China -- America's Replacement
I will take the weekend to put my list of predictions together so come back on Monday morning to see the list of prediction results from my 2008/2009 blog posts and then on Tuesday, the list of predictions for the end of BHO's second term. Trust me you are going to want to read that list since it will most likely make some of your heads' explode.
Today, I want to discuss a piece I read in one of the Washington DC beltway morning Metro throw-aways: the Washington Examiner, on December 3, 2012 in the Economy section. In this article, the step by step, item by item listing of how China has already approached and will ultimately displace the USA as the world's premier trading partner. Yesterday's discussion of Jeffrey Immelt's support of the China's communistic central planning was a lead-in to this post on how China is doing to the US what the US did to Europe after WWII. In this sad tale, we are the dying dinosaur, and China is the emerging "tiger, tiger, burning bright..." [For those of you without a Renaissance education, there is always Google, ;-) My oldest daughter will get this in a heartbeat.]
China, for Mr. Immelt's edification, only works since along with its "wonderfully working central planning," given its complete and absolute subjugation of its population to where you can only have a state determined number of children, go to their school of choice, work in their choice of jobs, live in their choice of locations, etc. Well now, let's think about this, maybe this would not be so bad a situation if it meant that Mr. Immelt, or Mr. Obama were not in the positions of power in which they find themselves to the destruction of the American way of life that we are being subjected to by their actions.
See, everything has a silver lining to us optimists. Me, an optimist?? Not any longer. I have seen the makings of American's future, and it is nothing to be optimized about in my opinion. However, I will not live to see it come to fruition which is my little joke on them. I do agonize over the world my children and now grandchildren will have to endure, and for my part in not preventing that, I do apologize to them since they will not grow up in a world where their only limitation is their own imagination. Those days are sadly over for America.
The baby boomer generation will be the last generation that will enjoy being born and reared in a society where one could determine their own destiny, walk to their own beat, or build their own dreams. My children and grandchildren will learn what it's like to be told what to do, where to go, how to live, what to say and ultimately what to think. It will be hardest on my children's generation since they have at least tasted the freedoms of American liberty; however, unfortunately for my grandchildren, their now state mandated schooling will "train that right out of them." Already, I can see how the state run public school system in the USA is producing simple minded, non-innovative, bread & circus, low-maintenance citizens of the future. Citizens that believe the government knows better than they do on how to run their lives. So while George got the dates wrong in 1984, his description of what the state imposed collectivism will look like is more reality than fiction. [Yes, again, you will have to Google for my reference to 1984 and George. Seezzzz, it's tough writing to an audience without much educational depth, but what's a genius to do these days in an over abundance of mediocrity?]
