They are not Patriots. They are cowards 11-12-12
I keep hearing that our country is not done for because there are still patriotic people left, that there are still principled conservatives in the Republican Party that will fight to get the country back. I’m being told that I am over reacting to the election results and the shellacking the party’s handpicked moderate candidates got across the board. I’m being told that in two years we will be able to overcome the welfare state and the grotesquely obese public sector which now dwarfs the private sector because things will be so bad that everyone will see the light and decided to abandon their free ride. Really, I mean Really? Have you been paying any attention to the events that have led us down this path? This is not a matter of politics as usual, you know we win some and loose some. This is a result of the total collapse of what has always made America great, our men.
I’m sorry
but we live in a time in history when men as we have known them in our country’s
past no longer exist. The American male has become a faint shadow of his heroic
past. I believe that it is the greatest tragedy that has befallen any nation,
or civilization. Compare the men who put their very existence on the line to
establish this great Nation, to the absolute cowards that run our country today.
They are more worried about their own comfort than the well-being of the people
they are supposed to represent. The gold standard for this bunch of timid soles
is the fact that they are more worried about what people think and say about
them than they are about doing the right thing. This single fact disqualifies these
men from calling themselves leaders. Do you want proof? Walk up to any
politician today and mention Welfare reform, Social Security reform, Immigration
reform, Medicaid reform, Tort reform, Tax reform, Healthcare reform, Campaign
finance reform or ask them to stand against Gay Marriage, Abortion, Unions. Ask
a politician to demand racial profiling when it comes to Terrorist, or to
support the death penalty. Demand a budget from a Senator or that Congress not
raise the debt ceiling. Demand that they balance the Federal budget. Do I have
to go on? The reason we are facing the absolute demise of the greatest nation
the world has ever known is that we are being led by cowards. It is not the Supreme
courts job to decide on these issues it is the Congress duty to make law, to
deal with these problems yet they have totally abdicated their responsibility
in order to pad their nest, improve their standing, and guaranty their comfort.
OK, if that’s true then why are they there in the
first place? Well, the sad fact is because we are more worried about our own comforts
than the well-being of our neighbors and will allow this country to die before
we will risk losing them. I’m sorry but when men are willing to give up their
very freedom for a hand out we are done. When a man is willing to allow the
government to take the responsibility for his family, let his neighbors foot
the bill for his family’s well-being, and live off his neighbors toil without a
thought we are done. When men actually believe that it is their right as a
citizen to be taken care of by others we are done. What a disgrace we have
become.
Now, I know that there are men out there that will
read this and be insulted by my statements. Yes, and they will start to think
on their defense but I would ask you to stop and consider the real men who
stood against tyranny, who fought the wars to establish our nation and the ones
who fought to keep it. All of who did so without regard to their own well-being
but for the well-being of others, even those not yet born. I’ve got news for
you. We are not the greatest generation but the weakest. When good men stand by
and let what is happening to this nation go on without a fight these men are
not Patriots but cowards.
