Okay, we know there are big problems with our American Dream, aside from the fact we have lost control of it. But there is a LARGE DEBT hanging over the nation. That was part of what got a Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia in 1787. How soon we forget, but that was what History class was for, duh.
Someone was wondering where the Libertarians were in organizing to fight the destruction of our Rights. Again, that is a NO Brainer, the Libertarians are against being organized, putting on T-shirts with a Cult Hero picture "Who is John Galt?", they avoid employment with unions, voting with a political party and obeying LOTs of laws. They aren't so much criminal, but we have way too many Laws and Regulations -- and then the POWERS that BE selectively ignore the basic Constitution of the United States of America.
Since it isn't the hack and slash Doctor and Congressman Ron Paul that will be elected by the Electoral College before Christmas, I am sure the debt will continue to go up, the economy remain shaky and America will fall in its darker doomed future. There wouldn't be an America today, if one third of the population hadn't been convinced to the point of fighting for Independence to defeat the forces of the King and British Parliment. And those weren't the law breaking drunkards and wastels and ignorant fools... often seen in Occupy protests, were they? The reason those same, the law-biding hard working solid folks don't rebell now - is that today they aren't as solidly working to perfect their part of God's Kingdom.
I have physical problems, most from aging badly but many from foolish excesses and lack of better sense - sounds like America: aging badly, foolish excesses and lack of better sense. But, I know, since I have been tracking it closely, that I have more possibility of better health, solid financial standing and potential of a wonderful life as I correct my weaknesses and past performance slumps.
In other words, America isn't going to correct itself very well, and I can and will. I really like Congressman Paul Ryan, but then I don't know if he shoots or served in the military. But he has done more for improvement than the current President. Ah, looked it up, he never served in the military. Still don't know if he shoots, or hunts, or cares. Doesn't matter that much, except for him.
Earl, unlike 'most' of the country, we can and do work on our health (both physical and fiscal)... We don't sit on our asses waiting for the monthly handout, nor do we sit in front of the boob tube 24/7 and believe all the sound bites... Hopefully the Silent Majority will wake up this time around!
ReplyDeleteWake up? they already think they are awake and then take another pain killer to get by whatever is hurting their head. Still, that majority - can take action, if they believe in themselves over a heroic leader, wasn't it better for many countries to have colorless nobodies in charge of signing papers? Too many want someone to be King, and they don't need one.
