Who are We

My Country Tis of Thee ______ _______ _______ __________

Land of the _______ Home of the  _________

Fill in the blanks, this is no contest, just see if you can do it. Then study your answers, can you honestly say that's who we are?
If you say no; than what can you do to change that?
Not everyone else, just you, what can you do?

Ever stop to think about that?
As perplexing as it is, it not that hard to realize the answer, that is,
if you have the guts to admit what we have been is not what we should be.
I am only referring only to about the past 70 or so years.

For years, our ancestors both long since removed and recently passed have desired to give us something that they dreamed of throughout their lives, something they exerted themselves for throughout their lives. It is what this country was built on, it is what brought countless millions to these shores, leaving everything behind family, friends, lifestyles, all for the hope of an "Opportunity", please note I did not say a better life, more income, nor freedom. I said 

OPPORTUNITY.

You see, America was not founded on giving everyone what they wanted, we were founded on giving the opportunity to anyone who wanted it the chance to make a life that they wanted. do you notice a difference in what we are told as opposed to what is historically real?

None of us alive today deserves what we have, it was given to us, we did not earn it, but we expect it.

And, when we don't get it, what do we do, we protest, we scream, we holler, we stamp our feet, "WE PUNCH OUR NEIGHBOR IN THE FACE, BREAK INTO HIS/HER HOUSE AND TAKE WHAT THEY HAVE!!! Then we laugh about it and say how "Cool" we are, and if the authorities try to maintain peace we scream brutality, if someone gets shot and killed, let's say a five year old child, what do we do, we point the finger, we charge racism, we holler homophobia, but do we ever look at what we are doing? Not the person down the street, not the face on TV, not the media barkers trying to get a story, or trying to cover one up, no, we do not ever look at our own behavior!

We will grumble, we will through up esoteric questions that in the long run mean nothing and do nothing. We will listen to media demigods enumerate on how things should go, though they stay as far away from any voluntary action that could make a difference, there will be opinion, upon opinion, upon opinion of what should happen, only nothing ever gets done.

There are of course actions that are irrelevant, These action (I call them Knee Jerk Responses) accomplish nothing other than placation until the next incident. Now tell me I am wrong. 

If you can't then let's start a Resurrection.
