well i think what people dont realize is that its exactly
that type of behavior and laziness that gives the world that impression-some of the world has little respect for us
and for good reason.
we can be rash and big mouthed
which is handy for sticking a foot in...
we have put politicians in place that have done this
on the world stage
i am not a basher of my own country
i am a patriot
a true patriot is not in denial
everything that has been good and forward moving in this country has come taken place because awareness and willingness to work for change came to bear on a situation or a circumstance
sometimes that has meant war, or social programs or
appropriate resistance in our own country.
lincoln
truman
fdr
jfk
these were all presidents willing and respected for
calling a spade a spade and encouraging us as a group
to roll up our sleeves, take off our blinders and get off our butts
not like so many that have said
oh dont worry, we'll handle it
you people just stay busy applying for unemployment
and not watching hearings where we lie
and chase those electronic gadgets
we'll be over here takin care of you,
dont worry (*pat on the head*)
america was not meant to be a few 'adults'
leading a nation of 'children'
thats a dictatorship, or communism
is that what america wants?
it seems so if you look at the percentage of votership
in the last 2, 3, 4 elections-
just presidential...the local turn outs is beyond sad.
stand up america
dont sit here and rant
go vote
this is not to endorse or deny any particular candidate
