America Divided

Ever notice how many great quotes our forefathers gave us? I mean real words to live by"give me liberty.......", "I regret I have but one life to give..........", words that stir feelings and patriotism.
All we get today are "I didn't inhale".

One quote that had an ominous ring then, has begun to have an ominous ring now, "A house divided against itself cannot stand".
Pretty Boy John said in '04, "there are two America's". What he meant was there one America that get's to live in houses that use up too much energy, and the rest of us live in the other kind...........

There is another division out there though, one that has been growing quietly now for sometime.
We find our self inching closer to a civil war, not necessarily one with guns (at least not yet), but one that will have a profound and lasting effect on our sovereignty, our lifestyle, our freedoms.
There are those that would have us believe that America is evil, that the foot print that it leaves on peoples lives is one that needs to be changed. That the traditions and values that founded this land are no longer valid, and are too restrictive and oppressive for us to continue to hold them up as a measuring stick for our actions as we move through out daily lives.

Who are these people that are selling the end of American sovereignty and why?

Years ago Karl Marx and friends fleshed out a plan for mankind, mostly because they didn't really want to work themselves, but they might want to enjoy the finer things in life. You know, the car's not running right, I'll pick up another one on the way home....................(I'm always wary of people who sit around in dark closets and plan everyone elses life for them).
Anyway those ideas seem so much easier and so much fairer......... course we're gonna need a group that understands the program to be sort of a central "guides"(government leaders) to direct things until everyone can navigate the program...................and who gets to be that group..............?

The bottom line is that this form of governing has been shown to be a miserable failure (unless you get to hold the reins) yet they keep running it at us year, after year, after year.......
They seemed to have dumbed down the populous so they don't recognize what's happening, they just think "it's not gonna cost me anything................." here comes social program after social program.

Our European brethren have many a social program....... plus 50% + taxes for everyone, unions, and 10-20% unemployment.................but you get a month off with pay and you never have to pay for a Dr............you get to wait in long lines, but you don't have to pay.

This seems to be the real 2 America's we're headed for..............one that carries on American traditions and one with their hand out.

I heard a good idea today on the radio, if your on welfare, you don't get to vote. Sounds a little harsh but after all if you don't pay taxes, why do you get to decide how taxes are spent.

Who will vote for the Dem's then??

“Remember that a government big enough to give you everything you want is also big enough to take away everything you have."--Barry Goldwater

If we give the government the power to confiscate our arms we also give up the ultimate means to combat that corrupt power. In doing so we can only assure that we will eventually be totally subject to it.” —Ronald Reagan
