Arch de Failure

Shelby Steele and a personal insight compels me to write. America may forever be known for its ‘arch de failure.’ The protesters and leaders of the 60's have become the political architects of today’s Obama administration. The child of the 60's, is President Barack Obama and in the 21st. century he embodies all the false ideas of the 60's. 60's leftovers in Washington and the ruling class have become the main course in today’s politics of socialism, radicalism and Europe’s version of liberty, equality and fraternity. Liberals’ bad faith has quickly and dramatically impelled America up the arch of failure as a nation.

The arch appeared slowing on the horizon after World War II. The West had fought and won against the evils of Marxism, Communism, repression, persecution, socialism, Fascism, radicalism and Godless society. Yet not long after victory in Europe and the East, victorious countries, though devastated and depleted by war, started up the liberal road to ruin. Welfare and wealth re-distribution as well as government control and intrusion slowly became the preferred norms. 60 years later, Europe rides the crest of the arch of failure. America lead by Obama, also aspires to reach the top.

Yes, Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher, in America and Great Britain respectively, temporarily staved the flow of liberal blood, but a cure for the liberal disease was not achieved because the necessary and complete dosage of conservative medicine was not taken.

The ‘arch de failure’ can only be defined as the triumph of the dictatorship of the welfare state. This is ironic but typical of liberal thought and action. Irony and hypocrisy characterize their ruling style. All things are not what they seem. Two legs bad, four legs good become two legs good, four-legged conservative enemies bad.

Germany, Japan and Russia, Cuba, France, etc., historically collapsed under the weight of violent revolutions. In America’s velvet revolution in progress, governmental controls facilitate our turn on the wheel of progress, our rise up the ‘arch de failure.’

It has come to this November’s mid-term elections. Like riders stuck on the top of a Ferris wheel, tea partiers, conservatives and Constitutional patriots scream, ‘take us down, take us down, take our beloved country down from this ‘arch de failure.’
