The path forward

Where do we go from here?

It is a great question and one that must be asked then answered.

Our political landscape is in dire need for remodel. The most recent events prove that the path we are on is not only unmanageable, it is catastrophic. 

Every civilization fails. Every. Single. One. Does that mean that we must follow suit? Must we just properly manage the decline? Is it possible to turn all of this around?

We most certainly can turn it around. Do we have the fortitude to do so? Will we have that fortitude? I cannot answer that question but we can lay out what is necessary and prudent to turn the tide. 

To solve the problem, the answer is not complicated. To accept that answer and apply simple principles to correct the wrong, that is entirely different. 

We have ancient answers to modern problems. There is nothing new under the sun, as is said in that great ancient Text. 

Walk with me as we step through the answers. If we decide to actually right the wrongs? That's entirely up to each individual and their fortitude.

Conservatism

By
Edmund Burke, Portrait  c.  1769 Conservatism is a political and social philosophy that promotes the maintenance of traditional institutions and supports minimal and gradual change in society over time. Check my link page! Core Principles: Conservatism as a philosophy is centered around several core principles: Tradition : Conservatives value the customs, conventions, and continuity of societal organizations as a guide for the present and future. Tradition is seen as a cumulative wisdom of the past that should be honored and preserved. Order and Stability : A stable social order is deemed essential for the well-being of society. Conservatives often emphasize the need for a hierarchical structure and clear authority lines to maintain stability. Individual Responsibility : Personal responsibility and self-reliance are emphasized.

Afghanistan

By
 Foreign policy and geopolitics can be a messy business. It is more messy the more one injects ones nose into someone else's business.  Nation building; more bluntly, empire expansion is costly, and often will fail unless the conquered culture truly accepts its conquered state. Afghanistan is a recent example of this. Trillions of American dollars have been spent on creating and nurturing a democracy. Conspiracy theorist ideas aside, what has happened there is an embarrassment. The majority of Americans, I believe, do feel as though we couldn't be there forever. Pulling out of the country should have been the goal all along, and one should strongly reflect on future occupations of foreign soils after this debacle. I have stated before that we should have never occupied Afghanistan at any point. Leaving is a good idea; how we leave matters. For some reason (maybe nuclear) we, as a country, love Pakistan and there are credible sources who say that most of the problems there are ...
