Apocalyptic Nihilism

Am I the only one who thinks somewhere in the great scheme of things that we are setting ourselves up for a nihilistic apocalypse? It seems that we are systematically going about tearing down all our hard won ideals and freedoms, not to mention morals and way of life, both in and out of politics. We have many people practicing apostasy, which is a total desertion or departure from one's religion, principles, party, cause, etc. How can we possibly continue along this path and not come to the same conclusion I did? What is the answer? I was rather hoping it was going to be a new president. It now appears we are going to have more hard times. I have been checking all the candidates’ proposals. I have to say that McCain is the lesser of the evils so to speak. That is a rather sad testament don’t you think? Why, oh why do the two Democratic candidates seem intent upon destroying our country and our economy? Were they both absent in economics 101 the day they covered basics? For crying out loud, the absolute last thing we need right now in our economy is to raise taxes and put more restrictions on the American public. What the hell is it with them? If either of the two democratic candidates would pull their heads out of their butts and actually put forth some cohesive intelligent plans, they might actually win. As it stands the only way they can win is that voters completely ignore their policies and just vote either with their color or their "x" chromosome.
Do they not see the absolute need to confront radicals at every turn? No one ever wants to go to war, or be constantly on the defensive against radicals that wish to obliterate our way of life, but hell man, it is necessary. If evil is not confronted and complacency and or denial is allowed to rule, than we are truly doomed. Just ask a holocaust survivor. When any society allows radicals to have their way without confrontation it always ends in disaster. Just ask the Roman Empire. The list is as long as civilization it self. We don’t need to tell everyone else how to live. What we do need to do is, be ever vigilant in our fight for freedom, which unfortunately includes confronting and if necessary overcoming by force an enemy that has no central organization. That is to say, we will probably never sign anything like the treaty of Ghent or the treaty of Versailles in which there were clearly drawn sides and leaders that could be addressed and dealt with accordingly. With the radicals now our days we may never have a clear-cut victory. Our only sign that we have won will probably be relative safety and peace. In our dilemma we have a kluge of unrelated groups that have only the idea of our destruction in common. Oh yeah, lest we forget, there is always the fact that, their way, is the only way. As I said I have searched high and low to find someone who could pull our bacon out of the fire. In all honesty the only one that I would consider a champion for the people is Newt Gingrich, unfortunately he is not running this time around. All we can hope for is that whoever gets in doesn’t actually screw things up to the point beyond repair and that someone like Newt will come along in four years and bring us out of the darkness into the light.
