A very spot on analysis that begins with dividing Republicans into Belmonters or Fishtowners. And Romney isn’t communicating to the Fishtowners a shared sense of dismay of cultural decay, such as this post presents. The analysis was written by the other Dalyrmple and he makes good use of the Belmont/Fishtown meme created by Charles Murray.

Works for men, too.

Actually, I’m not even sure it would work if it could be done. I don’t have time to look it up right now, but I believe that most sociopaths are not in prison. Plus, most sociopaths are born to normal parents.

It even may be true that most sociopaths have normal children, although I’m not as sure about that.

Bingo!

I look for this, actually, once our society has gorged itself to the full on hedonism. (Can’t possibly be long now, can it?) The revival probably won’t be led by the upper classes but by blacks, who have the cultural clout necessary to make it happen. Bill Cosby was just ahead of his time.

Just learned that a niece, a college graduate who started her own environmental educational foundation, is pregnant. No interest in the father apparently, other than the obvious temporary engagement. There seems to be no concern for her future, or the child’s, on the part of anyone connected. Of course she has a step-sister who has been in the same situation for years, and the grandmother simply became a surrogate mother.

Walking around a grocery store yesterday, I periodically encountered teen aged girls with a baby. I have no idea whether the baby belonged to one of them–although it appeared that it was only the the three of them. But, as I watched them. I had the thought that they were playing with an interactive doll. I suspect that is part of the attraction in the beginning. I also suspect that later on many mothers would gladly pass the doll on if they could.

Like most these days I have had ample opportunity to observe the children of broken marriages among family members. I am not expert on these matters, but even a lay observer cannot miss the pain and dislocation among these children.

Women alone with children struggle economically and look to the government for support. Unmarried women tend to vote Democratic and support programs that give them money and free stuff. Obama benefits from this trend immensely. The irony is his children have two in home parents and they benefit greatly from that structure.

Humpty can be put back together. First you end Drug Prohibition. Then work for 40 or 60 years to reverse the culture it spawned.

Who has the guts for that? Very few.

Women WILL have babies. If you eliminate enough males from the marriage pool a LOT of them will have the babies without fathers. It is programmed in: reproduce at all costs.

And the core of this particular knot? Social Conservatives. Decrying the loss of traditional marriage at the same time egging on at least part of the cause.

We are getting the society we deserve.
