I have found myself ranting and raving on subjects I find important to me or on subjects for fun or because of the Holidays lately. I find that to be my feelings at the time I write these things. Yet, some feel they must criticize and spam my little blog page for no reason other than to say they didn’t like the subject, silly people indeed.
No one will like everything you say and I am man enough to know and expect such things, especially in a world filled will closed-minded individuals who prey on the weak most of the time. The world is a big place indeed and no matter what, freedom of speech is vital, at least in America, thank god.
Americans have more freedoms than most other nations because of our laws, our Bills Of Right and ultimately the Constitution. The constitution is a wonderful document backed up by the American people and The Bills of Rights backs that document up as much as any can do. The biggest part of all of it, is the separation of powers, that keeps the Branches of Government separate as well as keeps separate the Government and Church. Smart move by the amazing Founding Father of America, way back than. While I firmly believe in all of the above, I have a problem with the checks and balances at this time, when one party can block the others bills or laws they are trying to put through to advance the economy and country and not compromise. Sadly this is happening in our Government and it should stop, grow up politicians, grow the hell up please.
America’s biggest problem at the end of 2011 is not the economy or the wars we fought and won or lost, it’s the in fighting between politicians and political parties in Washington, DC. What kind of action to help the American Economy, job market or American people is this? Bicker, fight, argue is normal folks, but not to this extent. Washington, DC. was created as a hub for our leaders to lead in not to grandstand, block, barricade and hurt the people. Wake up Politicians , please your killing us.
An open message is added here, for the American People tired of all this hurt, pain and living in fear and no advancing the country out there. Make a choice , use your voice, vote damn it and be heard, make these politicians hear our voices and our words. Send home the uncompromising, uncooperative ones, and watch how the hell ya vote and for who and why. A person I know , I asked one Presidential Election why he was voting for the Incumbant President, his answer was, he got us into the war, lets give him four years to get us out. Stupid really folks, he had no intention of pulling us out, he wanted it to go on to feed the industrial base he had and make money, now he is gone. Yet the war still did rage on, until the current President said enough and got tough.
American’s, we have been the police of the world, the military might of the world, the rescuers of the world too damn long!. My question is simple when will another country take the lead, when will they help, police, protect and defend someone and let us live in peace?. When in American History have you seen a country coming flying in to help us defend, protect or advance our nation in any way. Find that one in recent history please, for the last ones to help us with anything was France and we repaid them by freeing them from Germany and Hitler many years ago now.
No one came to our defense when the Twin Towers fell, no one offered to help us rebuild did they? Nope, we sat here and did it ourselves and did it right. Yet we, get involved in other people’s wars and countries trying to help and never get repaid or helped ourselves, ever notice that?.
In World War I, Germany went berserk and tried to rule the European countries and world, who stepped in and helped stop them Americans is who. World War II, Germany and Japan and Italy gather and become the Axis Powers and spread their domination and power all over the planet, who steps in and turns the tide and ends the mess, Americans again. We then have a brief period of peace and comfort. Then here comes a country divided over itself and its own beliefs, Korea.
Korea, the forgotten war right, We go in to help, fight, fight, fight, Americans die, die, die and get trapped in DMZ Zones and rice paddies and die more. We never helped but we tried and got more Americans killed then we helped. Sad isn’t it!. Yet we never learned our lesson did we?.
Once more, came another country, Vietnam. A country divided again amongst itself and not sure what to do except fight a war. Big brother America steps in trying to help and gets bogged down in a quicksand so heavy and deep we can barely breathe, Americans dying left and right in this one and foolish reasons to be there, yet there we are playing heroes why? We lost there too by the way and that doesn’t mean our service members failed, it means our Government screwed up.
Recently, we got involved in Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan, why? Oil, money is why? Sadly America is still dependent on oil and it’s uses, finally we are learning there are ways around that too, alternatives that work. But in the meantime we wasted men and women, equipment, funds and time trying to help countries once more that didn’t want us there. Iran, Saddam, Iraq now and Afghanistan, why? Do you really think these countries will help us if needed in the future, hell no. They would like to see us wiped from the face of the earth, if we could be. Wake up no help is gonna come from anyone but us, ourselves here in the USA.
Americans, have reached out since forever to help other nations, yet only one in recorded history helped us and that was way back in the Revolutionary Days here, France. So why do we try to be the big brother, massive leader and carry a big stick to solve the world’s problems.Isn’t it time to stop and take care of our own here at home?. We can no longer , afford to spend our capital, our time, our manpower, our lives, our money on saving and policing the world, we need it here at home to help our own. Lets take all the funds we use to help other nations solve their problems and use it all to solve our problems of homelessness, hunger, and joblessness here in America. There does come a time to take care of our own business, before anyone elses. We never do seem to learn, do we?.
