America’s Lab Rats? | Frontpage Mag

What's happening to us by our elected and appointed leaders is the equivalent of '"prima nocta". They think it's their right to fuck us any way they can.

The idea of 100,000-200,000 legal immigrants admitted annually and meritocratically, charter schools in the inner city, beefed-up policing in our major urban areas, nationwide civic education, reemphasis on assimilation, integration, and intermarriage of the melting pot, wide use of nuclear power—all the things that might make the life of the middle class more secure, more prosperous, and more confident—are deemed corny and passé.
Again, what we got in the last quarter century was a shrill elite that subjects their Jacobin theories upon a distant other but has absolutely no intention of ever getting near the very disasters they wrought, much less suffering the collateral damage that was inevitable from their social engineering.
Or, to put it another way, they were to be our few genius white-coated researchers while we were their many expendable lab rats.

A depressingly accurate summation of life in a near-fatally divided America. It would not take much to tip this mess into anarchy. Given the number of enemies who would pile onto the corpse of the United States, I'm not optimistic we would ever recover.
