According
to what is now relevant, the answer is no!!!
Now,
check this out!
After
seeing this, can you in reality say that America is the Greatest
country in the world, in all honesty, the answer is a resounding no
and we really, really have to admit it in order to fix it. The next
question is of course, how do we go about fixing it?
I
could go on a rant about Obama, and all the other liberal,
hedonistic, pseudo-intellectuals who reside in a stratosphere that is
attached to a “Galaxy far far away” that has absolutely no
connection with what we face today except to make new laws that have
no legal basis what so ever, and hem and haw about those who do not
agree with them describing them as “Domestic Terrorists” when in
fact they are the true “Domestic Terrorists” they speak of. But
convincing them of that would simply be like trying to “P*ss up a
rope” and we all know that to be an exercise in futile to say the
least.
So,
my fellow Americans, what in reality can we do as citizens to fix
this problem?
#1.
And probably the most important is redefine who we are, it appears to
me
as citizens of what used to be the greatest country on the face
of the earth
we have lost our identity as citizens. Be that through apathy or
misdirection
it really doesn't matter, we lost it and now we have to take it
back. Please notice
that I did not say ask for it back, I said take it back. And that
means getting off our collective butts and become active as
citizens. You know politicians, and thugs
fear the possibility of the citizen becoming active, because when
that happens
they have no place to run and hide. That includes Obama and his
cohorts.
#2.
Learn again the responsibilities of the citizen in general and in
specific relation to who holds the ultimate power in this
country. Were we to do that, better than 65% of the crap we are
dealing with right now disappears. Why, because when we are
educated as to what we can do as citizens the power brokers are no
more, we become the basis for the country not them.
#3.
The one I consider most needed is a return to out basic philosophy of
what America
and what we stand for. We are a nation built on freedom, but
freedom with responsibility. Now that is different from
just freedom in that it is based on an entity
much larger than ourselves. Freedom with responsibility t me means
our freedoms are based on not only the Constitution and
Declaration, but also on the Judo-Christian ethic which
bespeaks of the importance of the most basic of all
entities on which this country is built and that is the individual.
Now
given these three points, the question becomes how do we structure
something to take into consideration these facets and combine them
into a whole unit. Quick answer, we have to do nothing new, we don't
even have to upgrade to today's standards, we just have to take care
of what has been handed us. We have the blueprint, we have the
knowledge, and hopefully we have the desire. So what is left, we used
to have it aplenty, it was never in question built our rep as the
wrong guy to mess with, we were badass but not to the point of
hounding our enemies once the conflict was over. That is the spirit
we need to again like the “Phoenix” of legend to rise again out
of the ashes of what is left of the USA and rise above those who have
tried their best to cause the demise of this country and show them
what America is really made of. We are not a Nation of blabber
mouthed yahoos that have no other goal than lead to destruction, you
know like those in authority now. We are not a Nation of Racist
Bigots that some would have everyone believe, nor are we a Nation of
cold uncaring people who's only concern is for themselves. We the
American people are a people of fairness, of compassion, of
respecters of the individual yet concerned for the masses. We believe
in equality, we believe in hand ups not hand outs we believe in the
work ethic, not the welfare gouge. We believe in Justice, and in
Freedom, and in God, we are a varied Nation of many religious ethics
from Christian on through Atheist we make no bones about the
religious beliefs of others until they try to override the beliefs of
others. We respect others for who they are, not what they are, nor
who they voted for, (that's their concern),
We
do not need a shoot-em-up revolution to correct the wrongs being
perpetrate now, we just need a return to who we were as Americans. We
came together during the Revolutionary War to give birth to the
greatest nation that ever came up on the face of this earth, one that
was dedicated to the worth of and freedom for the individual, one
that promised the opportunity for anyone to succeed in spite of
previous chains caused by ignorance.
Somewhere
along the line of our growth, we laid that down and forgot to take it
back up, we kind of left that for the other fellow to do, why, again
apathy, avarice, or just pure laziness, don't really matter why. What
does matter are we to let it slip away because we are scared, to
scared to stand up for what's right, that also was one of the
hallmarks of America, standing up for whats right. That in short is
what we need to do, all the other hoopla is just that hoopla and will
never amount to anything. We just have to be who we are America, we
just have to be Americans, and everything will fall into place.
I
garauntee!!!
