AMERICA ...

Where is the right of the 93 % ?(page 3)

(continue)

Freedom of the press is wonderful and very much needed, but when enough is enough ? If the freedom of speech and the freedom of the press were equipped with today’s technologies, America and the Allies will not win the war.

Everybody has the right to life, to freedom, to protection, to advancement, to education, to peace of mind, to jobs and opportunities, to adequate housing and shelter, but where in the world a tiny group of people, mostly 2 % plus 5 % cheerleaders, claiming the right to legally kill, such as in abortion and gun sales, or the right to promiscuously live, such in the gay movement and sexual harassment, or the right to blindly discriminate, such as in KKK and supremacist factions, or the right to illegally assemble, such as in Nazism, Communism and Fascism, or the right to openly defy, such as in Mafia and gangs, and the right to mismanage, such as in banks and big monopolies, and the list goes on.

When the banks, Insurance companies and other regulated institutions, which became insolvent or bankrupted, where were the representative government, who are employed and were paid to monitor all those establishments and prevent such occurrences.

Citizens with the help of some doctors are robbing the Welfare and SSI systems with billions of dollars, and the authority claim to be short on auditors, investigators and monitors. If the cow happens to fall by accident, then the vultures will attack.

You are innocent until proven guilty, it is wonderful, decent and noble; but before the ink of your arrest dries, for being a suspect or witness, the media already convicted you, and dug your great grandfather’s grave, and scattered his remains with the four winds. Followed like sheep by the government, who love to be in the limelight and whose statements lately are more of a quote from the media than their investigation. The televised courts became multicolored multifaceted circuses of so-called experts witnesses, display of latest fashion, notoriety and futility.

If you travel outside this country, you will be amazed of the number of successful foreigners who graduated from American Colleges and Universities, and the education the way it should be ended with the baby boomers of this country. Lately, education has become another bleeding thorn in the flesh of this dying nation. Is it possible that the whole world, who mostly copied the American curricula and maintained them until today, has gone wrong, and now American has invented itself once more to graduate kids, who do not know how to read, fail math, and complain that they have a lot to learn. What happen to America that created and prepared the greatest brains of this world, and transformed the face and destiny of this world through the strength of over 200 years of existence based on the solid education and loyalty and pride of its citizens ? What happen to the right of equal opportunity of education for all, the privileged and the underprivileged? What happened to the reverence for the teaching faculties ? What happened to competition and excellence?

We decided to become falling leaders, and we substituted the good with the ugly by distracting students with the introduction of condoms and sexual education, we brought them toys in the form of computers to facilitate their homework, we lessened the volume of their homework, no or little home assignments. We emphasized their rights to be protected from their parents’ loving and necessary discipline. We encouraged them how to disrespect teachers and elders.

We stole their thunders and initiatives, their desire and aspiration, their application and adaptation, their hand work and ambition, and we are preparing them to be bums and irresponsible, gang organizers and recruiters, with heavy machinery and artilleries, drug users and dealers, law-breakers and murderers, and we introduced them to a new realm called : babies having babies. Finally we have given them a loaded gun and declared them worthy to handle it. Over 200 years of excellent schooling, safe schooling, productive schooling, model schooling and strict schooling are now old fashion and change is good. How good is it, our contemporary and innovative government knows better !?!?

We should focus on what unite us and overcome the tri-dimensional hostilities of bigotry, hypocrisy and double standards caused by the scattered jigsaw puzzle our genius politicians have created.

To be a true American is not a birth or citizenship certificate, be it a citizenship by birth or by choice, or who came first to this land, it’s a calling, a privilege and a full time job in the collective pursuit of unity, happiness and prosperity for one and all, for the poor and burdened as well as the rich and well off.

My plea that the remaining 93 % of the silent majority shareholders of our America would wake up soon, andclaim back their rightful inheritance in their America the Beautiful, and fire the corrupt politicians, and incarcerate the outlaws and law-breakers, who almost finish drafting our obituary.
