ONCE UPON A
TIME…
This is how most fairy tales and
bedtime stories for little children begin.
Let’s see how we may apply that phrase now.
Once upon a time the United States
was the shining city on the hill…a place that many legally emigrated to because
of the opportunities. It was THE power
among powers and yet it was the most devoted to peace. It was, and still is, where the governmental
power is peacefully transferred every four years, or at least has an
opportunity to do so. We should keep in
mind, however, that the United States,
once a colony of Great
Britain fought a war to rid themselves of a
government just like the one we have in the Obama administration. Will the American people become so fed up
with the type of government that is now running the country, and rise up in
some sort of revolution? We’ll sit back
and wait and see on that one.
Once upon a time men went into a
restroom that said “Gents”, “Men” or by some graphic, indicated that it was for
men. Women went into a restroom that
said “Women” or “Ladies” or by some graphic that indicated it was for
women. Now here comes the crowd that
THINKS they are something other than what they gender were born and nut-jobs in
private business and government say they can use whatever restroom they want,
because now they think or feel they’re a different gender. Once upon a time women used to take their
small children into the bathroom with them…even boys. So it wasn’t uncommon to see a small child
waiting patiently for his or her mother to finish what she had to do. Nowadays with grown men going into women’s
restrooms, would you take a small child in there, and leave him or her
alone…for even a minute? Back in
August, in Jacksonville, Florida, two small boys went into the
restroom at a McDonalds…their mother used the “buddy system” but it didn’t
work. One of the boys was assaulted…this
particular story has a relatively good ending because they caught the
rapist. Not all stories like this end
this well.
Once upon a time, around 1939 or 1940
the United States Army trained with broomsticks for rifles, automobiles for
tanks, used what equipment they had from The Great War, and had a complement of
about 450 thousand troops. Under the
current administration, which is drawing down all of the services because of
budget constraints, the Army is expected to bottom-out at 420 thousand troops,
just slightly below the pre-war level.
Considering that these draw-downs place the United States in a position of
jeopardy, how can it be justified that we are still giving money in foreign aid
to countries that, at best, just tolerate us?
What does it mean to the average citizen that our military may be
under-manned to the point where it couldn’t defend the homeland, much less wage
a successful war on foreign soil?
Once upon a time it seemed that the
entire “free” world wanted to emigrate to the United States and, to a large
degree that’s still the same. The only
difference is that now we have a problem of illegal aliens walking across a
seemingly non-existent border. Along
with the illegal aliens who may be coming here for employment are probably
people that have the destruction of the United States as their goal. From video clips shown on television it
would seem that even high metal fences are not the whole answer to keep
unwanted people from entering. There
are other, workable, solutions to the border problem but few in the Washington hierarchy are
inclined to listen to them because they WANT those illegal aliens here. Those illegal aliens will, if Democrats have
their way, eventually gain or be granted citizenship and they will most likely
vote for the party that brought them in and gave them the power to bite the
hand that fed them. You only need to
look to California
to see the handwriting on the wall. In
that state illegal aliens can have a driver’s license which, in most instances,
is the key document to getting the rest of whatever is available, including
voting.
Once upon a time, and it wasn’t that
long ago, Americans spoke up when they decided that something was wrong…and the
dissentions were peaceful, but meaningful.
Nowadays the protests are loud, violent and meaningless because many of
the young people involved have no idea what they are protesting about, or
for. They don’t know what Socialism is,
they have no clue as to how the government works, only that they want to change
it, and if you ask them about something of a historical nature you probably will
get a blank stare or a giggle. Yeah…once
upon a time, but that’s just a bedtime story’s beginning and I certainly hope
the United States
is not being tucked into bed for a long sleep.
Wake up America,
your country needs you…desperately.
