GONE, BUT NOT FORGOTTEN!
COMMON SENSE, RESPONSIBILITY, DUTY, and RESPECT
As we awaken each and every morning, we see that the virtues of Common Sense, Responsibility, Duty, and Respect fleeting from the scene of everyday life. This is the biggest downfall of the once Awesome and Great Country of These United States of America. None of the virtues of life on this planet can be found in abundance any longer. They used to be prevalent and prominent in the lives of everyone, especially as we, as Americans and fellow members of the human race, took on our daily routines and challenges. It seems as though it was only a fairy-tale of long ago, "Once upon a time and far, far away". In order for us as citizens of this earth, especially Americans, you know, We The People, we must produce the intestinal fortitude to change it. We must get back to the basics, to a time when Common Sense, Responsibility, Duty, and Respect was dominant in the lives of each and everyone of us, those of us who remember, and those of whom have gone on before us. It used to seem as though Common Sense, Responsibility, Duty, and Respect came so naturally that it was part of our DNA. It was prominent in our actions and in our every word. But, we know this is not something that can be bred into us, it had to be learned. Our parents and grandparents taught us these virtues by the way they presented themselves and by every word they spoke. We, of whom remember, were taught by example. We are still taught by example today, but the examples are not very good ones. We see on a daily basis that there is a shortage of those of whom are taking on the obligations to our children in order to teach them how to be successful in life, the correct way, and show them how to get along with everyone no matter who they are, where they are from, or even what they are. It is almost non-existent, and for those of whom are trying to do the right thing, they seem to be fighting a losing battle due to society trying to teach them the opposite of that we are attempting to teach. Today, that obligation has become an inconvenience and is cast aside. What an injustice we have heaped upon our future. It is difficult to teach the right way of doing things when they mostly see wrong being rewarded more than right. This has become the norm and is the cause of society's breakdown and we will continue to fail if we do not make the necessary changes. We must stop looking to those who continually do wrong to correct this. We cannot find it in any political party or government organization. If you do not understand that to which I speak , just turn on the television or radio, pick up a newspaper, or just take a look around. This is why corruption is everywhere and in everything. It is in our governments, our schools, our churches, our businesses, and even to the basic necessities of our every day lives. It all comes down to one thing that seems to be the cause of all of the problems, GREED. We must look to ourselves for the answer and the means to correct it. Our governments, not all, but most, are totally infested with it. Most of them are only concerned with what they can get and are not happy with it when they get it. They want more and more, and if we do not give it, then they find some way to take it. They will even go so far as to do away with our rights and our liberties and even to the point of perverting justice in order to accomplish that which they are determined to achieve. They will even go so low as to selling us out to other countries in order to do so. The era of tyranny, totalitarianism, debauchery, and elitism is in full bloom along with the theology of anarchistic and monarchical ideals and the overwhelming pretentiousness of our political leaders in all levels. If you are not familiar with these terms, then I challenge you to look them up and then decide for yourselves how they apply. While they tell us, with a smile on their faces, that they are doing what is best for us all, they are crushing and destroying the very foundations of which our forefathers formed this country. Our Constitution and our very Rights are being exploited and demolished before our very eyes. Our schools are failing our children by not teaching them correctly and preparing them for their upcoming role in our society. This has happened due to the interference of the government in our education system. They refuse to teach the proper history of our country or the world and inflict them with their own ideals and theologies. They strip them of their individuality and their ability to use their minds and imaginations. Our children have become no more than drones rather than people. Our churches, not all, but most, have failed us immensely, by not doing what they were meant to. They have been caught up in the whatever feels good cannot be wrong ideals. They have been initiated into the world of greed as well and are mostly interested in how much they can get. They have failed the people by not holding true to that which they claim to believe. The reason that there are so many dependent upon the government for help is due to the fact that the churches have not fulfilled their obligations and duties as God's stewards. They should repent and get it right before it's too late. Our businesses, again not all, but most, are filled with the want for money, greed, and are totally consumed by it. They will allow products or services into the public and into our homes knowing that they are inferior and potentially harmful and not be concerned because they are blinded by the fact of how much they can make and get by with if they can pay off someone that is supposed to be overseeing the process. They are so obsessed by money that they will over inflate their pay and not think of how difficult it may be for consumers to obtain their products or services. The ones they really stick it to us with are the necessities such as gas, groceries, and the things we need to sustain our everyday lives, power, communication, health care, etc... Now to where it all begins, people in general, once again not all, just most. They are so wrapped up in themselves that if and when they see something wrong, they act as if it is not happening just so they are not bothered or involved in it. If they see someone doing the right thing, they won't take the time to acknowledge the fact that they were doing a good thing or they criticize them for even taking the time to do so. Through the years we have been desensitized to all forms of deviation and madness, whether through television, movies, video games, and most recently, the internet. It is through these avenues that we have become numb to corrupt politics, major crimes, and even to the point that if someone is doing or believing in something that does not agree with what we do or believe in, then they are forced to not fulfill their rights because of it. For an example, If one child is allergic to peanuts, then we keep all children from having them instead of the parents teaching them to stay away from that which could do them harm. Parents have, for one excuse or another, failed to do their jobs as parents in how our children think, feel, believe, and conduct themselves in society. The jobs as parents has been turned over to everyone else, be it teachers, pastors, law enforcement, etc.., just as long as the persons to which has given birth to the child or children does not have to be bothered with the responsibility. As this takes place more and more, we wonder how we have come to the place where we are now. We are so oblivious and caught up in ourselves that we allow our government to take control of almost everything and not even bat an eye about it. This is why we have children killing children, other people and even their own parents. They have no respect for their elders because most of them see their elders being disrespectful themselves. The same goes for responsibility, they see so many others being irresponsible that it seems as though that is how it is supposed to be. Remember, children learn by example. It seems as though everyone is searching for the easiest way to do everything. Nothing good or worthwhile is easy. It is time to get back to the basics, COMMON SENSE, RESPONSIBILITY, DUTY, and RESPECT, if we do not, then we are going to see it get a lot worse. If you think that the thought of becoming socialist bothers you now, just sit back, as we have been doing, and that will be nothing compared to what will be. The upcoming elections and even the Presidential election a little later on is to be the deciding factor in where we are to end up as a country. We need to vote carefully and put aside the party thing and vote for those of whom display Common Sense, Responsibility, Duty, and Respect. They don't have to be rich or even experienced in order to do the job. I, for one, was proud of the fact that America had finally overcome it's past and elected an African American as President, but, we did not know at the time that he would take us down a very dark and dangerous road. He is our Manchurian candidate and for all the purposes that have come to light, we know why he was elected. If you speak out against anything that he does, especially the wrong things, the race card is immediately played, and those of whom put him there knew that it would be this way. Everything that can be done to distract us from what is really happening is being done. We had better be more vigilant in keeping our eyes and ears open and pay attention to what is going on or we are heading for real trouble. Government is becoming too involved in everything and taking control of things that they have no business in, we have to put the brakes on this and fast. We are being dictated to by other countries and organizations on how we are to conduct ourselves and our very way of life, this too needs to stop. Healthcare and the free market systems are being invaded and this also needs to be halted. Government has lost touch with reality and we, and only we, can change this. It is time for those who are supposed to work for us actually come from us, having to work for the means necessary in everyday life, living on a budget, having to decide whether to buy food or make a whole car payment, because this is the real America. I am sick and tired of the lip service given us at every election when they have no idea what it is really like out here. And telling us that they are going to fight for us when they have no intention in doing so. We need to be rid of those of whom have taken advantage of us and taken us for a ride for so long. They are the reason why the rest of the world thinks so badly of us. It is those of whom represent us that they do not like, not the American people as a whole. It is because of what we let our leaders get away with as to why they no longer respect us. How can we influence anyone else when we allow all that is happening to continue? Is it any wonder why they do not want to listen to what we have to say or want us involved in their lives? If America is to be respected and revered as before, then we have to change the way things are done in this country. We need COMMON SENSE, RESPONSIBILITY, DUTY, and RESPECT in Washington DC and everywhere else in America that there is a political office and positions of authority With this, we will have more compassion for one another and more consideration towards one another as well. All of the racial nonsense has to stop and stop now. We could have already been past that, but our so-called leaders would have none of it. You have to understand that our so-called leaders would not have any interest in anything unless there is profit to be made, regardless of who or how many are hurt by it. This includes a lot of things, and if you take a few moments to give it some thought, you will realize that it envelopes quite a few areas to which we have had problems with, race, religion, education, immigration, political standings, etc. & etc... May God Bless Us All, whatever or whomever he or she is to you, and continue to watch over us, and lead us and guide us in the ways we should be heading. Until the next time, Your Fellow American,
