The Destruction of America

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.

Immigration Reform and Welfare

President Obama spoke this morning on how badly this country needs Immigration Reform. This is nothing new, most Americans would agree that it has been long over due. The only problem is that President Obama and Congress either doesn't see or refuses to see how Welfare plays a part in this.

It is really pretty simple, why would anyone work, especially hard labor, when they can just sit at home and get a check from the government. While welfare might be well meaning, it has created a society of lazy, do nothing individuals. President Obama is right, illegal immigrants work as migrant workers, picking much of this country crops. But, if the government didn't dole out money like water, maybe Americans would get off their lazy butts and work in the fields, like our grandparents and great grandparents did. Hard work never hurt anyone, but welfare has been and continues to create generations of individuals that feel that this kind of work is beneath them.

Once upon a time in this country, taking a hand out from the government was frowned on. Parents and grandparents encouraged children to stand on their own two feet and make something of themselves. Now, it's okay to sit at home and wait on the welfare check. It's okay not to take responsibility for your actions. We have created a society that believes the government and taxpayers owe something. They scream about their skin color, property level, ethnic background, whatever reason they can think up to get something for nothing.

Enough already, it's time for all Americans to start picking up the pieces of this country and start working together to make our lives and the lives of our children better. Immigration Reform has to occur but along with it needs to come Welfare Reform. We need common sense solutions without politics, religion or ethnic crap brought into the mix.
