What’s Going on here? (In America)

What the hell is going on with America? We have a Congress that is inept, a President who is clueless and a media that has completely given up on journalism. Our kids grow up being told that everything will be fair and wonderful when they are older. Then they are released into the real world where reality hits them like a brick. They find out that there is always someone better than them and that they actually have to try harder to go anywhere. Our legal system is a complete mess that allows for people suing each other for the slightest inconvenience. We are told by our leaders that we must not say anything to offend anyone, lest we be considered racist haters. Freedom of speech by individuals and in the press is constantly under attack by this or that special interest group. Then you have the groups who, though not directly affected by something, think they know what is best for the rest of the world.

We have politicians telling us what we can drink and eat. We have idiots changing school menus over to food that no sane person would ever think a child would eat. We have economic policies and environmental regulations that stifle the creation of jobs, interfere with innovation and generally screw the economy up beyond all recognition. Then we have politicians telling us how wonderful all this stuff is and that the economy is recovering.

The folks in the media have certain words they won’t use, lest we offend someone. God forbid they say something like “insane Muslim killers slaughter innocents again”, instead it is religious extremists cause mayhem in “insert third world city name here”. We can’t express our distaste for the Islamists who vow to destroy us lest we offend them. We let people come into to our country illegally yet insist that they have rights? We allow the Muslims to insist on schools not teaching certain subjects because it offends them yet ignore the average american who does not want his child exposed to diversity programs designed to make the child believe that America is a bad place and that we are inherently evil.

We have a government that spies on us in the name of security and violates our 4th amendment rights on a daily basis. We have people in positions of power trying to take away our right to bear arms and worse yet a press that agrees with them. No one wants to admit that we have raised a whole generation of degenerate wacko children with little respect for the law and absolutely no ability to think for themselves. They have been taught that the state will do all the heavy thinking.

Sadly, more Americans are interested in who won the latest sporting event than who has taken away another of their constitutional rights. Most of them do not vote. Less than 50% are in their local PTA and few of them believe that they can help things change.

How do we fix this? First, go vote in every election. Hand out copies of the constitution to all your friends and insist that they read it. Teach your children that tolerance does not mean giving up your rights or beliefs. Teach common sense in school! Make people responsible for their actions. Do not tolerate politicians who lie or who fail to serve their constituents. Slap every liberal you cross paths with (okay, just point out to them how wrong they are about everything). Do not conform, fight the “system”. Be willing to stand up and yell when you see something is wrong. Get angry, then go vote.

I am certain I missed many things that are wrong and I understand that I don’t have all the answers. But recognizing the issues and discussing them will lead us to ways in which we can return to having a the nation that our forefathers intended.

You may now return to your regularly scheduled surfing.
