Current mood:  cynical Category: News and Politics
I will be vigilant...I hope that you will be too. I don't want to end up like Spain...or Cuba. Get a clue people, charisma alone will not fix the course of The United States of America. We are in for a long haul where the effect of regulation of industry and commerce by our government will certainly drive the cost of current goods through the roof, because that is what it always does.
I hereby serve notice to all of you, my fellow Americans, that we need to remain vigilant, as our resources (that's goods, services, and manpower) are dissected, by foreign interests, like the wealthy China , Japan, and Middle East OPEC power mongers continue to gobble up our resources (industry) and land. We will need to FORCE our elected officials to fight for OUR rights. Not the rights of
China will never invade the US, nor will they nuke us....they wouldn't want to harm their property or the people who are buying their goods.
Now, back to the current issues at hand:
Unemployment-jobs will continue to be shipped overseas as the cost of doing business here in the USA is too expensive (people are demanding too much pay for too little value, skill, all while demanding better benefits, yet productivity is down. We may have invented industry but complacency and a false sense of entitlement have allowed every other industrialized nation to surpass us in efficiency and quality... therefore destroying our ability to compete in the global market.
This, and this alone is why we no longer have the leverage to be the "Big Kid On The Block" globally. Our wealth has been whittled away by a minority...a minority that wants more, but does not want to work harder for it.
The Athiests took God out of government and schools, and in turn want to take away the majority's right to even celebrate Christmas freely. That's right, soon there will be no freedom to utter God, Jesus, and even say "Merry Christmas" on the street...because it will offend someone who doesn't share your beliefs. That litigious streak in our country that athiests have has undermined the very reason The United States came to be in the first place: The Right to worship God as you see fit. 10 Percent of the population (Athiests and Non-Christians) are pushing out the very God that was a driving force in the birthing of our beloved nation.
Foreign born citizens are even demanding that The Pledge of Allegiance be banned, because God is uttered in it (Not their God)...and they also want us to teach things in their native tongues.
I'm sorry, but Fu** that!!! You've come to the USA because your homeland is a piece of shit! If US money is good enough for you to earn and spend; if the US Military that protects you is good enough to protect you and your rights; and if our national language is English and it's good enough for us, you'd better learn it, live it, and love it or go elsewhere.
This country was founded by a belief that God/freedonm of religion is an integral part of life, and English is OUR native language, so if you are enjoying the rights and privileges that these United States of America afford you, you'd better not piss on what it was founded by.
No one who stormed the beaches of Normandy, June 6th, 1944 was asking Allah for strength in an Arabic dialect. No Sailor I know of was calling on Buddha for the strength to save his shipmates on December 7th, 1941 in Pearl Harbor in Cantonese.
Yet English speaking Americans died liberating the Arabic nations oppressed by Nazi German and Italian forces so that they could worship their Allah. Similar English Speaking soldiers, sailors, and airmen from The United States also pushed Japanese oppressors out of China, where genocide against the Chinese was occurring during WWII.
These same Arabic nations who now seek to destroy us...these same communists who'd deny us the very freedoms we helped them obtain in WWII...remember that folks, when they come for your guns, jobs, and your rights. Better find your faith, your conviction, and educate yourself before it's too late.
Because if you don't believe in and stand for anything, you'll fall to your knees for anything.
These are my thought and opinions. Far too many better men and women (better than you and I) have died for my right to express these opinions, and I honor them by expressing them, and fighting to continue to do so. Try that in the Baltic States, Middle East, China, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Spain, Cuba, Serbia, etc. If you speak out there, a mob will rob you, burn your ass in the town square, and hang you on the city gates.
God Bless America
Jeff GoodP.S. It would seem as though I have a bunch of people jumping to all sorts of conclusions based on my li' printed opinion here today. So, as a rebuttal to those who are confused, misguided, and as a clarification to all (agree with me, hate my effin guts, or just idly standing by taking it all in):A) I'm a (well, I was a) staunch born and raised Democrat. I however have lost faith in ALL politicians, and I would have issued the same statements/opinions above regardless of who our country elected. I don't trust them, they do not impress me, and likely I will never trust them again between now and my death.B) I am the furthest thing from a racist (although no one has sacked up to tell me that they thought so, I know some silly Fokker(s) out there was(are) thinking that) and I have a pretty damn good track record to prove it (college friends, roomates, current friends, colleagues, students, and neighbors). So, if you want to drop that card, pick it up right now and stuff it up your misguided ass. Every human being starts off with 100 percent of my respect, until they do something to to lose it. Anyone who's paid attention to me over any period of time would know that.I've admired many men and women of color for many different reasons throughout my life, and will continue to recognize the positive accomplishments of all humanity, regardless of race, creed, color, or NFL team affiliation.C) In every presidential election I have been eligible to partake in, I have voted my EDUCATED opinion. Sadly, when I have dug deeply into every candidates record, I have been profoundly disappointed. The same applies for governors, most senators, and most congressional candidates.Yet I continue to vote, and voice my opinions. As stated above, I honor those who've fought for my rights, as well as the rights of all my fellow Americans to speak freely, to worship without prejudice, and to vote. Did I say anything about any candidate in particular in the previous statements? NO, I did not...D) Which brings me to my final clarification: Vigilance, by definition means:vigilance Dictionary.com Unabridged (v 1.1) - Cite This Source - Share This vig⋅i⋅lance .. type="text/javascript"> var interfaceflash = new LEXICOFlashObject ( "http://cache.lexico.com/d/g/speaker.swf", "speaker", "60", "18", "..", "6"); interfaceflash.addParam("loop", "false"); interfaceflash.addParam("quality", "high"); interfaceflash.addParam("menu", "false"); interfaceflash.addParam("salign", "t"); interfaceflash.addParam("FlashVars", "soundUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fcache.lexico.com%2Fdictionary%2Faudio%2Fluna%2FV01%2FV0125700.mp3"); interfaceflash.write(); ..>..> ..> /ˈvɪdʒ ələns/ Show Spelled Pronunciation  [vij-uh-luhns] Show IPA Pronunciation

Now that I've handled the formalities, here's the rub people:
"Always question authority; always do your homework-research your candidate's history and track record; choose substance over style."
That is my wish and my advice to all of you.
I pray for the world to flourish in peace and harmony. To experience a new renaissance of cultural highs, to extinguish disease and suffering. But until that utopian dream is realized WE are responsible for our own fate in THIS, the greatest country on Earth because we do have the power. The tools to educate ourselves are available, we just have to work for them and use them to the best of our ability.
