AMERICA ...

Where is the right of the 93 % ?

(page 1)

This is the deplorable tragedy that America is experiencing these days, forgetting who she is and what she was, and drifting into supersonic roller coaster towards oblivion. This may sound dramatic and alarming, but let me take you on a journey that does not require a lot of your time and review, with me, a synopsis of the concerns an owner employer should have seeing his empire falter.

America became a beacon of hope and greatness because our forefathers realized that they represent the people and that they are employed by the people, and with that spirit, they wrote the constitution, bearing in mind first and foremost the people’s welfare and well being, prosperity and advancement, liberty and equality, and they have assumed the role of attorney, who prepares the by-laws of an enterprise armed with the codes of law, and in our case, the laws of Almighty God.

God endowed this country of ours with all the resources needed to make it so great, and it is quite safe to recognize it as the greatest, since it has the potpourri of brains, muscles and bodies. It glorifies itself in the beautiful mixture of global cultures, expertise and resourcefulness. Every American that is nationally or internationally recognized for his or her achievements, contributions and inventions, is an immigrant, whose forefathers or him/herself originally came from one of this world’s nations.

America stayed a leader and a force, to be reckoned with, by subscribing to the foresight of our forefathers, the real founders and forerunners of this great nation, and cherished their struggle for independence and liberty for all, thus creating a haven, where:

*The presidency was patriotic, reverent, unwavered and uninfluenced.

* The politicians and legislators worked hard to improve and protect life for all,

* The military was, beside decoration and medals and victories, crowned with integrity, patriotism and valiancy.

* The doors for all oppressed were wide open to land in this great country,

* Abundance, hospitality and benevolence made it the land of opportunity,

* Honesty, chivalry, morals, and decency were the norms not the exception,

* Every life, the born and the unborn, the abled and the disabled, was sacred,

America today lacks the base, the substance and the drive that made it great, and substituted the ethical with the immoral, the sacred with the sacrilege, the workers with the bureaucrats, and the government by the people for the people with the government of anarchist politicians, who are more concerned about what the president had for supper than to serve the American public.

What happened to America The Beautiful ? What happened to America the Accountable ? What happened to America The caring Mother ? What happened to America The Light of the World? What happened to America the pioneer in education, in human rights and human dignity ?

It is obvious that the preacher who does not live by what he preaches gets no followers, because he lost his leadership by failing to be the roll model and his sanctuary and coffers will soon be empty. How can Americans get jailed, penalized and severely punished, should they miss up their accounting and they are required to keep a diary, receipts, proofs and evidences, and meet deadlines, yet their representatives in government, who are supposedly expert, write checks that bounce and can not even balance the budget, I guess, the simple answer it is not that easy, because of lack of BI-partisan agreements. Mind you, we pay them to do nothing and they keep voting on one extension after another, postponing it until doomsday.
