Are we witnessing the failure of the American experiment in government by the people, of the people, and for the people? America today certainly has the look and feel of terminal decline. Meanwhile, America’s enemies, foreign and domestic, are licking their chops.
In our public life, we are witnessing the abandonment of moral understanding and common sense. If there is a future America 定语从句the Founders would recognize, 同位语one still devoted to truth, justice, and the American way, future Americans will look back on this time as a radical departure from everything 定语从句that made America great.
We now have rulers, and our rulers, 分词状语backed by their minions in the press, are lying to us, the better to boss us around.
Science, we are told, has shown 宾语从句that mask mandates by government decree are necessary. But masks are ineffective. Science, we are told, has shown 宾语从句that government must impose radical and unwelcome restrictions on the way we live状语从句 because our planet is overheating. Is this the biggest lie of them all?
It seems we must look to our ruling elite for guidance on more and more and still more. Have you heard the news同位语从句 that we don’t even know how to figure out whether a newborn is a boy or a girl? Here is how Devan Cole, CNN’s breaking news and politics reporter, recently broke the news about this problem: “there is [sic] no consensus criteria for assigning sex at birth.” We can only hope宾语从句 experts get to work on this lack of criteria right away.
As for the 2020 election, the people in government and the media assure us 宾语从句that the election was on the up and up, that Biden was elected fair and square. However, my greengrocer, a likable fellow with little interest in politics and no love for Donald Trump, mentioned to me in passing 宾语从句that the election was obviously stolen. But what does he know? He is no expert. He probably also believes 宾语从句he can figure out whether a newborn is a boy or a girl.
Interestingly, he also believes, without consulting any experts, 宾语出价that stealing an election is wrong. On that, I am with him all the way. 状语从句If we let the people in politics get away with stealing the election and we let the people in the news get away with covering it up, the American way of life may not be long for this world.
