Ask the president |
Good By Old School America!!!
The United States of America has entered a mid stroke phase into the unilateral destruction of a way of life. A way of life that has been lived for more than 200 years. This "change" has been taking place for better part of two decades now but has accelerated greatly during the past five years. During the past year, our country has lost what some say and even insist we can not, nor will not, get back. What is this? In any economic system the simple law of demand and supply will always exist. The demand (consumption) cannot occur unless supply is generated.
The only descructive force in the entire world that can destroy this country is most solely, the destruction of our economic infrastructure. That is, our manufacturing base. Without our manufacturing base, we simply DO NOT HAVE the supply necessary to meet the demand. The supply in actual earned income, whereas, the demand is consumption. Very simple, but yet is seems as though our greatest leaders have forgotten this or chose to disregard it. Without our manufacturing base, there will be NO need for a service sector because no one will make goods and products to sell for an income in order to hire service people.
This cycle is absolute! Without our industrial machine, our America, the America we've known for so many decades will cease to exist! There is NO question of this.
How could this have happened? Well, it's neither Republican or Democratice...alone...it's both! The first Bush originated NAFTA for example while every single president since then has supported it. This is only one variable. With NAFTA comes free market trade with 3rd world countries that are dying to live off the fruit of America's efforts. Our forefathers lived and died so that we American Citizens could have the opportunity and benefits of making money and yes, profit off manufacturing within our country. That is, manufacturing products in the states, by American Citizens for companies owned by American Citizens.
Instead, we are selling our jobs, our companies, our businesses, and yes, even our land to other countries...at whose expense? Ultimately, our own. The "change" has and is occurring in such a slow manner compared to the Country in general that we lose sight of the terrible path we are on.
What can we do? Stop NAFTA and any other system which gives preference to other countries over our own country. Be loyal to America. Stop selling our souls just to make a buck. This goes for businesses and our own government. Some have said that the choices our government has made be removing tarriffs and instituting NAFTA are treasonous. I would agree. These "changes" have and continue to damage and ultimately DESTROY our National Security. If you take the industrial might, the manufacturing ability of a country from it, IT WILL FALL, in this day and time. Bottom line. We will fall unless a MAN or WOMAN of true American Originalist ideas comes back to the scenes and takes us back where we belong.
We have fallen because our interests were so much on other countries welfare, spreading the wealth, and the such, that we have let the gates, hedges, and walls that protect us, go without maintenance and protection. Yes, PROTECTION.
I am only an American Citizen. However, my family name goes back many generations with many lines have lived in this GREAT country that my father and fore fathers lived and died for. YES! It is a Great Idea...Freedom without tyranny. Sovereignty, without feeling like you have to take care of all the world. We need to focus on our own land or we're GOING TO LOSE IT.
Thank you so much for the opportunity. I hope that some American Citizen with REAL American Values can take hold of this situation and really effect "Positive Change" to take us BACK to where our fore fathers would be proud. The Constitution is a living document and by that they meant it is a fixed and always living document set forth as the standard for government and law...never to change or to be weakened.
Thank you!
