manifestations of this control can now be seen in the President’s latest gambit, Internet control. Unelected officials in the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) have empowered themselves to usurp the net from the public with 331 pages of regulations. Similar to Obamacare no one was allowed to review this FCC doctrine until after the vote of the commissioners. Reportedly every facet of Internet use from the provider to the end user will have some form of control. Whatever the final outcome we can surmise Obama’s henchman will dictate how we interact on the net and who we connect with. Information flow which is now free could be taxed ad nauseam. Perhaps all users will need licenses to hook in. Tyrants want control. Their first step is to limit weapons in the hands of the masses. Second is information control. With these two elements in place internal security takes over. My concern, which might be a stretch, will Obama attempt to suspend the next election allowing him to remain in office. History recycles on itself. With a lame Congress and a docile population the backdoor for Obama’s retention in office may not be as absurd as it sounds. President Rambo has been unstoppable so far. Will anyone step up to the plate and state the obvious?

America: A Historical Tour Without Revision

America: a historical tour without revision

 

Dinesh D’Souza hit another homerun with his new political documentary America. Within the solitude of an empty theater I watched D’Souza’s presentation as he knocked down the walls of revisionist history which is the currency of so many who lean to the left. D’Souza challenges the audience to understand the consequences if certain historical events had moved in another direction. This is exemplified by the British winning the Revolutionary War and Germany developing nuclear weapons before America obtained them. Prevailing teachings on slavery are expanded setting aside numerous untruths utilized by those who sell racism for a living. Acknowledging that America’s westward movement was done by conquest he displays how its former inhabitants accrued their lands in a similar fashion. America provides a glimpse of many lives that became fruitful by hard work and perseverance as opposed to the entitlement mentality which is prevalent throughout the country. President Lincoln is held in high regard for successfully managing a war that changed the face and texture of this nation. As a leader facing a divided country the question of slavery was finally put to rest under his tutelage. Lincoln is portrayed as person who mends political fences as opposed to President Obama whose actions are antithetically the opposite. Interviews with those who overcame extreme adversity flesh out the reasons why so many risk so much to cross our borders. Especially noteworthy was D’Souza’s ability to put a face on those who are affected by Obama’s irrational policies. A point is a made noting the substance of current legislative efforts is a fraudulent attempt to undermine every institution, industry and tradition which has brought strength to this nation. D’Souza is intent on telling a story how progressives destroy instead of build leaving conservatives to take the blame when the worst possible outcomes occur. America raises the bar on political documentaries by presenting complex subject matter in a comprehensible format. D’Souza has brought America home. This movie will change the way you think about this nation and yourself. A must see.

Politicians Angels and Demons

Politicians, angels and demons

 

America’s transformative culture, induced by its wanton government, is sending a clear message to Americans and the World at large, we are not in Kansas anymore. More than five years down path of this nation’s metamorphosis sense and sensibility has been demonized giving way to lawlessness, immorality and the politics of deceit. God is no longer the driver in the American Universe. He has been replaced by contentious and problematical policies that debase religion and our sense of self-worth. Structural family dynamics, once the strength of this nation, have been subverted to be replaced by a new multi-dimensional family lacking the qualities of its former self.  In this new national paradigm natural rights denied to us under the former yoke of a monarchy are once again being challenged. Intervention into our lives, by intricately written legislative manifestos, subtend our Constitutional base with boundaries placed on its utilization and function. Decline is evident throughout the national landscape led by shepherds with hellish desires to expedite America into a new frontier estranged from democratic principles. Those who we thought were ardent believers in a government by the people and for the people have refused to participate in this principle. Deranged as their mentation is they are able to retain power through past historical achievements not from their current subservient attitudes to the Executive branch. Politicians entrench the larger organizational front by collectively attacking the very base who placed them in power. Recent dialogues from a few senators display a near irrational desire to beat down the voices of those loyal to a free society. Collectively Americans have been duped into believing all is well with the World except for a few malcontents who are steadfast that only the Constitution should lead us into the future not rule by fiat. Social Darwinism is the key to the chicanery from the left. Duplicity mired in social conventions has evolved to enable the inept and indolent to achieve beyond those who earned their way by merit. Politicians are the central reason America will be remembered as a once great nation. Why? Because they will claim before the Almighty the devil made them do it.
