AMERICA - A MALIGNANCY IS GROWING
AMERICAN’S ARE BEING BETRAYED BY INCOMPETENT LEADERSHIP
There is a cry, more of a whimper, asking American citizens to standup and be counted, to take account of what’s happening to each of us, recognize the “sell-out” of America to greedy opportunist….to confront a worthless Congress and Administration that takes us to war, waffles, hesitates, back-tracks, cries the “war is lost”…to demand leadership work on issues affecting citizens right here in America……so far it’s ho hum…yawn…
What’s it going to take………gas to reach $8.00 per gallon? Milk at $10.00 per gallon, bread at $6.00 a loaf, a small can of beans at $3.00, eggs at $5.00 per dozen, another 20 million illegal aliens to endanger our highways, clog our emergency rooms, over-crowd our schools, fill our prisons, empty social programs? Think about it…….will we continue to sit at home and whine while politicians, corporations, wall-street and others bleed us dry. The prices and conditions above are coming unless American citizens demand an end to corruption and insist on leadership and accountability throughout America for America.
In case America has forgotten, nearly everything we consume, need, use, comes to us via truck. Are you aware of diesel fuel costs today? Over $4.00 per gallon and rising everyday…….you know what that means for American citizens that need to eat, put fuel in their vehicles to get to work, put clothes on children, go to church? It translates to being gouged, betrayed, abandoned by leadership in America and an outside enemy.
Worse yet, in addition to cowardly American leadership, it should be obvious where the basic gouging occurs. Middle Eastern and other nations are feeding on the blood of our warriors and the dollars being stolen from us at our own gas pumps.
If there was ever validity to the “trickle down effect”, it is a reality in America today……when gas prices increase a penny, so does your milk, eggs,meat, butter, bread and beans…do you realize milk and egg price has nearly doubled in the last year..farmers are impacted by fuel prices greatly…take off your blinders my friends, we are caught in a vicious cycle. The terrorist and those that support them have us where they want us. We sacrifice lives, body parts and blood, spend billions in treasure in a tangible fight for freedom in Iraq and Afghanistan while Muslim countries and enemies of America drain our pocket books through American gas stations. It will take courageous leadership to untangle the mess.
So what about American leadership? Hear of any new oil wells being drilled anywhere in American soil? Any new refineries being built? Any serious efforts on alternative fuels? Any action on the billions being spent to care for illegal aliens? No, the Administration and Congress come up with some cockamamie scheme of rebate which may fill the tanks twice. They ignore the basic problem because to fix it would cut the profits of the greedy corporations, speculators, politicians, and oil producing countries…
All we hear is the insane, disgusting, rhetorical insulting nonsense from presidential candidates who are filled with a selfish, personal power agenda…one candidate suggests taking the gas tax off for the summer…no one ever accused a politician of deep thinking…….none of them worth the crotch sweat of one American warrior who they use as cannon fodder.
Folks I’ll tell you, I think I know how to get the attention of those who have accepted leadership responsibility…it will require action from tens of millions of Americans that love our nation, what it stands for, willing to sacrifice and put America before personal need. I used to think the ballot box was the answer, but it isn’t.
We must step onto the street, put “boots on the ground” in massive numbers throughout America and bring America to a halt for a few days….in short send a message that “we’ve had enough and demand solutions for America, not the world”…or worse is to come.
Many of us have spent some time in the fox-hole and we have men and women in the fox-hole today…politicians of both parties sold me and America out by surrendering a war we won in Viet Nam and I see a great deal of comparison in Washington that reflects another sell-out attitude.
Today, the sell-out reaches well beyond military impact. If we honestly examine conditions in America, we can only conclude a disaster is in the making and our very existence is in jeopardy.
I am only one, but Friday from 4 PM to 6 PM I’ll be on the street in my town…it’s not enough, but it’s something and I can do more.
