How Did We Become So Stupid?

By Rich Kozlovich

290 Years! That's the collective number of years Senator's Feinstein, Schumer, Leahy, Representative Waters, President Biden and Speaker Pelosi have been in government, but according to them none of that matters because everything that's gone wrong is Trump's fault, and everything he did right is either ignored or repealed.

Politicians, as a group, are now and have always been, pretty much held in contempt.  And that contempt came about the old fashioned way. They earned it!  However, some things go far beyond mere politics in that they're so insane, so corrupt, so contemptible and so detrimental to the nation those actions border on treason. 

History is the fountain head of truth, and truth once spoken remains truth forever, we just have to keep making ourselves acquainted with it – regularly – or we forget what it is and can be easily swayed by every new philosophical flavor of the day! 

I’ve used this quote often in the past attributed to Marcus Tullius Cicero (106 -43 BCE) , which is unendingly profound, even after 2000 years, the only thing is....he didn't really say it.  It's not 2000 years old, it's more like sixty years old, but does it matter?  The thoughts resonate with logical and intellectually vibrancy, no matter who said them, or when!

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”

There is a growing alliance between the media, the wealthy left,  academia, leftist activists, activist bureaucrats, unscrupulous politicians and people who believe they will benefit from this treason.  

Society has been inundated with falsehoods perpetrated by that unholy alliance of media and academic scaremongers, corrupt deep state bureaucrats (Including those in the intelligence community), vote seeking politicians and profit seeking vested self interests to convince Americans they have all the answers and the only way for America to be saved is to abandon the Constitution and place all power in their hands, and it appears 40% of Americans are buying to the belief socialism is worth trying.  The only problem is once it's tried it fails!  Always!   In spite of the fact that failure leaves dystopia in it's wake, it never goes away.  Always!

That's history and that history is incontestable.
