Iliusions of Delusions

so I have a friend who is often quoted as saying " you can't change a head".  I believe that.  But like even the best nachos and Michelob Ultra, it can be taken to an extreme.  For if we rely too much on the intrinsic parts of ourselves we deny the opportunity to change.  Where there is common ground is where I admit that most people aren't willing to change.  I know I have my own plans / sets / agendas and deviation equals vilification.  However, I will guess that as adaptable beings, subject to what some call evolution, we have the innate ability to change.  To become more, or less as one desires.  I say this because it ties into another conversation I had.  

The basic tenet of Conservatism 101 is akin to Evangelical Christianity.  That if the masses are engaged and prevailed upon with the "truth" then they shall come to their own understanding and join.  That all the conservatives lack is a simple market share on public opinion and we can "restore the constitutional republic".  It is nothing more than a delusion at best.  At worst, it is a carefully planned distraction by those who seek to subvert our beloved republic.  I will say this.  The republic lis dead.   It died in the last ashes of the civil war.  The American Empire however still has a few last throes in this death rattle.  The facts are plain.  The history is made known.  Most of America is plenty happy to ignore it and "keep calm and keep the cable on".  We have entertained ourselves into slavery.  Our debt ridden bodies will be kicked for the last amount of change.  The stinking carcass of what America was is being scraped off the cruel road of history.  Most people don't see it.  We are too caught up in the trivial politics of "king of the hill".

I say embrace it.  Move on.  It is dead.  From the ashes, what will you create?  Nation building starts at home.  Don't like where Washington is going?  Want to do something about it?   Change your life.  Change your head and move on.  Weeping for what could have been is fatalistic emotional masturbation.  Yes, our physical freedoms will be restricted, our money stolen, and perhaps we may meet our end at the beginning of a barrel.  Fine.  You can't take my mind.  I refuse to relinquish that.  Know their lies, see the propaganda.

And Succeed anyway.
