Demons of Deviance


It's the deviant you know. Not only does he have the advantage, he has taken the advantage; fully. We are collectively concerned about what has happened with America and fearful of the direction in which America is heading. Recently polled Americans told a telling tale; only 26% felt America was heading in the right direction. The America train has not derailed; the deviant has hijacked it and taken the American conductor hostage.

First off, we must contend that deviance is attractive and we must openly admit this in order to understand the temperaments associated with the deviant. We are viscerally attracted to the deviant. We naturally like his smooth, suave swagger and attentively listen to his often overly ostentation orations. We like him until we discover who he is underneath. We find ourselves torn in defending him against others who see him for who he is before we do. Liken it to the bad guy always getting the good girl. She is enamored with the naughty nature of the deviant. The rebel without a cause swoons the good and is favored for his rebellion against the norm; and that is what a deviant is. A person who sways against the norms of social conditions. A deviant is not "bad" per se, but he can be all but pure evil when the good of social and societal norms are not forced upon him by the actual conductors of the American Train of Freedom and Liberty. The conductors have simply been asleep at the switch of the American course have allowed the deviant to assume full control.

Case in point; Charlie Rangel. Here we have a long standing, multiple time re-elected politician who sat on the Ways and Means Committee writing the very tax laws that he himself was cheating the American people out of in order to better meet his personal agenda. His words to the American people and his fellow elected officials when the charges began to rise were that Americans were not smart enough to catch him. Caught, he was censured by the federal government weeks after winning re-election in a landslide of wasted constituent votes that have now fallen moot. Deviance, when it goes unabated by the good in social norms always ends in epic disaster. The good conductors failed not only themselves, but Americanism in their support of the bad that can accompany deviance over the norms of good.

With the overwhelming majority of Americans clearly declaring that America is heading in the wrong direction, the same can be said for Americans in general where a deviant president was elected to bring changes to a nation that defied the elements that were actually good for the nation; even though many of them were considered "norms." In the wake of this reality, Americans are increasingly rebuking their support of such deviance and have in stunning numbers ousted Democrats representing the Obama deviant himself. In their place they have elected the norm of deviance when it comes to elected officials.

How do I know the newly elected will not yield the Americanism that Americans seek? Because Americans have long since stopped paying attention to whom they supported. It is a popularity contest of rhetoric over the conservative values Americans abide by in their personal lives. Born through political deviance is a culture of entitlement, absolution of personal responsibility, and deceit; all values that Americans individually do not cherish, but vote for in spite of themselves.

The Tea Party was born to return conservative values to politics which has begotten a Coffee Party designed to thwart in home values from entering politics which in turn led to a Tequila Part that aims to remove Latino voters from their default Democrat roots because a current Democrat regime is not "liberal" enough to trump the Rule of Law by unconditionally honoring blatant illegal activities within the nation's borders. That's quite the mouthful, but it is a mouthful of a rapidly deteriorating sense of Americanism. Given such political events and the efforts to instill a sense of entitlement over governing laws of the land, this new group of politicians will lack the in home values to return America to the stature of greatness it has lost in the previous two years. Deviance has consumed the nation and Americans are now forced to deal with its demons. Demons we have collected created by not insisting that those we elect are most like us and less like what they wanted to be.

Deviance in and of itself is not a bad thing and can yield great results when kept in check. We have failed to keep deviance in check by allowing ourselves to believe that controlling government was beyond our individual ability. How many times have you heard, "What can my one vote do about anything?" It is the deviant that has instilled this sense of American ineptness upon the people. It is time we reclaim what is ours by returning to the values we as individuals hold true and force them upon our elected officials. Allowing it to exist in reverse is what has placed America on a collision course with disaster.
