People who achieve the most ideal balance of mental and physical fitness — that is, health and happiness — are very likely those individuals who limit their exposure to other members of the human race. They necessarily would be people with resources to burn and time to kill. Or they might be people who simply choose professions that consign themselves to solitude — outer space, outer Mongolia, the Monastery of Ki, or maybe a tree house deep in the Atchafalaya Basin — places where the Orlando atrocity is a non-event. Following the most rigorous mathematical study, you conclude that 0.00001 of the U.S. adult population has currently found this ideal balance. That number comes to a smidgen over 2200 souls. You’re not one of them and don’t know anyone who is. To be sure, ordinary people, wealthy or not, routinely duck the scene, escaping to wealthy enclaves where they insulate themselves from the rabble, ruckus and rhetoric. But that escape is fleeting. Then it’s back to the real world. Chase the buck. Mingle with the rabble. Get caught up in the ruckus. Listen to and participate in the never-ending rhetoric. This is the way it has always been for the 99.99999%. In America, you learned to live in this melting pot, muddle through and survive the chaos. In America, you could always tolerate the freaky, perverted and destructive behavior of fellow humans, because you simultaneously could bank on the illustrious, virtuous and productive behavior of their counterparts. In America, no matter how intensely or violently you clashed with other opinions and attitudes over the state of the Nation, you and your rivals would put aside differences and grievances to lock arms in Her defense. That unity — that common bond — died November 4, 2008. On that day, with B.H. Obama at the wheel, America left Freedom’s highway, took a hard left down a blind alley and has been stuck there ever since. In that alley, Obama shaped his historic legacy. He will be remembered as the first President in history who willfully led the Anti-American Movement. He will be remembered as the POTUS who ripped your country in half, pitting citizen against citizen, inciting hatred, class envy and racism. He will be remembered as the President who never instilled pride, never extolled excellence, never professed love for his country and never shed a tear for Her or for the people who sacrificed themselves to protect Her. And most of all, he will be remembered for intimidating Congress and indoctrinating millions of U.S. citizens to follow his Marxist ideology. Before Barack Obama, Americans would brawl like bull terriers to elect their nominees; but whoever won became President of all the people. When your man lost, you weren’t happy; but you didn’t fear for your country. You had no fear because you knew that the new President was an American before he was Democrat, Republican, White, Black, Yankee or Southerner. Maybe you didn’t agree with his politics, but you would have his back when he proudly carried the American banner to foreign lands. That was yesterday and all of the yesterdays long since gone, perhaps gone forever. Tomorrow is another story. Obama will leave behind a dangerously divided land, a perilously weakened economy and massive distrust. Another President in another time faced a similar outlook — a country torn asunder and Her people filled with animosity, resentment and suspicion. He had this to say: With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation’s wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations. America needs a President who can be trusted to put America first, last and always. To bind up Her wounds, rediscover Her greatness and reclaim Freedom’s highway.
