As time goes on it seems that more and more of my fellow Americans have become quite content to wrap themselves up in what is nothing more than the warm, fuzzy, blanket of blissful ignorance. They move through their lives as if all is well and right with the world, choosing to ignore completely the fact that with each passing day our nation is being forced ever closer to a cataclysmic event, the magnitude of which will rattle the futures of their great, great grand children. Future generations who may never know what it feels like to live in true freedom, or free from the ever watchful eye of an all knowing, all seeing government, a government that sees itself as the sole purveyor of certain rights.
Far too many Americans seem to be of the opinion that's is just better to just go along and to not rock the boat. They seem confident in their assumption that things will work themselves out if we just give it enough time. But I hate to be the bearer of bad news here, because those of us who have been waiting for things to fix themselves have, essentially, been nothing short of derelict in our duties. We were supposed to be the guardians. And now our laziness may well have an impact on generations going far into the future, quite possibly a future of darkness and here in the same land where once the light of freedom burned so brightly that it could be seen from anywhere on the globe.
We who make up this present generation were handed something really quite special by those who made up of those called "the greatest generation" and, sadly, we have not been very good stewards. We put ourselves above everything else, including the safeguarding or our freedom. In short we squandered it, we were unwilling to display the same level of courage so that we too could then hand over to those who follow us a nation that was even stronger and more free than the one that was handed to us. But instead what will be left for us to hand over is a country that is a mere shadow if its former self. One that is much weaker and one where freedom has now been placed on life support.
I’ve always tried to think of myself as being a ‘glass is half full’ kind a guy. Although, I must admit it was a much easier task in my younger days. And with us having been stupid enough to elect Barry to four more years, it’s now come to be damn near impossible. Because I guess I’ve finally allowed myself to come to the realization that yes, I am pretty significantly outnumbered by those who unwilling to take a stand against those trying to ‘fundamentally transform’ my country. I have yet to be able to figure out, exactly why said transformation is now required, but it matters not, because so many more seem to think that it is something that’s required. So, here we are on our downward spiral.
