WE ‘WERE’ WARNED…

Well my friends, here we sit at the precipice. A spot that I would have never imagined in my wildest dreams that we Americans, a supposed freedom loving people, would have ever found ourselves. And, sadly, we have no one to blame but ourselves. We were warned, and repeatedly so, and yet we chose to ignore. And what is truly scary, is the fact that time is rapidly running out if we wish to correct our errors of the past. We must now take matters into our own hands if we hope to possess anything that we can leave to our children upon our passing. Our situation is dire, and there is plenty of blame to go around when determining which political party is more responsible. But let me be very clear, the ultimate responsibility lies with us, "We the People," and it always has. It’s easily to blame the politicians, but doing so is simply passing the buck.

Because we have allowed ourselves to be convinced that we have become totally incapable of handling our own lives. We’ve been told that we now "NEED" the government in order to be able to successfully navigate the various situations that we are made to face during our lives. And we insist upon believing most of what we have been told. It’s now time for us to ask ourselves what our ancestors would have done if faced with a government that has grown far too powerful and far too controlling of the people. Those ancestors who braved the wilderness alone and against the elements and who went on to create this greatest example of human freedom in the history of the world. Or, came from foreign lands, unable to speak the language, and yet went on to make a life for themselves and we proud to call themselves, Americans.

It’s either that or we will end up throwing away that which they worked so hard to bring about. Is that really what we want to do? Have we become that selfish, that self-serving, that…greedy? Has it now become easy for many to look into the eyes of their children knowing full well that what we are demanding today in the way of ‘government benefits’, will have to be paid for by them. Do we think that as they grow older they won’t come to realize that which we essentially did to them, and then come to resent us to some degree? Resent us because we saw ourselves as being more important than them? And even if we presume it to be already too late to take action, we should not, no, we MUST not, allow that to convince us that there is now simply no point. Because there is a point, it’s to safeguard what was handed down to us so that we can then pass it down to our kids.
