America is Crumbling Around Us

Updated on October 20, 2009

We Had it Pretty Good

When I was a kid we had Wild Bill Hickock, Howdy Doody & Buffalo Bob, Hop A Long Cassidy, Sargent Preston of the Yukon and King, Gumby, Mr. Wizard, Kit Carson, Our Miss Brooks, Dick Clark, Topper, Sky King, and one of my favorites was My Little Margie. Then came I dream of Jeannie, Bonanza, Gunsmoke, The Fugitive, Johnnie Carson, Dean Martin, Andy Williams and Glen Campbell and Sonny and Cher. We did not have to watch such crap as MTV, clay dolls fing in a boxing ring, or reality TV bleeping out every other word because society accepts the worst of the best now as cultural correctness and we were even told not to sit to close to the TV it would hurt our eyes. That was before Bill Gates came out of the closet with his garage with the machine that would break up marriages, have people satisfying themselves singularly, playing stupid games and looking for kids to molest.

We played outside with the neighbors kids as cowboys and Indians, or cops and robbers. We did not curse, smoke, sell dope, dress like slobs, or break into homes, steal cars or take nude pictures and post them all over the world for folks to see.

Black and white was black and white. There was no animosity on our behalf. We did not care about issues that did not concern us. Our neighbors were not selling drugs or pimping prostitutes. We left well enough alone and the worries for the grown ups. I came up in a Democratic household and that was good enough for us. We did not know better till later, much later.We really did not know what greed was and how someone goes off the deep end when they get power without brains. We did not know our country was on the path to destruction. We thought all was well. If we did something wrong in my dad's eyes we got the belt and the next time we thought about doing wrong we had a choice (yea my dad lived with us and we had a tight knit, loving family).

There are changes taking place in America that are not in our best interest. In fact I am not sure whose best interest they are in because when the powers to be are through I do not believe we will be in control of our country unless something takes place in 2010 to make a huge difference on the Economy, the Government and our borders. If the healthcare plan get approved. If anymore blue noses or Republicans roll over we are done for because the first thing Obama is going to do id give amnesty to 30 million illegals in America so he can asure his re-election no matter that 10% of the country is already out of work. Obama has done absolutley nothing for the economy but put us much deeper in debt. In his way of thinking its my way or the poor house. He is doing he best to bankrupt us and join the European Markets along with the Euro, Ameros or some other monitary means instead of the dollar and at that time our money will be like confederate money. Worthless.

Our standing in the world is changing and not in our favor. I feel that Obama had in the back of his mind with all his weak ideaologies that sound much loike Marxism to me, he would somehow be ask to Preside over the European Trade Union. His idea of a democratic society goes something like this. Without the elimination of the fetter of the private ownership of the means of production, human society is unable to achieve further development and he is definitely doing away with the middle working class and small business.

Do you know we have spent 2.5 trillion dollars on what our Government calls the "War on Drugs". The drug dealers have a profit of 98.5% fom cradle to nose on cocaine and we won't close the borders because it would be lost votes or lost cheap labor for the upper class. Not to mention the terrorist that are coming in. But hey, that's OK with Obama as long as he is looking at votes in the bag in 2012.My thinking is if we went as far as legalizing the drugs it would leave the dealers holding the bag and it would change the out going monies to incoming. What a change that would bring to a country on its knees apologizing to our enemies and kissing their feet as Obama would have it.

The polar ice cap is melting and I don't care how much money goes into Gore's pockets, that will not change. The other day Gore was in a presentation about Climate Change (they change the names so we don't recconize the issue anymore) and a man asked about the 9 falicies that have been proven with Climate Change and would he explain, so as the man proceded to ask about the issues they cut his microphone off. Has anyone seen the tempereatures around the country lately. Here in Jacksonville, Fla we just broke a record for coldest day this time of year.

The main problem we will have with the ice melting in Alaska is Russia and Canada will try to make claims to the many minerals that will become available since they both border Alaska and the shipping lines will change do to the expanded water.

There is a book out with the title, Who Are We: The Challenges to America's National Identity by Samuel P. Huntington that is a very good read. Check it out at Amazon.

I feel if we are lucky and the Mayan's were right, we won't have anything to worry about after 2012. What do you think? There are so many issues I can't cover all in one setting my friends.

How about Rush Lembaugh getting pushed out of buying into a NFL team by a lying Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. Just because he is Conservative and speaks out to the masses that only hear the news that is no news at all.That's another subject but do you see where it is going?

Are you middle class, run your own business, have a child in college. What for? Some how there has to be a change or it will all be for nothing.
