Losing America

I have heard predictions about the end of the earth- with global warming either being fact or a huge hoax, OR nuclear proliferation in southeast Asia and the middle East, or just simple extinction of the human race by bird flu, pick your poison. But the end of the United States? The great experiment that our brilliant founding fathers began with hope that a true Republic could exist with democratic principles. But the problem seems to be that the idea was smarter than the people it would be left to. Like a beautiful engine, it worked until someone threw a wrench in it. And the wrench is called the hyphen. The people who worked and planned this country, who founded the corporations that proved that only a system that allows human achievement can flourish, who established the idea of a jury of your peers, who believed that people can elect intelligent and forthright leaders, those very founders and their believers are now weeping in disbelief. And sadness. The experiment wasn't perfect, but it was the best in the world for anyone with an OUNCE of initiative. But then the notion of the government as father and provider stepped in. The uneducated and unwilling poor became the complaining demanders of entitlement and greedy politicians bussed them to the polls. The mere concept of being an employer became a curse with regulations and demands for every thing that has been decided to be a job entitlement- health insurance, social security- all things that should be an individual's responsibility. Slowly, but surely, we have eroded the reasons this country was founded- freedom from taxation without representation (now politicians want to be reelected so they vote for the most entitlement programs they can), freedom of religion (try being a Christian in what is a Christian nation- you have no rights), freedom of speech (this is the most misconstrued of all the rights because nowhere does it say you have no consequence for what you say yet people hide behind this every day), the right to bear arms (which does not mean you can murder someone)- these freedoms have been misinterpreted and their expressions misused to the point that the average citizen, who doesn't even know who his representative is, is now a constitutional law expert. Or so they think. But of all that- the hyphen is what has stolen America. Because victimhood is popular now, everyone has to have a hyphen. Why? To distinguish themselves from the great thinkers and workers of the USA over the past 300 years- and whether you like it or not, that is the white man. You know- the oppressor of the hyphens. Used to be even whites had a few hyphens- Irish-American, Italian- American. And they couldn't wait to lose them and just be Americans. The great melting pot has failed because you cannot take a cat and tell it to be a dog unless the cat seriously wants to have some ALPO. That might sound silly, but the truth is that we are who we are. And if our subculture says we are victims, then we shouldn't go to school and respect the teacher or do homework or study so we can at least get some vocational training and get a job, then we will be victims. But to call the white men who organized this country, and became the doctors and lawyers and scientists- and the vast majority of the people who did do that were white- to call them oppressors is ridiculous. No white people oppress anyone. Slaves were brought over from tribal leaders who SOLD them on many occasions. Slavery still exists throughout the world. Africa is a violent and almost unsalvagable continent. People are STILL slaves there. I don't know why we should tolerate any more immigration. It is killing this country. Not because of the white man, but because of the refusal of some subcultures to become American- which means to work, work very hard, to make your kids better than you were by making them study and be quiet in school and respect the teacher and do homework. Only then the miracle that is America can get back on track. Take all the bleeding hearts and make them teach job skills rather than handing out taxpayers money. We don't have to be unmerciful, just intelligent. What a shame if we lost this great nation. But if you continue to reward the complainers, and take money from the people who went to school and worked hard, then it will be inevitable that the workers give up. It wouldn't matter what happens in the rest of the world then. Oh- and stop calling your president stupid. John F Kennedy was a mediocre student and a president who tried to get ALL of us killed but the average person thinks he was a hero. Stop people like Pelosi from consorting with nations like Syria. And for goodness sake, learn your constitution. We are NOT a democracy! Stop saying it. We are a republic. Because of the brilliance of a bunch of white guys back in the 1700s.
