Some would argue things these days are not any worse than they were a century ago, just different. From a natural standpoint, global warming, floods, volcanos, etc., they might be right, but then I wasn’t around then to tell for sure. What I think we all know is different these days, are the people. Even in the last few decades, people have become more self centered, less caring about their neighbor and overall, more violent. If we look at this, you’ll find it’s mostly the younger people who fit the above description more so than those of us a few years older. So let’s look at why.
There is a deep divide in our Country, mainly driven by the media. Most people these days, old and young, no longer think for themselves. Beliefs about everything from government and politicians to the state of our environment to issues we face such as immigration and others all stem from what people watch on tv. If you watch ABC and George Stephenopolus you love Hillary and hate Trump. Yet if you watch certain commentators on other networks, you hate Hillary and love Trump. My point is no one even takes the time to get the facts and form their own opinion anymore. The facts are out there, all one needs to do is take the time and make a few clicks on a computer keyboard to get the straight story, but that’d require a little work and a few brain cells and might interrupt your favorite tv show. But let’s go a step further, what about all these young people that have no regard for other people, their property or even their lives. For example, yesterday the National Vietnam Memorial was defaced with vandalism, a 91 year old veteran was beaten with his own oxygen tank, a war memorial in Virginia was looted and flags were pulled out and destroyed at Arlington cemetery. So what drives people to do this? Well, read on.
There are a couple of reasons for this change in behavior, and it didn’t happen overnight. First up is the destruction of the family unit, 2 parents living together raising a family. That’s not all of it though as there’s many single parents raising great kids with good values. I think the biggest reason for all this discourse comes from our so called leaders. There is such a deep divide in our Country between the left and the right that people down right hate others with opposing views. How else could you explain the destruction of the Vietnam Memorial or defacing flags at Arlington Cemetery. Now some of you won’t like this, but sadly it’s true. You see the democrats are the ones that preach for the right to protest and disagree, until someone disagrees with them. Then they resort to violence. Even if you’re a democrat, give me one example of conservatives committing violence when they don’t like a certain position. Are conservatives destroying property because Obama wants to create transgender bathrooms in our schools? I think not. Imagine people protesting a Hillary event like they do a Trump event. If there were hundreds of violent protesters burning effigies of Hillary, all hell would break loose. Talk about a double standard. We even have a President weighing in on the Presidential election while overseas which is a first in our history. Never has a President voiced his opinion on candidates in the past from a foreign Country. You may think I’m wrong, but if you don’t believe me, do a little research on your own rather than watching and believing the mainstream media. I’d gladly admit I’m wrong if you could prove me so, but you can’t. George Bush didn’t do it, think about it. Do you know that over 85% of all newspapers and media (tv) endorsed Obama in the last election? That creates a level playing field when most people believe everything they see on tv, right?
How about the current election. You had one old man punch a protester months ago at a Trump event yet hundreds of protesters have destroyed millions of dollars in property and sent scores of Trump protesters to the hospital at various events and yet Trump is branded as the violent one, hmm. In fact, at Trump events you have hundreds of illegal immigrants holding signs saying “Make America Mexico” and kids under 10 throwing things and yelling profanities demanding we the people give them more free stuff and rights reserved for Americans. Now I’m for helping people out but don’t you agree, there should be a process or some sort of procedure you go through to become a citizen? That’s the way it used to be. One just didn’t swim across a river and then start demanding rights and free shit. In many cases, illegals have more rights than actual Americans! So with all this going on, it’s no wonder the people are angry. The young in particular see no future for them. Yes CEO’s make too much money and the ultra rich are too rich but is the solution to destroy what made us great? When did capitalism and individual freedoms become such dirty words?
We’re almost at the tipping point or that inflection point, where from we won’t be able to turn back. Government is too big, people don’t think for themselves are either too lazy or uneducated to work hard and make a better life for them and their family on their own. We’ve created a generation of weak, useless pussies who think they’re owed something from the rest of us who have worked hard, for what we have, for our entire life.
C.S. Lewis once said, “We make men without chests and expect from them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst” To me, that about sums it up.
At this point I don’t have the solution. I do know we need less government rather than more which by the way, is the choice in the upcoming election. It’s not about Trump or Hillary, it’s about who will give back the government to the people. The government is here to serve the people, not the people the government. We need term limits and have to get rid of the politicians who mostly care about staying in office and taking care of themselves more than taking care of us! By the way, this is true on both sides! If we choose wrong, I’m afraid that some sort of revolution in our Country will take place between those that work for things and those that don’t, before things change or self correct. Throughout history all great Empires have lasted around 250 years or less. Don’t believe me, see below. Well our nation is 240 years old. Now for those of you naysayers who choose to ignore history, go ahead and think things like “it’s different now”, “this won’t happen to us”, “we’re America”, etc. Personally I won’t bet against history as it never lies. No matter what you see on tv or read in the papers, the truth is the truth. So get ready people. I hope you’re all smart enough to see that things have changed in your lifetime and sadly, not for the better. Believe it or not, this will happen and yes, you will feel it. Hell, you’re already feeling it but you just don’t know it. Your food prices are higher yet not as safe, you have less rights (the Senate just voted to allow the govt to read your emails without a warrant, what?) yet you don’t see it, your religious freedom is under attack but again, you choose to ignore it, and on and on. So, first up, get right with God. Then wake the hell up and take a honest realistic look at what our so called leaders are doing under the guise of it being good for you. Really people? Think for yourself before it’s too late, if it’s not already. God Bless.
