For over two centuries now the United States of America has been the envy of the world. She has long stood tall and proud, a great nation whose strength and resolve have been admired like no other – even by her enemies. Our country and the free market economic system upon which it is based have not only allowed us Americans to enjoy the highest standard of living in the history of the world, they have also helped billions of people in other countries persevere through times of great trouble and distress when disaster struck.
But now as we head into the second decade of the new millennium, we Americans see our elected leaders taking us down a path of political and economic destruction. The boom created by the greatest economic engine ever devised by man and blessed by the Creator could soon give way to gloom and doom thanks to massive government spending and ever-stronger restraints on personal liberty and free enterprise. If our elected leaders fail to wake up to the idiocy of their actions, the United States of America will soon become just a hollow shell of the bastion of freedom, power and prosperity that she has been since rising triumphantly from the ashes of tyranny way back in 1776.
As an American patriot it pains me to see this great country being ruined by a temporary majority who have absolutely no qualms whatsoever about governing against the will and wishes of the governed. Make no mistake about it: America is in decline. It’s up to us, the REAL Americans, to reverse the nation’s course this November. If we don’t, the America we all know and love could quite possibly cease to exist.
So true..
Excellent commentary Rick. I hope that the many sleeping Americans WAKE UP SOON to what is going on around us. Our country is going down the drain faster every day. Those who say, “they are doing all of this for our own good”. Have their heads in the sand. There was a song several years back by a christian artist called, I Pledge Allegiance to the Lamb”. I remember that in the video, a man was in jail and his son had come to visit him. They were talking and the father said, I can remember when it was ok to pray in school”. We are loosing our freedoms at an alarming rate and I also hope that this coming November can reverse that!
