Where are the Answers?

I’ve spoken about this before, but I don’t think I put it across well enough.

People keep asking ‘what we’re supposed to do’, and ‘where the answers will come from’. You’ve seen well enough, by now I’m sure, that suitable resolutions (or even krakens) aren’t going to come from the upper eschelons of state or federal government.

Your answers also aren’t going to come from me. I’m not a citizen of your country, and whilst I’m reasonably well-versed in your culture and history, I have no inherent knowledge of living there under its systems or what your society is really like. I can only point in a general direction at overaching principles; not specifics. But if I may for a moment put myself in the collective group, I have a few words to say.

Bill has often pointed out in his videos that the left likes to offer up the smart ‘intelligentsia’ as the needed leaders to solve problems, but that no number of think-tank members, advisors or consultants can ever outweigh the massed experience, ingenuity and IQ of the citizenry as a whole. And so, we need to look to the people for the answers. But as we have seen lately, if you ask answers from corruptible people (like the sorts of people helping to ‘count’ ballots at State Farm) then you only bring forth ideas that will further corrupt the country.

I recall that Martin Luther King Jr. wanted a world where people were judged on the content of their character. Sadly, over time, his dream and the suggestions of people like Booker T. Washington were ignored; and instead people went along with destructive characters such as Malcolm X who felt that violence and retribution was the only answer.

Over the last 5 decades we have seen an inexorable slide in values and morals as time has passed by. We, like Bill in his earlier videos, have to take the responsibility, the blame, and the shame of allowing the moral fibre of the country to decay. We didn’t do enough to stop it.

 I firmly believe that the founding fathers were good, decent men, inspired by God in the actions that they took. Perhaps there are decent people who can once again be inspired today. Certainly John Adams felt that the republic could not survive without them.

So it is imperative that in order to find the answers that will rescue this country, we seek out those of good moral character and values. These many, true and upstanding Americans will give us the answers we seek to reclaim this country from the ashes.
