I couldn't agree more with your post with the exception of one proviso: "The rest of us will have to hope for better times ahead".
So you surrendered? I have confidence in the silent moderate majority from both sides. At this point it looks like the republican party will become more marginalized. This I feel would be progress. Then collectively we can bash the shit out of the democrats extreme left section and marginalize them as well. As I feel they would be a more rational group.
I truly believe, with all my heart, that we are on a downward spiral that this country will never recover from. We have slowly, very slowly, been headed headlong to a country that is lazy and based solely on the entitlement system. This, for the most part, started with LBJ and his ridiculous "Great Society".
What vast lazy do you speak of? Most of the recipients of entitlement were required to participate in paying some amount of money for a future benefit. Granted its not perfect but please provide your ideas on what to replace it with? Let's be real here.
We have been digressing into a society of worthless, slothful fools addicted to government since then. We elect, then reelect near mongoloid idiots to live (and become our masters) in Washington for their entire, worthless lives (I give you
Maxine Waters as proof).
society of worthless? If you are referring to recipients of gov't benefits, I believe this is a already been disproved as to the 47% spew. As for Waters she is such a treasure like the democrats Sarah. As for the elected body the two party system requires you to vote the line, or you won't get any pudding. When was this not true.
Finally, these idiots, who, having been raised in a public school system that teaches lies and deceit found "their guy" - a smart, well-educated con man who plays DIRECTLY into their greedy little "give me sumpin" mindset. These same people see no bad in this man, contrary to his many missteps, missteps that were also ignored (and forgiven) with the "first" black president, William Jefferson Clinton. They simply have anointed Obama "The Great Provider" and will defend him to the death and to hell with America.
Were you educated in the public school system? Standard dogma.
Barrack Obama has the
entire media in bed with him, (save for FOX and a few internet entities - which the rest of the media spends their time en toto degrading) the entire education system, the entire entertainment industry and, the vast majority of left wing, mongoloid politicians. The military is being filled with illegal aliens, gays and women as the "fighters" become completely disenchanted with the 10 years of constant combat.
This is not like the fifties through early eighties. There are more ways for individuals to get the word out about truth in media. I enjoyed the opportunity from my dark cave to maybe get somebody to listen. But time and time and time again I find all media serve some agenda, money to. But I refer the one's that issue corrections rather than excuses. As for the 3 to 4,000,000,000,000 dollar wars. What a sad waste.
No, there was a time in this country when the future looked bright. Those days are over. I can't recall the study I read recently that pointed out that America is now 12 on the list of the "happiest countries". Countries who are satisfied with their quality of life, employment and "faith" in their politicians.
Much like our "education" system, where we spend Billions and Billions of dollars every year (that simply disappears) on our "race to the bottom", and are now outclassed by countries like Albania, our future looks as bleak as the futures of the idiots "graduating" from schools today.
Gotta love that no child left left behind helping. And I feel the business community should be paying a special fee for the babysitting of their illegal employees kids.
I would give nearly ANYTHING to not see this country in as much trouble as it is in. As a Black man, I cannot tell you how much I love this country.I have fought for this great land, shed blood for her and have had a wonderful life (never falling into that "victim" crap), raised great kids and have wonderful grand kids. However, it's THOSE wonderful kids that I see inheriting a bleak and fairly hopeless future.
Thank you for serving, again with that hopelessness. The day we actually get some serious sufferings, may bring some reflection.
I wish it weren't so, but quite frankly, with the current administration and the worthless politicians (on both sides who care nothing for us, only their net worth) and the ridiculously stupid electorate who are little more than sheep to the slaughter, I see nothing but bad on the horizon.
Well I have to disagree, and I'm never completely satisfied with any elected groups.
May God have mercy on the United States of America.
I have to disagree, only the United States deserves mercy?
