The fate of a nation and the shibboleth
in 2018 has no relation to the shibboleth word definition in the dictionary.
As has happened perhaps more in
the 21st century, dictionary definitions that are dependent on words
have new meanings.
Some might say dictionary
definitions have been corrupted to the benefit of political power behemoths
with long term goals in mind planned and executed well before the march for the
USA’s politically inspired “grand society.”
Some others will say that the grand
theory has shaped the structure and composition of what is the USA as a
nation.
According to Wikipedia this notion
of some society grand is an integral part of the tug of globalism versus
nationalism.
Little is said of what may really
be at stake is available in open source reporting by the mainstream media or
the array of partisan political side web outlets.
Overseas, in the sacred territory
of the European Union there are fissions to the grand theory.
The most recent elections among
certain European Union members who have the same Euro currency have
indicated a disagreement by voters who used the ballot to express a certain
direction.
Whatever the 2018 USA voters
determine in the midterms is more disconnected from a political side or the
idea of breaking the norms than voters realize.
Educated USA voters may be hard
pressed to find a ballot box choice that will escape the mainstream media punditry
of spin.
It seems to me the best
alternative is to find bloggers and others who may be judged to
have a dubious
influence platform.
If voters read and consider opinions
expressed as talking points, in addition to the headlines claiming the stock
and trade of political parties, the USA voters will make their decision and the
fate of the nation will come of it.
