America must fail

There are lessons to be learned in failures. Someone who wants to be successful has failed at what they do, more than once. Failure helps correct and perfect. When metal is super heated it becomes liquid and the impurities can be cleared away. Was it Nietzsche that said survival of the fittest? Even in the human body the place where a facture takes place thickens with extra bone when it heals.

Looking at American history some of our best decades have been the years after our biggest failures. Americans became motivated, tougher, hungrier and powered through the rough economic patch. This was the mistake of the stimulus and the bailouts. The natural selection that is part of a bankruptcy was not allowed to occured to hundreds of companies. Now we see the same bad practices and people in place in corporations that should have gone extinct. Would scientist bring back a T-Rex? Nature chose to perfect reptiles in some more enduring form. Why should we have allowed all thoses banks and private businesses that were responsible for their own shortcomings?

Nature seems cruel and though I believe in God I can see how nature can be used to move us closer to human perfection. The natural processes should be a part of our economic and political philosophy. Reproduction, birth, growth, ageing and death should be seen as a normal part of everything we do. As of yet nothing can be immortal, and to continue to keep a business or a political policy on life support benefits no one. Companies and bad governments must be allowed to fail and die.

Will America die? I am uncertain. Are there currently forces and mistakes being made that are making the US ill that could lead to it's death, yes. I have to admit that I say mistakes just to be polite. I actually feel that the current administration is purposefully creating the climate and conditions that could end our role or position as a world leader. Obama and his kind has for years stated that America has been too arrogant. Obama has stated that we must end American exceptionalism. Progressive policies if allowed to continue will turn us into a borderless land with no true singular identity or distinction. We will become a land of hyphenated Americans.
