CliffIt is a popular activity these days to exchange insults and criticize along partisan lines while jousting about the direction of our nation, but unfortunately that does absolutely nothing to fix the extraordinary problems coming our way. Generally, the exchange centers on justifying the horrendous and destructive agenda of our current Government by pointing to the bad decisions of the previous Administration. These justifications and criticisms are irrelevant and useless since they are focused on the past therefore little attention is being directed to the destructive proposals going on right now. Also, many of the criticisms are universally shared anyway, it may come as a surprise that many conservatives are disenchanted with a host of the previous Administration’s policies as well, thus arguing them are just distracting from the real issues that are threatening our nation today. The partisan banter is analogous to the band playing on the Titanic’s fateful night, it may have been gratifying, but that did nothing to prevent the ship from sinking.

It is very difficult to comprehend how we will navigate our way out of the formidable circumstances we have brought upon ourselves. This is the challenge that each citizen should be concerned with at this time. People can incessantly argue their respective conservative or liberal positions while asserting blame about our predicament all they want, but the bottom line is that significant changes are being considered and implemented right now that will fundamentally affect the future direction of this nation, and we need to focus on these activities. We all need to wake up and pay attention because regardless of ideology, both conservatives and liberals will be going over the cliff by the devastation that is being laid before us. Like it or not, everyone will suffer as the nation declines, and this approaching reality is what should be of concern to each and every one of us at this time. The decline of our nation is being set into motion, and if all we are going to do is squabble about ideology, then we may as well go ahead and strike up the band?
