Dear George,
It’s time to put the “United” back in the United States of America and restore the “domestic tranquility” promised us in the preamble to our Constitution.
I continue to admire all you have done to discourage overt acts of free speech. However, I want to alert you to another act that is equally dangerous to the State, and that is “free silence.” Silence is prima facie evidence of seditious thinking. It is a subtle and creeping dry rot that can destroy a society as surely as open rebellion. Free silence constitutes an act bordering on treason in its withholding of overt support for America in her Eternal War of the Empty Policy.
What we need is a government-sanctioned unity grounded in that Main Street value no patriot can oppose—small town boosterism. As that great American anthem tells us, “You’ve gotta accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative…” The premise behind the doctrine of small-town boosterism is that negativity discourages investment and obstructs the free flow of capital. Who would invest in a country torn apart by a bunch of whiners?
Unity contributes to the public good. How can a people pursue happiness in an atmosphere of contentious debate? Dissent produces both discord and stress as it creates a house divided against itself.
Let all of America come together, their right hands thrust heavenward, their palms ramrod straight, fingers together as a symbol of our unity. Let us dedicate ourselves to the proposition that America must become the world’s first gated community, protected by its freedom walls, a secure enclave for a shrinking middle class with its manicured lawns and its unity of thought, serviced by a servile and cowed underclass.
Tyranny will enter Jerusalem astride the ass of liberty. Nurturing the petty freedoms puts you in a position to eliminate the big ones.
Your admirer,
Belacqua Jones
