As in yesterday, today.
It may be said that once, in the castle on the hill, our America, aspiring politicos and such wished to be just and good and competent folk, true of heart, of standing, sincere in virtue, learned in form and aspiring to bring along and educate a public who was able to respect said the virtues of a good and learned savant.
It may be said that once, in the castle on the hill, our America, aspiring politicos and such wished to be of a stronger stripe than most, of a more sensible stripe than most, of a more mannered and grounded stripe than most. Their rewards were in the exercise of the public trust of governance, the acute and measured use of authority, the wisdom of the ages and the management of the hammers of might and righteousness for the better good. The calling was a firm and stirring song.
It may be said that once, in the castle on the hill, our America, aspiring politicos and such wished to be the ones who set the ships of state and municipality and such in directions necessary and smart, prescient and with use of critical facilities that were honed for the exercise of best of men’s natures and honed with sharp eye to ferret out the worst.
As in yesterday, today.

Stupid as the currency of the realm
Posted in Commentary, current events, News, opinion, political science, Politics with tags Authoritarianism, Critical thinking, Democracy, Government, media, political commentary, politics, power on March 27, 2015 by B SchiffStupid as the currency of the realm
History can march. Wars can be fought, refought, suspended and rejoined. Demigods can come and go. Populations can be buried. Stupid can flourish ….. the race human never tires of the quick fix, the modeled brain, the true word, the all encompassing pacifier of totality, ideology, religiosity, cults of personality, et al and ad infinitem.
Conservative, liberal, fascist, holy holies, orthodoxies burn with the fervor of the by heaven endowed, by might made right, by stupid trained and relieved of the trouble to grapple with a world not in the image of their own pretty, petty poses.
Chaste purity wins souls, active, passionate fumbling souls, non suited to critical thinking souls, souls of minds grasping for second rate, minds dull and void and lost in the critical worlds of knock about and smashing challenge. The lack of doubt of the angels enables all of the aggression self love and self importance that a body could hope for. Our global, national, local town squares. The ones who wait in the wings to use advantages gained. Stupid as the currency of the realm.
