Let me say, right off the
bat, this is about several things that I think I understand...but that a lot of
Americans do not. We have a black
president, and that is a good thing because it does show that it can be done. On the other hand, the president is an
incompetent, lying, probably foreign-born, idiot. He has surrounded himself with people that
think like he does...and he does not like the United States. I believe that his Attorney General, Eric
Holder, has no idea of what he's supposed to be doing because he's doing the
opposite. He was held in contempt of
Congress and didn't lose 20 seconds sleep over it. Granted, the current president inherited a
couple of wars that may, or may not, have been warranted, I'll leave that to
history...but he has made it all worse, much worse. The general thinking in this administration
is that they can lie to the public, about everything, and the public will buy
it. Congress has become so wussified
that there aren't enough real patriots to make a difference, and that is
obvious, because of the mess we're in.
Our Constitution was made inconsequential by Congress in their
willingness to allow the president to sidestep it.
Although I'm a Republican and a conservative, the
problems that this country faces are not the fault of either party
exclusively...and the problems are huge!
As a nation, we are laughed at, scorned, dismissed as a paper
tiger...and it can't all be laid at the feet of this president, but he's a big
part of it. How far back do we have to
look to find our America? My guess is
that we have to go back to somewhere around 1945 or 1946 when we were the top
dog in the world and no one, but no one, would have dared to take us on! Back then we had patriots, thousands of
them, men and women that had fought for this country because it was the right
thing to do. The thinking then was that
if it was good enough to live here, it was good enough to fight for. Now?
No, I think the armed forces have been selectively emasculated for what
purpose I don't know. When this country
goes to war, the armed forces don't wear a D or an R on their uniforms...they
wear the flag of their country...and they wear it proudly. The navy I served in was not as
technologically great as it is now...but at least the sailors could read,
write, and comprehend what they were doing.
My friends who have not retired, have sent me stories of members of
their units going to remedial reading and writing classes!
Service doesn't just mean the armed forces. The so-called service industries, which used
to be called "the crafts", like plumbing, electricians, carpenters,
masons, and so on...are aging, and there's not enough young people going into
those occupations to keep up. That's one
reason why your service-related bills are going up and up. The upcoming generations have been lulled
into thinking that computers will do it all, and, although they will do a lot,
they will never do it all...when they break down, and they do, there will have
to be a human capable of fixing them. By
the way, try getting a robot or a computer to build shelving, or fix a
backed-up toilet. While we're here on
the subject of jobs...how many do you estimate the Keystone pipeline would
create? That pipeline should be built
for a couple really good reasons, not the least of which IS the jobs.
It's been estimated that,
between the Keystone, the activity in the Dakotas, and whatever we can conjure
up off shore, we could kick the Arab cartel right in the rear end. The deliberate delaying of the pipeline, and
that's what it is, baffles me, as to why the public doesn't wise up? Remember, Obama is for Obama, first, last and
always.
Wake up America!
Larry Usoff, U.S.Navy, REt.
