At one point leaders actually were able to lead because the people respected them. They were strong and led with conviction and passion. The people looked up to them, and that is why democracy worked for a while. The truth is democracy only works as long as the people who apply freedom to their society are willing to enforce rules to protect those freedoms. Yes freedom requires rules, freedom requires diligence, freedom requires participation, freedom requires respect for others and the rule of law. Democracy and freedom are not the same thing , but they do go hand in hand, ideally.
To truly have a free society that works you have to have people in it who are willing to abide by certain rules, whether they may agree or not. If the people are willing to abide by some limited statutes, that provide people freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, freedom of worship, freedom to do business, then the society will function. Then leaders can keep control over the infrastructure of the nation pertaining to commerce, and national security, leaders should not be society builders. When leaders lead, they garner respect and that leads to cooperation.
In todays world our leaders are weak and pathetic, look at Europe, look at our current president, weak and politically correct. In todays society we have enough people disrespecting the laws of the land that the free society is breaking down, quickly. There are people and criminals who know that law enforcement is spread so thin that certain crimes no longer get addressed, this conditions the criminals to push the envelope a little harder. At the same time we the people want justice, but even when we arrest criminals with their fingers in the cookie jar we have lawyers who use the justice system in unintended ways, they know right from wrong yet use word games to manipulate the meanings of the laws, whether in word or spirit. So the criminal gets off on a "technicality" in the wording of the accusation. The laws intended to constrain social behavior are being manipulated to allow criminals more latitude with no real punishment.
Todays politicians will get up on the podium and tell you that they are out for the welfare of the nation. They cant admit that they have no control over even their own welfare. If society was working would politicians and pop icons need large entourages of gun toting security personnel? Politicians see society breaking down, they surround themselves with security. Then their fear goes to wanting to take everyones guns away, knowing full well the criminals will still have guns. They also know if they try to collect the guns from the American people that a large percentage of us will become criminals, immediately. I don't believe the fear of the citizens having weapons is limited to just one party, politicians are evil magicians. How else could the Democrat party make itself the the party of minorities, up until the 1920s they would not allow black people or any other people of color into their party, now that is a trick!
At one point society respected law enforcement because law enforcement represented the leadership of the land. People were happy to be good to one another. Honesty, believe it or not, did prevail at times. During the California gold rush men left sacks of gold in their tents unattended and there was no unstoppable crime wave. People respected the laws, because the laws represented their belief in their leaders, their community, their neighbors and themselves. Respecting the law was and is good. Changing laws was and is good, to help them remain contemporary with societies norms. What we have now is a generation of young people who were apparently raised by unhappy malcontents who blamed all of their misery on others, never taking accountability for their own failures, someone owes them, that is what they think, that is what they teach. Now society is in trouble, with all the malcontents and their children breaking the laws and encouraging others to do the same, law enforcement cannot contain this, which shows weakness all the way up to the top leaders of the land. Without the cooperation of the people, the laws are useless and almost unenforceable, making politicians useless, unless they are offering something for nothing.
Our society in the USA is coming to a point where civil war is quite possible. There are not enough people who desire harmony to stop what is coming, everyone wants what they want the devil be damned. No one is willing to do for the better of the many, we don't have selfless people as role models, we make selfish self centered and self absorbed people heroes. We have an entire generation of people who have an entitlement attitude, which was taught them by their parents, who were taught by their leaders. At some point in time someone or something took control over raising our children, took it right out of the parents hands. Government indoctrination, not unlike Nazi Germany, done in subtle ways, using pop culture to manipulate and orchestrate, using pop culture to lay the ground work. Why else would so many Hollywood idiots threaten to leave the USA if Donald Trump wins the presidency. These Hollywood "stars" would leave because they are no longer part of the agenda or what drives it. Politicians using Hollywood to portray the world they intend to build, Hollywood using politicians to legitimize itself. A lose lose scenario. Politicians and Hollywood actors live in Ivory Towers, they may know how to speak down to us, but they know nothing of what it is like to live in the real world. Telling commoners to save water while they have 22,000 sprinklers in their lawn, telling people to reduce their carbon footprint while flying a 707 up the coast for hamburger, preaching global warming while flying around the world, driving in massive caravans of gas guzzling SUVs, chastising Americans for not taking in refugees when you have 7 mansions and have taken in no one, never having a real job in the real economy then telling we the people who struggle in that economy that his solution to all that ails us is taking more of what we have to work for, those are actors and politicians. They are the elite welfare class, they receive the most money for being the least productive human beings on the planet, then they think to dictate to the ones who hire them, nay grant them the privilege to work for the them. To be clear, them is us. Actors and politicians fleece the people.
It won't be long until everyone realizes we either take back our society, doing whatever needs to be done, or we will enter a time that will make the dark ages look like the renaissance. We either stop the political correctness and call a criminal a criminal or the criminals will rule society. The truth is it has gone so far now that there will be more than an argument over how to correct this. The criminals actually write the laws currently. The people, at some point in the nations history, looked away for a moment and freedom was hijacked. The very politicians tasked by the people to do the peoples work are the ones complicit in the theft of our freedom. When you take money from hard working citizens to give to whomever you wish, with no thought of the welfare of the nation, you are a thief. Politicians are liars and thieves and they are contributing to the demise of our free society out of sheer greed. They all belong on a garbage barge, tarred and feathered sent down the Potomac to the sea, where an armada of mad citizens wait armed with dirty diapers and catapults.
