Where is our country headed? We just elected a president that was selected for us and promoted by the media and about whom we know very little real information. We do not know anything about his school record or very little. We do not even know for sure that he is an actual native born citizen. Any doubt is enough doubt for that to be verified. Yet it is declared to be unimportant by those who know better than us. Our president elect has a history, a looonnggg history of association with radicals, terrorists and other assorted characters of low reputation, and yet that is declared by those who know better than us to be of little importance. And the majority of the masses said OK!!. His entire campaign was based on "THE CHANGE WE NEED". But what that change was, was never specified. The media and the liberals suckered this country.
So where do we go from here? I dont know. Likely, into lala land. Where the government hands out money, and opens our borders and we all end up on the government dole living 2 families to an apartment in a huge square block of apartments as they do in Russia. Where land belongs to the collective and the "people". Where we stand in lines for hours to buy a single loaf of bread. Where medical care is portioned out and only those whom the state has deemed worthy get what little medical care is available. Where private enterprise is almost non-existant because it has been taxed out of existance in order to "level the playing field" and to give to the 'have nots'.
Where all large businesses and the banks are owned by the government. Where even our day to day lives are regulated and controlled by the government.
This country is giving up its freedoms. I should say the PEOPLE of this country are giving up their freedoms. I was in the military for 10 years as where and are many of my brothers in arms. Serving in the military teaches you the value of freedom. On active duty in the military you give up personal freedom to the whole. You go where you are told, live how you are told, work the job you are assigned, dress how you are told, the military is your mother, father and brother. You do nothing that is not ultimately under the control of those in power over you. You do as you are told. That is the way it has to be....in the military.
Once you have served and return to civilian life, it is a shock. Suddenly everything is YOUR responsibility. No one is there to tell you what, when and where and how. You can starve, or live in the streets. Your life suddenly is yours to live as you choose. Gradually, you adjust. And in time come to realize what a gift freedom is. You come to value what you gave up in service of your country. You love your country even more than before. You learn what a gift freedom is.
And now, we watch as our countrymen give up those freedoms in order to be taken care of. To not have to live with our mistakes or choices. To be taken care of. To be told by those over us, where to live, how to live, what to eat, when to eat, where to work, and where medical care is doled out as we are told what is best for us. That isnt freedom. Those of us who serve and have served know what freedom is. We gave it up in order to serve our country and preserve the freedoms of its citizens. And now our sacrifice and the sacrifice of those before us is being thrown away. Believe me. once you lose your freedom you only appreciate it more. I guess many of our countrymen need to learn that again. And learn what freedom is and how valuable it is.
Wake up America!!
