    America Is Slipping Away

     

         Is everyone tired of this junk yet? This is going to sound like right-wing "BS" as it's been called, but it's the truth. America has been infected with a deadly cancer caused by its own people, yes, you and I. This generation, of which I am apart of, has forgotten how this country is supposed to work. I watch the news everyday and it frightens me to see our country that so many men bled and died for fall away like every nation before her. For one, our government has way too much power. I must stop here and stop what you might be thinking. I am not anti-government, I am not one of those right wing crazies as seems the popular term, so put the thought out of your mind. I believe a government is necessary to help protect the people. But since FDR and Woodrow Wilson were in office this country has been taking a slow and deadly turn. Both presidents, republican and democrat, began the massive power grab for government and over the decades instead of electing presidents who would stop this because it is unconstitutional only furthered the power grab that has engulfed the nation by electing presidents according to political affiliation.

         The 10th amendment of our Constitution states that our federal government is our (the people's) representative and is to only act as such. You see, we do not answer to the government, they answer to us. We are the employer because it is the people who are the supreme rulers in America. Our rights are endowed by our Creator, not generously given to us by the government. God gives us our rights and power and we in turn lend them to the government that our union may not fall apart and we would always be a unified people.

         And based on the Constitution, every man has their own rights devoid of their color, race, language, religion, and heritage. And the government uses them all against us to ensure their power grab. Today is the day when the race card, the language card, the religion card, and the background card need to find their place in the fire never to be brought up again. The Constitution doesn't what your race or religion is and neither does it care! So why do we let it divide us? Surely Dr. King had a different dream than the way we treat each other.

         Politics aside, look around, take a good look at what all is going on and think about whether this country is shaped as the Founders and Dr. King envisioned or has it been corrupted with progressives who seek complete government control where everything is "free" at the taxpayer's expense (that's us), everyone is poor, and the people no longer are the supreme rulers, without rights and are forced to live in the shadows of what once was the land of opportunity.
