America's Marxist
On 18-Aug-2010, First Post wrote: Economic Collapse of 2008~2016 TARP ! Obama-Care ! dave - not a "fact" just a 'feeling' . . . and to some 'feelings' are facts ~ RHF . If you are looking for a perfect America where such scandals and improprieties won't exist then you'll be waiting for the end of time because it will never happen. The one thing that we did not have in those decades past was a population that believed they were simply entitled to anything and everything and government was going to take away from one group in order to give to another. Until the citizens literally take back their country from the ****ing government you will see no change for the better. When Watergate happened everyone from the citizenry up through all ranks of government were ****ed and demanding action. If Watergate were to occur today (or another Waco or Iran Contra etc) porbably no one other than politicians would give a **** and only then because they could use such events to their own benefit. A large portion of the population today only care about one thing, "I'm gonna get mine". That was not the case 25 or 30 years back. Politicians have always been predominately crooked to one degree or another. But nowadays the people have become nearly as corrupt in their thinking as the politicians. As I stated here around 2 years ago, the people will elect the government they deserve. And they have. We have become a much more divided nation than we have been in decades and we now have a government that reflects it. Instead of the people being the bosses of the government the government now tells us what to think and how to feel. You gave examples of a lot of bad things that occured throughout the last 30 or so years but it should also be noted that in that same time period, as a people, we were better human beings than we are today. Then we tried to look out for our neighbors and it was common to see folks talking to each other over their fences and their children playing up and down the streets of their neighborhoods. 50 years ago people, whether successful at it or not, at least tried to live a "Leave It To Beaver" lifestyle. We would stop and help a stranded stranger on the side of the road and typically neither party had any reason to be fearful of the other. We had no problem throwing a few bucks into the salvation army bucket or at some other charity near the holidays. Nowadays we are generally afraid to even drive down the street without being safely locked in our cars, we are afraid to let our kids play together outside after school and we look at our neighbors that may have a little more than us with disdain. And instead of trying to live the American dream we now lazily say that "it's impossible to live a perfect life so **** it, may as well be an asshole." Indeed, we might possibly be much better off today if the people themselves had the same morals and outlooks on life that they had 30 or more years ago. If we did then maybe we would not be so quick to tolerate the type of bull**** that we've had to put up with for the last 25 years. Thanks! I feel like the Cavalry has arrived! |
