The Futuristas Rebellion
To belabor the obvious, Americans are a silly people. Systematically denied their responsibility, their energies are channeled into endless opportunities for silliness, which they eagerly welcome. Without it, they would despair, for they are unprepared for seriousness, and thus disinclined toward maturity.
Of course, they get a lot of help from professional progressives like Center for American Progress, which promotes the silly notions that Americans can be pro-war and progressive, pro-democracy and pro-Democrat. And for those feeling the sting of Democratic Party betrayal, there is the Institute for America's Future, where the disaffected can join the Futuristas rebellion.
Such silliness.
