AN “INCURABLE SYNDROME”
by OPOVV, ©2013
(Dec. 10, 2013) — They call it predisposition, as if we’re slaves to Fate and not the Captain of our destiny. Well, at least to a certain extent, because I wasn’t born with a silver spoon nor was I the heir to the throne to be the King of Siam. But then again, I wasn’t born so I’d serve in the jungles of Burma during World War II or herded into the Treblinka concentration camp. I am, as you and all of us are, products of our environment to a degree, but not to the “nth” degree.
At some point while a human matures, usually during the “terrible twos,” they come to realize that the world doesn’t revolve around them and them alone. Maybe the exception would be the favorite son of an Egyptian Pharaoh, but most of us finally understand that we must behave in a responsible manner in order to get along. Some years later we realize that if we don’t work, we don’t eat.
However, there’s a part of the human brain that may remain trapped in the “terrible twos,” never moving forward, never maturing, never closing the door on childhood dependency. These people mature physically and even intellectually, but part of them is locked in time, in a crib of their making, either unable to escape because they lack the intelligence, the desire, or are content where they are within themselves. These people are the followers, the listeners, the reactionaries, the marchers, the banner-wavers, the cheering squad. Well, we all can’t be Chiefs; at least that’s what we’ve been told all of our lives.
Okay, maybe we all can’t be Chiefs, but you and I can; we can be Chiefs. I’m a Chief and if you want to be a Chief too, go ahead; be a Chief. Fine with me. How! But what separates us from the “others” is that we got past the “terrible twos,” while the rest of America has been left behind, standing on the railroad platform as the train is disappearing in the distance, forever gone.
Wahhhh! That’s right: GONE, as in “Gone for Good,” NEVER to return. The afflicted ones, those with the “Terrible Two Syndrome,” our OBOTS failing to understand the fine print on the contract: a person is responsible for the consequences of his decisions, which is why, when all is said and done, Obots fail to understand the most basic moral issues.
For instance, being “pro-America,” “pro-Constitution,” and “pro-Second Amendment” does not automatically make one a racist. Being against Obamacare does not make one a bigot. Supporting Veterans does not make one against common sense. BUT, Obots will forever fail to comprehend the simplest of concepts because they’re infused with an incurable syndrome: “Terrible Two Forever Syndrome,” never getting out, forever trapped, forever failing to understand that the Constitution is for everyone’s protection, which is a concept so foreign to their brain that they’ll never be able to see it. Never. Ever. Such is the sorry and sad life of an Obot, forever trapped in the “Terrible Twos,” can’t out, can’t get over it, and can’t figure out why.

Okay, that explains about the OBOTS. What about those who claim Constitutional Conservatism yet can’t recognize that many of their own positions support the downfall of the very thing they claim to support? It’s like they just can NOT see that their dependence on and trust, to one degree or another, in government entities goes hand in hand with what the globalists are trying to achieve. I get so frustrated trying to explain the importance of certain things, eg. history, to people who claim to be on the side of right but refuse to make any adjustments in their lives to quit promoting and supporting the very things that are contributing to the fall of our Constitutional Republic. People who are reasonably intelligent and know somewhat of what is going on. Or at least, they know that something is wrong, yet they can’t accept anything you try to explain to them about just what it is that IS wrong. And more importantly, how it got that way. It’s like they don’t realize that history is the foundation upon which today stands. And not only do they try to defend the status quo, at least THEIR part of the status quo, they refuse to even listen to any alternative views of history, claiming what does it matter now? What on God’s green earth do you say to people like this? Especially when it’s people you love?
Our families aren’t the only divided families in our country. I suppose a similar situation arose during the Civil War. Surely not 100% of the Southerners wanted war, and surely there were some in the North who couldn’t care less if the South jumped off a cliff.
In my own family I’m the original Black Sheep and when we do run across one another from time to time, the subject of “politics” is avoided at all costs, which is a shame, because each of us has standing in the welfare of America.
Only trouble is, they don’t give a damn about the welfare of America. For all they care, it can jump off a cliff.
I disagree, but, thus far, I’ve found no common ground in which to approach the subject rationally.
And therein lies the problem. In their cloistered little world, “constructive criticism” is answered with calls of “Bigot!” and “Racist!”.
Heaven forbid if the subject of the BIRTH CERTIFICATE should ever come up, as it did, once.
Pandemonium! Sacrilege! Cries of “God help us!” rang loudly. I was waiting for them all to gnash their teeth and growl, to bay at the moon. Believe me, it was a sight to behold. Wouldn’t have missed it for a million dollars.
Nor, do they want to.
