There was a time in this Country that hard work, moral character and family values were common place. People worked hard for what they got and handouts were only for those who were in dire need. Children respected their elders and if your child got in trouble at school, then they were in more trouble when they got home. You worried that your child might get in a fist fight at school, not if they would get shot. Where did we go wrong?
While this is only my opinion, I can and will speak my mind. Liberals and their agenda have destroyed this Country and our lives! When I was younger, I really didn't understand politicians and their agenda's, I had no idea what they could do to my life or my Country. I was too stupid to take the time to understand how decisions then could affect my life today.
We are losing are freedoms, one by one. Our way of life is being destroyed and our Country is no longer seen as a beacon of hope. Politicians and Big Business have sold America and it's citizens down the river, all in the name of greed and power. They have used our fears and our personal failings against us. They have taken over our lives and hurts all of us.
Welfare, has become a noose around our necks and is destroying lives, not building lives. Entire generations are drowning in it's mire and there is no way out for them. Why work or reach for anything when the government is giving handouts. How many writers, scientists, world leaders, doctors, lawyers, so on and so on have not seen the light of day, because welfare and liberal ideas have destroyed their potential?
Liberals and Democrats talk about the, "Redistribution of Wealth". It is just another way of keeping people under their thumbs and creating chaos. If they keep us at each others throats then they keep can control us. People in Washington talk about problems with Social Security and Medicare and how they need to trim the fat from these programs, but they never talk about Welfare and trimming those rolls.
Congress was discussing a 5% decrease in their salaries. How about this, STOP receiving a salary, or health benefits or the other perks. How about stopping lobbying and all of the back room deals. How about millionaires and others giving up their Social Security Checks? How about Stopping the million dollar bonus given to CEO's and all the other crap that goes on? How about making Big Business or at least encouraging Big Business to return to our shores instead of making excuse?
It's time for all of us to take a stand. It's time for us to voice our thoughts and opinions. It's time to stand together as Americans. It's time to be proud of having morals and values. It's time to bring prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance back into our schools. It's time to make prisons a scary place and not "rehabilitation place".
I really don't care if you believe in God or not, that's between you and Our Maker. But, if I can respect your beliefs then you should respect mine. If you don't want to pray, that's find but don't tell me that I can't.

The Death of the American Dream
I can remember growing up, how hard my father worked to keep a roof over our heads and food on the table. He was a soldier, a farmer, a husband and a wonderful father. He taught all of us true American Values, and he also taught us to stand on our own two feet.
While it has never been easy, it has been worth all of the hard work. The sad truth is, that more and more Americans can't even find work and there fore can't work towards the American Dream. In the past couple of decades our Presidents and Representatives in Congress have let American Business move out of this country and by their actions have hurt the American Citizen.
We hear all about the Global Economy and Global Business but we don't hear about the profits made by American Companies in countries like China. Why, because American Companies don't have to report their profits from foreign countries. Let's be real, it's always been about greed, and the over all bottom line.
They pay foreign workers a pittance and have taken away the American Dream from the citizens of this country. We are supposed to understand and not feel outraged at the lose of jobs, foreclosures, increasing numbers on the welfare rolls. It's okay that we can't feed our families or keep a roof over our families head.
The American Worker needs to be active in politics. We need to make our voices heard. We have to stay strong and exercise our right to vote. If you don't want to live in a socialistic country it is time to remember who we are and that this is our country. The American Dream is dying a slow death and with it goes our country, formerly known as America.

Lose of Values and Faith
There was a time in this country that we raised our children with strong morals and values. We lived our lives based in our faith. Along the way, some how we lost our way. We stopped living our lives with any moral code. We stopped living by the Golden Rule and started living by the "What Can I Get By With Rule".
Being Politically Correct has and continues to destroy the country. Liberal mind sets have eroded away family values and morals. If you stand up and against the Liberal Agenda you are labeled as racists, or worse. This is far from true, you can have strong morals and values and still be a loving, kind and gentle person. You can disagree with someones choices and still respect them as a person. You can agree to disagree without anger or hate.
You can have a strong faith without imposing on an other's belief. It all comes down to morals and values. Our differences are one of our greatest strengths in this country. We don't have to always agree with each other, but we should respect each other. Why do our political and religious leaders continue to use our differences against us? Why do they promote the idea, that we can't get along with each other. Why do they want us at each others throat? Why have we let the media, politicians, actors and the like erode and destroy our morals and values?
Americans have a long and hard road ahead. We need to come together with respect, with understanding and with strong character in order to turn this country around. We need to speak as one and as a group and make our voices heard. We need to return to basics. We need to promote prayer, respect and kindness to all who will listen. We need to look prejudice in the face and overcome it.
Time is not on our side. Each day that goes by pushes our children towards an abyss. If we don't teach our children well, how can they in turn teach their children.

How We Have Failed Our Children
It is hard to admit, but we have failed our children. It didn't happen overnight, but gradually and without us even realizing what we were doing. Maybe we thought we were doing the right thing, but it has come back to hurt our children in the long run.
If you were part of the baby boomers, then you grew up in an era that started out innocent, but ended in turmoil. You grew up with "flower power", "make love not war", you grew up with liberals ideas that we thought would change the world for the better. We were going to end racial bias, end the Vietnam War and prevent further war. Peace was going to be our legacy. We were going to be better people.
What have we accomplished? The same people who wanted to save the world, are destroying our country. Why did we allow prayer to be taken out of our schools? What purpose did it serve? Why do politicians and religious leaders encourage racial animosity? Why have unions allowed businesses to close up shop and move out of this country without a fight? When did we stop fighting for our freedoms and our liberty?
By trying to hard to give our children everything, we have given them nothing. We have created a generation of selfish, lazy and uncaring people. There are many who feel that something is owed them. There are many who feel hard work is beneath them. There are many who only want to take the easy way out. This is how we have failed our children.
If we don't do something to turn this country around, then there will be no legacy for our children. We need to start today, we need to return to the morals and values that helped our parents and grandparents through horrific personal, economic and political times. We need to put our personal differences aside and come together as one and repair the damage done to this country.
People will say it can't be done, but it can, if we only try. We only have to have the courage to take the first step.
