RealClearPolicy links to a Kevin Roche who consults in health care and blogs as Healthy Skeptic. His cri de coeur today is perhaps the most pessimistic view of our national future I have yet read. Here are the key points:
We are seeing the fruition of decades of intellectual and spiritual corruption. Now we are paying the price. Now it is too late. It is over for our society and country.
We are living the decline and eventual fall of the United States, which has been the single greatest creator of improved lives all around the globe, the defender of individual freedom and rights.
The Trump indictment is irrelevant. There is no rule of law for anyone. Everything is political. Right skin color, ethnic background, sex, sexual orientation, ideology–you can do no wrong; the government will protect even your most outrageous behavior. Wrong ones, you will be punished.
This current country, this current United States, is dead on its feet.
Roche sees the same slippery slope I see. He believes we’re farther down it than I am yet persuaded is the case. That said, his evaluation could be correct.
