A political time-out is needed in America
I admit to being only half-smart, and obviously opinionated, but I just don’t understand how the leftie loosies can accuse us rightie tighties of obstructing and not compromising. Our compromising has moved the country so far left that we don’t even recognize socialism. And now, everyone is entitled.
Our civil courts have become a legal system for extortion. If an entertainer makes a fortune, they are a hero. If an entrepreneur works late evenings, weekends and holidays, he is considered evil and greedy. If you have pride in your country, feel the Constitution is a great document, believe in God, or have served in the military, you are viewed by DHS as a potential enemy of the government.
But if you were in the Weathermen, the SLA, or another typical ’60s (nut case) group, you are given positions at colleges to teach, or employed by a government administration. If you think citizens should speak English, you are considered a bigot. Duh, what is the international language of business? Do you really believe not speaking English is going to improve hiring potential? And what’s wrong with us being a world leader? Maybe we should just follow the lead of the Middle East or North Korea.
We are an emotional, knee-jerk society. We pass laws just to appease the whims of the moment. The Second Amendment issue is a good example. It is not about hunting or home protection. It’s a people-versus-government control issue. But that has become a concept too difficult for our politically correct society to comprehend. It’s a protection from potential abuse by the government in the future.
Albert Einstein said, “We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.” So why are we promoting Common Core? At least our next generation would be properly politically indoctrinated. At this rate, men of the future will not shake hands, they will just curtsy. I appreciate my lefty friends; I just wish they would see the unintended consequences.
