Insanity

Ok, so it has been awhile since I have written anything, but it is so hard to keep all the insanity straight. First of all, congratulations to America for having a voice in November. It is about time the American people spoke up about how tired we are of the "change" that is going on. Government healthcare, increasing debt, corruption in the administration, higher unemployment, etc. It is high time that our government get out of the habit of not listening to what the American people want. If I am right, this is the greatest nation on the face of the Earth. Why are we allowing this country to go down the path toward the European model. Greece has had financial crisis, Ireland is bankrupt, and Spain is on the horizon. So why are we so damned determined to go down the same road. I don't get it. Thomas Paine recognized the importance of the American experiment in 1776. He stated in Common Sense, "The cause of America is in a great measure the cause of all mankind". Our founding fathers (and mothers) knew that this nation was an experiment in building a Republic that had not been seen before. They knew that it's fate would greatly impact the world. And here we stand on the brink of changing our Republic into something that has, as history has already demonstrated, failed. And not just once but over and over and over again. Why? What is the reasoning to mess with something that is not broke. I know what is the end game, but our leaders will not tell you the truth. They, along with many around the world, want a one world government where economically and politically we are all equal. But why in the world would be want to join in on a team that is and has failed, or at the very least, struggled. Look, I am not saying that American's are a superior race or even better human beings. All I am saying is that I am a man that is proud of my nation and the impact it has had on the freedoms of our own people and those who have struggled to achieve what Americans have. The freedom of religion, speech, assembly, to own property, to start a business, to have a family, etc. In essence, the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Does anyone remember that?
