Those who love the United States should be quaking in their boots right now. Why? We are living on the ruins of every great nation from our history and that history tells us that the fall of each and every one of those mighty and seemingly indestructible nations came from within. Some smart people before me determined that “the bigger you are the harder you fall”. The tea party movement with its penchant for a revolutionary cry and the violence that plagues the present political landscape have turned our time into one that is most favorable for uprisings and violent upheavals. No matter how you frame any of the present day arguments, the basic tenets of every segment of the American States is that of love for the nation that transforms itself into how it cares for its peoples. This violent rhetoric has strayed far from that and can in no way be considered the voice of reason. Reasonably, “The Patient Protection and Affordable Healthcare Act” should by no rationale have given place to the kinds of uproar that is deafening the political landscape. This just brings joy to those out there who seek to harm what started off as a nation that had always sought to move on the next democratic step to seek the welfare of its people. It brings joy to them because what is been delivered out there and what they ultimately see is a nation deeply divided against itself, a nation not even willing to listen to a voice of reason...and we all know what happens to a house divided against itself...
On a broader scale, it also raises a further reaching question of how the American State can reach out and try to influence the modern day issues of the Israel/Palestine conflict, the Iran Nuclear capability, the genocide in Sudan, the economic concessions of the European Union member states and the continued growth and expansion of the Chinese economic might when it cannot decide amongst its own people whether or not to improve the public health policy that most if not all agree is exploitative if not wholly inefficient?
