Self Select:                       Advance        Achieve         Accomplish           x  Disappear

 

 

As our super duper digitized society drifts steadily downward from earned prosperity to contrived bankruptcy one grating feature that we must contend with  now is the odious presence of  ‘cellophane nobodies’ – that mewling, grinning ilk whose approach  to life is to  DISAPPEAR  in any difficult situation, no matter how small and never mind about – personal excellence.  The squirmers are multiplying , and they are a harbinger of future trouble for Our Country of Goodness and Decency, Understanding and Accomplishment.

Along with Conservatives everywhere I have spent the last few decades observing the relentlessly deteriorating quality of the ‘culture’ which surrounds us. I have been nagged continually by a difficult to articulate nuisance that is – around – it shows up here, there and anywhere at various moments and situations in our transformed society. It is an unfortunate symptom of prosperity – maybe too much connived prosperity.

Recently I got caught up in a situation where that – nuisance – came into sharp focus. In a very small dispute about a ‘problem’ person at a local institution I asked the staff for some easy, harmless assistance in getting courteous behavior from the ‘problem’. What I got was a Nice, simpy , grin-faced REFUSAL to do anything, no matter how slight the effort to get an adjustment by the ‘problem’. I was waltzed through an increasingly irritating shift and dodge, wriggle and squirm, always with a sneering smile Flat Refusal to make an easy solution happen. ( This is not incompetence, it is calculated antipathy.) I finally resolved the ‘problem’ by just walking out and forgetting what I was intending to get done there.

As I was driving down the road a realization came to me clear and sharp – those smirk smiling people who refused to Be Right – are cellophane nobodies, creatures who are worthless and useless because that is what they want to be. Not pleasant to say, but there it is. Their entire purpose and plan for living is to be  nicey nicey – not Right, not correct, not competent, not forthright and responsible, or honest. That happy, sappy noise we hear all the time -Have a Nice Day – is a warning signal of the decline that is gathering around us. Prosperity provides a hothouse for worthless, weak minded people to grow anywhere. They are an infestation,  behavior weeds that clutter our society – for no Good Reason whatever.

While we study history our attention is directed to the protagonists and antagonists, the action figures who are placed front and center in every history drama. We are never introduced to, or given much notice of, the ‘regular folks’  the little people who always make the freight, haul the freight and pay the freight. Our Real history is a LONG struggle through many LARGE difficulties, always on an upward path of living improvement – not simpering niceness – and we have arrived here at the 21st century, all spruced up, charged up and ready for an easy good life that seems a sure thing.

That sure thing invites slightly educated people to toss away the hard lessons in our past and fashion for ourselves a NICE ‘attitude’ for every occasion. There is a pervasive ‘life style’ manner spreading through the nation that pushes  – take it easy – as an all purpose behavior, attitude, engagement that self-selects , self confirms  “I can’t be a problem since I’m taking it easy – got it ?  Anyone  who is bothered by my cellophane behavior is – a problem person – because I’m taking it easy, no matter what I do.”

But Conservatives are not interested in NICE, we are interested in RIGHT. Glad to be right, happy to be right, courageous about being right, fierce for right, patient and determined about being right …. the Nice just comes along for the ride. In a world , and society, where Right and wrong, true and false, life and death is Reality being  nice won’t do much for you, maybe steer you into trouble. Being Right will lead you to a life of Goodness and Decency, Understanding and Accomplishment. We the Righteous are not trying to construct a medio-cracy here. We intend the BEST. If America is not advancing UP then we are going down. It is not OKAY to be tenth rate, but Nice!  That is actually – wrong.

One huge problem Conservatives have is how to deal with – cellophane people – the nicey , nicey people when we are making plans to WIN elections and govern ourselves.  How do we allocate resources to GET OUT THE VOTE  for sane, intelligent, honorable, competent, resolute, forthright people – CITIZENS – who volunteer to take up the Duty of legislative, executive and judicial office? With TOO MANY people in Our Country self selecting  – DISAPPEAR , as their solution to every situation they encounter Conservatives must consider carefully how to deliver the wonderful message that the Old Virtues, the Old  Respect for Knowledge, the Old Tenacity are – not old – they are eternally RIGHT. Conservatives are obliged to STEP FORWARD and blatantly tell the cellophane types in Our Country to get with our program of   Good Better Best. Or, maybe find another place to live on this planet.  EAP
