Every wonder what the Romans and Egyptians were thinking about as their
time as the most powerful civilization drew to an end? Did it slowly creep on them so that one day it was to late? Did they even realize they were losing their place as the culture to be looked up at and emulated? Or did they quietly fade in to history with no clue?
We are at, or some say past, that tipping point! We must stand up and fight against the downward slide that faces our great nation! If we do nothing just the gravity of events will pull us down and keep us down, we must stop this ever increasing slide into a second class power!
Don’t believe me? Open your eyes and just look around at current events. Attorney General about to be cited with contempt, Obama using executive privilege to protect him, illegal immigrants being given free passes, the economy the worst in decades, and the Presidents plays golf. The secret service is partying with hookers, drones spying on U.S. citizens, and the world LOOKING TO CHINA for guidance not us.
We have given up our place as the top economy in the world and surrendered any rights for respect in the world. How many people do you know that can honestly say they are proud of our elected officials? Yet how many actually do anything but complain? Do they even change who they vote for or just pull party levers, because it is all the same? We need to stop worrying about what is in it for us and worry more about what is in it for U.S.!
We need to start holding our official to the standards of the office we elect them to, no more “oh well what did we expect”. If they are doing something we don’t approve vote them out! Don’t wait for them to be convicted if they are headed in the wrong direction turn them around.
They media only reports what makes them money and promotes their party line. It used to be the news was impartial and less biased. Now we are only presented with what “they” think we should be told. Wake up and smell the decay!
I wish I had easy answers and magic path back. No one person can pull us back by themselves. We all need to get involved in our own well being, not waiting for the government to take care of us, feed us, medicate us, and give us money. You want something? Work for it! It is time to end government hand outs! Yes there are truly some that need help, but help, not hand outs.
Ross Perot was right, “Hear that sucking sound?” Remember when he said all our jobs and manufacturing was leaving? Well, believe him now? Can we get them back? Not without a fight and government will to stand up to other counties. We need to stop sending money to countries that don’t like us and don’t want our help. You cannot buy their friendship. How many offered to help us after hurricane Katrina? Stop sending aid to all these other places and spend our money on U.S.! Can you imagine what we could do for poverty in our own country with all the aid we send overseas? If we spent all the money we send overseas on infrastructure here, we would stimulate the economy and put Americans back to work.
Though out our history we have help out all over the world because we were the superpower and felt obligated to help. Well we are no longer the superstar, we need to look inward and repair our own house before it collapses.
We cannot wait any longer waiting for thing to get better by themselves! Every day we read about more of our elected official under investigation. We need to elect people who are qualified for the job not because we “need a change” or they present well. NO! Look at their past performances and actually think about what they can do. Stop being so damn politically correct and say what you really think. Be that individual and not a sheep. This country was not made great by “don’t rock the boat” individuals. This great nation was founded and made great by people who knew how to say what they thought and not back down. We have become a nation afraid to offend someone or hurt their feelings. Where would we be if our founding fathers were politic correct and did not want to offend the King on England.
Sorry, I have rambled enough for now.
One last thing……..
Jump up and down!!!! Rock the boat!!!! Make you voice heard!!! Help get this nation back to being the great nation it was and can be again!!! Vote for only we can save this nation!!!
just another day in paradise
