In the industry i work in i have the opportunity to encounter a large number of people every day, and in this industry i get to spend a lot of time one on one with people listening to their stories and their complaints and just general conversation about whatever may be the hot topic of the day! lately most people are talking about the coming election in 2012. Now i hear a lot of people bitching about the economy and how it has affected their daily lives, and in fact! in the industry i work in we are directly effected by either a booming economy or a crumbling one, the latter of which is under way right now. that being said these same people who engage me on this topic while complaining about how bad it is getting, how high food prices have increased or how much their energy bills have increased. i make no bones about being a conservative to everyone i encounter if the subject comes up. which the subject of our current political juggernaut we the people find ourselves in.
I find it most amazing the complacency i encounter on a daily basis regarding this country and where we currently are as a nation and as a people. it baffles me that so many people are angry and frustrated over the things our government is doing (or not doing) yet when i ask them who they are considering backing in the coming election, some. no a lot of them will say things like, "well i don't see any reason to vote. its not like my vote counts" which as those of you who know me may know can cause my head to explode. these people make me want to slap the living crap out of them because they are the problem! Complacency is the main reason in my opinion that America is where it is today! if you don't like something do you continue to just accept it! no, you get off your ass and do something about it, Right? well i guess not here in America! we have become so disconnected with our rights as Americans that our so called leaders have become the proverbial wolf at the door! they are thriving on our disenfranchisement to the point where they think since the majority of the citizenry never complains or stands up for themselves that said citizenry must want us to do everything for them. in experiencing this blaten complacency with the people i have contact with i have set out to do what i can to awaken them. to encourage them, and to educate them on just how important their voice is
I don't believe that either major party in our political system are who they were 20-30 years ago. maybe they are! i don;t even want to address the left but to say that i think John F. Kennedy would probably slap the living shit out of all of you for what you have done to this political affiliation! as for the right! someone need to throw a rope around you and pull you as far away from the middle as can possibly be done. over the past 3 0r 4 decades you have retreated from what you stand for so much that you are hard to tell apart from a liberal.(not a progressive, a liberal) there is no wiggle room on the core beliefs of the right!
i just want to end by saying this. in my industry they tell you never to talk about religion or politics to which i say PSHAW! last time i checked we live in a free country and until that changes each and every one of us should exercise our constitutional rights both proudly and loudly! if we remain as complacent as we have found ourselves to become then the United States of America will surely Parish as a nation and a sovereign people. i for one refuse to allow this to happen so at risk of offending a few in order to enlighten many i will now and forever be outspoken on the importance of speaking out about and against the tyrannicide progression of our federal government until which time as said government begins the process of regressing back into its proper place as a voice of the people, by the people, for the people!
It doesn't matter which party is in control of the White House, the Senate or the House of Representatives its OK to have different opinions and philosophical ideologies. what we need are men and women of Honor and Integrity who hold Americas best interests at heart, who have an existing income so as not to abuse the office they are elected to for personal financial gain, representatives who have the courage to REFUSE to engage in any way with Washington lobbyists seeking favors! Patriots who will listen to what We the People want, engage in a dialogue with us and enact the legislation WE deem appropriate to ensure that we and future generations continue to enjoy the unalienable rights granted us by our creator, and to forever stand as the one true Bastian of freedom in the world...
so i say to you all. don't just accept what is will always be! you and all of us have the power to change the destructive course this great nation is traveling. you just need to put up, or shut up!
god bless you, and god bless the United States of America!
