Cold War.

Under the aegis of Fox News, Watters’ World routinely exposes utter failure — that failure is the crippling, or more likely, the collapse of American education. Ironically, the students Watters interviews have immediate and unparalleled access to centuries of  knowledge. They no longer have to pore through library card catalogues or search library shelves to exhume the most obscure fact. They simply activate their devices, enter a couple of keywords and, presto, they have any answer to any question, plus dozens of associated links. Yet, confronted by a Jesse Watters’ grade school question, they show up laughably dumb. On cue, Jesse can’t contain himself. He laughs. So do you. But that feeling in the pit of your stomach says it’s no laughing matter. Not when you fear America’s future is in the hands of nitwits. Millennials live in the Age of Instant Information and arguably will be remembered as the Least Informed Generation. Worse, they don’t seem to care. You would like to relieve Watters just one time at some well known college campus, to ask one question: “Who fought the Cold War?” You have a few bucks that say 4-5 random interviewees wouldn’t have a clue. You picked that question for a reason — to segue to the following assertion: America, unknowingly, at this moment, is in the midst of a second Cold War. However, this Cold War isn’t a state of political and military tension that exists among world powers — a standoff that follows the cessation of battle and bloodshed. This is a domestic Cold War between Two Americas — one dedicated to preserving the core values and immutable laws and principles of the country’s founding documents — the other dedicated to further transforming the United States into a Socialist State. This country has split into two hostile camps. This is no ordinary divide. This is no ordinary political year. And there is no common ground. America is once again engaged in Civil War — for now, a Cold War — equally as desperate and impassioned as the Civil War which allegedly ended in April, 1865. That war ripped apart families, made enemies of friends, produced over a million casualties and demolished a flourishing land. The 2016 Cold War has no demarcation line. The combatants are not separated by North, South, East or West. The combatants work together, eat together, live together, worship together. The combatants are now engaged in a war of words. The combatants are testing whether this nation, or any nation, conceived and dedicated to liberty, can long endure. With apologies to Abe, you must avoid the tendency to exaggerate. America will endure. But reality suggests, in a very short while, America will be unrecognizable to those who know and value Her history — Her conception, doctrines and articles of faith. In his fun rambling about, Jesse Watters looks for evidence to prove that America is in good hands — and repeatedly finds them empty. Not funny.
