Its Rachel Maddow and Jeremiah Wrights country. You know that divorced fortysomething female neighbor of yours? The one whos not half as bright as she thinks she is, and doesnt know much about Libya or the national debt, but watches Katie Courics new show and just kind of didnt like Romney because she, well, just kind of didnt like him? America is now her country. Its Dingbatville.
America has chosen not to tolerate death and taxes, but to embrace them.
We need to stop confusing our country with our God, even as we stop denying that our fellow citizens can invite the devil into their souls. The best thing for those on the right to do in the next few weeks is to shut the hell up, retreat into a quiet place, meditate and pray. Either that or go out and have some fun and forget about politics for a good long while. Because America is not God. Empires and republics rise and fall. Economies collapse. It happens. The breathless, relentless conservative media machine has to stop and focus on something else. Hannity needs to have some writers and musicians on his show. Go outside, people. See a movie. Create some art something conservatives dont support and frankly suck at. Stop tweeting. For the next few weeks Im going to be listening to music, reading comics, and photographing models sometimes all at once. I hear the new James Bond flick is pretty good.
The truth is, we may have to watch while our country becomes Greece, because a majority of Americans have decided that that is what they want. They care more about their racial identity and getting free stuff than they do about Benghazi although if there is one bright spot in the election, its that race hustlers and professional victims have at last and forevermore lost the ability to blame their problems on racist America. (Confused MSNBC hipster Touré claimed that Barack Obama was niggarized in this campaign, meaning dehumanized and treated at the other, but if anyone was the victim of this it was Mitt Romney.)
The unrestricted abortion license will continue, because a majority of Americans have voted for a man who defends infanticide. Several states including my home state, Maryland have changed the definition of marriage, and it will not stop there. It will soon be illegal to oppose same-sex marriage, even for Christians. The media will become even more brazen in covering up for the president and shaming those who dont agree. Our debt will mount, and our credit rating will fall. In a couple hundred years, Americas heavily censored school textbooks will record conservatism as a freak aberration. It will get a couple pages between the chapters on FDR and Barack Obama.
None of this is to say there should be no resistance. People of faith and courage dont just lay down and die. Conservatives can participate in civil disobedience, we can protest. As Gandhi said, They may torture my body, break my bones, even kill me. Then they will have my dead body, but not my obedience.
But until it comes to that, let go of politics for a while. Be a true conservative and accept the reality of the world we now live in. America has been fundamentally transformed. God has not.
