What are YOU doing for America…and yourself?



 What are YOU doing for America…and yourself?
            Each week my program closes with a quote from President Kennedy asking what you can do for your country.   Veterans know what to do because they’ve done it, and have been given a lousy deal in return.   Congress, and that’s both sides of the aisle, have been surgically altered, apparently, because they have no spine and no testicles.
Americans, that is the generations coming up behind mine, are quietly receptive of the pap they are being fed, and never realizing that what they’re becoming is a nation of sheep…and rather ignorant sheep at that.   It’s no secret that our government is corrupt, and it’s been that way for generations.  In all fairness, it hasn’t been just the current administration although they are the most blatant in their desire to see America crushed.
            There was a time, and I’ve said this before, when we were top dog, king of the hill, the one and only…but that position of eminence seems to have been taken away from us.  The halo that once topped our head has slipped and become a noose, and we are not doing much about it.   Our politicians are on the take, from every quarter, and for any reason you can think of.  Perhaps it’s time to just vote everybody out, start fresh with a new resolve to stick to what really made this country great…the Constitution.  We are trashing it, we are shredding it, we are ignoring it…we are doing everything but following it.   Where do you think that’s going to get us?   Is there a knight in shining armor, on a white horse, coming to save us?   I think not.
            My father used to tell me that if I needed a helping hand there was one at the end of each of my arms.   That, if you want to translate it as I have, means that whatever needs to be done is going to have to be done by you…and not you alone, but by millions of you.  Another saying to think about is “If not now, when, and if not me, who?”.   The American people have the Constitutional right to abolish the government when it no longer serves the people.   That’s in the Declaration of Independence and while that document severed the relationship between the colonies and England, it could very well apply to the present situation.   We need to separate ourselves from a government that is not doing its job.   The American Revolutionary war might be considered a military coup, and since we have the law on our side, why not have another one?
            You and I and millions like us can raise our voices and call for the complete removal of all the current administration and all members of Congress.   Oh, you think that’s too drastic?   Think of the government as a cancer, which it is in many cases, and what do you do with a cancer?   You excise it before it kills you.   Recent elections, where we thought the new members of Congress were going to be a breath of fresh air turned out to be only stale vapors and it was business as usual.  Speaking for myself that’s not an option that should continue.   Yes, I write to my elected officials, but what do I get?   Form letters that do not address, in any way, what I have written them.   That, to me, is not a responsive government and if they are not going to be responsive to what the public wants and expresses a need for, they have to go.
            So, my friends, it looks like protests get their attention…as witness Ferguson, Baltimore, Black Lives Matter and on and on.  What about a couple of million steadfast Americans marching on Washington demanding the impeachment, indictment and incarceration of the entire current administration?   Would that get their attention?
Hmm…I wonder how long it will be before “the suits” and guys with earpieces, will show up and conservative talkers will begin having “heart attacks” or “auto accidents”.   There’s been enough stuff done in real life, as well as on TV and in books, so that it should be well-known that accidents can be staged, heart attacks can be made to happen and people can disappear and never be heard from again.
            When Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Mark Levin begin to have these occurrences that will be the time for me to worry…but for now, I’m going to continue to have my say and I sincerely hope that it’s making a difference somewhere, somehow.   In particular, I want to address the American Jews.  Are you so far removed from World War Two that it is ancient history?   Are you so far removed from World War Two that you cannot remember the concentration camps…the gas chambers…the ovens?   Do you have expectations that your wealth, your education, your gated community is going to save you?
Here’s a quote you should pay attention to…”Secure our borders first. Let us know and let us make sure the American people know that we're taking care of the important business of dealing with the illegal immigration into this country. You cannot begin to address the concerns of the people who are already here unless and until you have made certain that no more are coming in behind them.” by Michael Steele former Lt. Governor of Maryland.
