There comes a time. for all to realize, some things in America today. So, as a blogger, a single senior male, who is a widower, I look for ways to wake the American spirit I once knew growing up.
I was born in the 1950’s, and grew up in the 1960’s amd 1970’s. we had schools that taught, cars that worked an dprotected you, because they were made of steel. We had the best darn music too, with Aerosmith, Deep Purple, The Doobie Brothers, and all the Motown groups and artists. Movies were made to entertain, not shock, and not show how to kill. What happened to our world folks?
People had jobs and factories were everywhere. Work was plenty and prices were low, on gas, utilities and homes. We actually had the best years when I was young for sure. we found friends at parks and in schools. We kept the friends we had too. Some we have lost that is true and some moved on like me and you. Yet, some stayed and will never go away, we keep in touch is all I can say.
What happened to the peaceful streets of small towns and cities. What happened to peaceful protests, of the days of Martin Luther King, Bobby Kennedy? What happened to Presidents who had logic and common sense and morals and ethics? Where did our good Senators and Representatives go? You know the ones that would fight for our benefits, our rights, or freedoms! Where are you now, when we need you most?
Our streets and news filled with violence and shootings. Prices rising steadily, people hungry asking for food, homelessness rising, and hate mongers preaching and getting people more riled up than ever before. What happened folks, where did we go wrong? In my lifetime, I was born under Eisenhowser folks, he warned of the military, he warned of Russia. Kennedy came in and it began with his assasination, the bullets took over. But, at least it stayed stable for a while under Johnson and Nixon, of course there was Watergate too. what happened folks, where did the corruption come in, the anger and hate that now shakes America to it’s core?
Now prices are high again, jobs are disappearing and the homelessness rises again. People are hungry folks, desperate once more, begging for help. The anger between the Political Parties has now boiled over to the full public, as republicans and democrats argue and fight it out, with threats, and some die from bullets once more. Why?
Isn’t there a way to debate and discuss anymore? Isn’t there any morals and ethics and beliefs to treat one another fairly anymore? Where did it go folks? Please tell me why I can’t turn on the news and not see someone was shot today, or someone robbed or killed someone today? Why, is so much anger and misery in America, the land of the free, that we call it? Is there ever going to be peace again?
Let me state a few things here. We are still a republic and a democracy at least right now. we still have a Constitution folks and our Bills of Rights. But, for how long is my question? Can we maintain it or will we lose it all? I have said it before, and I say it again here, Empires are built and they fall, will, America fall like the rest after all? Are we too greedy, too angry, too non-caring, like the others that fell before us? Is our moral and ethical basis disappearing, is America crumbling? It sure looks like it to me.
Our children go to school, shootings, education is disappearing because it is being shut down by our President and Governement. why? Voting is being questioned left and right, mail in voting they want to kill next. One by one, piece by piece America is being dismantled, when will it stop? Social Security under attack, Medicare, Medicaid too. We paid into Social Security to have something for retirememnt, now, who knows how long it shall last? Medical costs skyrocket each day, elderly people die because their insurance isn’t paid and they can’t afford it. Burials are crazy prices and funerals too. what is America becoming is my question folks, where is it heading to?
The laws of the land we live in are constantly under attack. The Supreme Court does not act, and it protects the President, no one else it seems. Thats what happens when you let one man pick the Judges and they owe him you see. It’s as plain as it gets to see. I wish to remind everyone, no President can serve three terms in office, it’s the law of the land. It changed for a reason, and it should remain that way.
Wars rage around the world now, and slowly but surely, America is being drawn into them. Ukraine battles for it’s existence, Gaza falls to Israel, yet, we watch in horror and do nothing. Russian drones fly into Nato countries and Nato does not react, what is Nato for then, if not for protection of it’s members? Please explain that one?
Look I am a man who served my country for 16 years. I gave up my time, my energy, my body to defend and protect, what I believed in and still do to this day. I am disabled and a Veteran, I am old now, we served volunteerily back then, now we can’t find men and women to serve, not anymore in the same spirit. This is not the America, the Founding Fathers brought forth, anymore. It has turned into a quasi-autocratic nation under one man, who wants to be king, and dictator in one. Sadly, no one is stopping him! Congress grovels at his feet and kisses his ass, and he just goes on doing as he wants with illegal Executive Orders, and breaks laws left and right. Why isn’t he being stopped or impeached? So many politicans who hated Trump originally all of a sudden turned around and now kiss up to him, why? What is he holding over these people? The fear of being primaried? Look folks, you, can run again if you wish, but you will not win the votes, if you don’t grow a set of balls and stand up for what is right! Thats my opinion anyway. The way I see it, the mid-terms will come soon enough, and by November 2026, more Republican and MAGA politicans wil be headed home. America can not and I believe will not allow, this to continue for too long. It’s a check and balance thing we have going for us. It must now, snap back into place very soon. If it doesn’t folks, do yourself a favor, get a copy of Babbel language programs and learn Russian, because we are headed there. And that my fellow Americans, is not what we want for sure!
