"The transnational progressive expects to maintain and expand modern, enlightened, prosperous, liberal society while opening up the borders that shelter that society to unlimited numbers of the least assimilable and most reactionary, most traditional and hidebound, least economically productive cultures on the face of the Earth. This wouldn't be so bad, or so insane, did they not at the same time insist that nothing be done to even try to assimilate the immigrants from those cultures to modern, enlightened, liberal values.

"The Tranzi also insists on enlightening the rest of the world, but rejects any and every means that might actually work.

"This, friend, is the other kind of insanity."

- from A Desert Called Peace, by Tom Kratman

As the novelist observes, the America in which we live is presently insane. It is not the insanity of Einstein, in which different results are expected from doing the same thing over and over again, but rather the insanity of Kratman's Corollary: "Insanity also consists of doing everything differently and expecting the same result."

In Otherly Insane America, we create credit out of digital thin air and expect it to operate as the same sort of currency that a legally defined amount of silver once did. We encourage stupid and lazy children to attend universities and expect them to perform in the same manner as intelligent, hard-working adults once did. We regulate the economy and expect it to operate in the same manner as a free market once did.

We import serfs and expect them to value freedom in the same way our aristocratic revolutionary forefathers did. We import 21st century savages and expect them to behave in the same way 18th century civilized citizens once did. We export jobs and expect to continue to enjoy full employment.

If America was an individual, she would be a toothless, crack-addled prostitute, limping uncertainly down the street while talking to herself and swatting at invisible flies that only she can see.

No one who sees a crazy drug addict stumbling down the street is surprised when she trips over a crack in the sidewalk and falls to the ground. And no one should be caught off guard when the same fate befalls an Otherly Insane America.
