My Country Tis
of Thee Sweet land of Liberty!
Is that what we
are?
If you look at
where we are and what we have become the answer is a resounding
No, and who's fault is that? There is only one answer to that,
it's not the laws, it's not the ideals of progression, it not being
consistent with everyone else in the world. Well if that's true, then
who's to blame, the politics, nope, the ignorance, nope, the
finger-pointing politicians, nope, Progressive affluence, nope. Then
what or who is to blame for this FUBAR.
The answer is
it's us, the people reading this missive, the people who sat back and
let it happen, you and me, us, there is no them, it's us
.
When you
realize it is us who could have stopped it a long time ago but did
not, when you realize it is us who let it happen because we were to
busy trying to gain affluence that we forgot about our stature as
citizens, yes the total responsibility is ours.
We became a
notion of leeches, asking what will it do for me as an individual,
when we should have asked what will it do for us as a collective
country. You see, when we advance as a country as opposed to an
individual, we as a country of individuals will advance collectively.
It's not rocket science. Here's the thing we ought to know, our
successes in the past were built on a spirit of cooperation, not
corporation, Henry Ford showed us that. The Progressive Philosophy
that is rampant today is not really progressive, in actuality if you
look at history you will find it regressive in that it winds up
stripping people of their individuality and making them a cog in the
wheel of progression. It has never ever lent itself to the betterment
of the people, rather yet it has led to the subjugation of the masses
for the benefit of the few, If yo think I'm wrong, hit your history
books, not the ones you get today find one from about thirty years
ago.
Here's the
deal, we quit, we as a nation quit, we let go of our values, we
replaced our morals, and we lost sight of two very important things
that are needed for survival, humility and gratitude. Humility in
realizing we art not the apex of civilization and gratitude for the
things we have been give by those who came before, it wasn't perfect
but it was better than what they got. Is our Legacy to our children
and grand children going to be less? Yep! You see, we are the ones
who quit.
An
American who still cares
