Watching Your demise in the Mirror

It's scary watching your country deteriorate before your very eyes. Perhaps we can appreciate how the Romans felt as their empire disintegrated around them. It amazes me how little many, if not most, people pay attention to exactly how broken our system really is. Nothing, touched by government, seems to work. In my view one of the main reasons is the appointment, by whatever party is in power, of political hacks, or fundraisers to positions that should be filled by people with the expertise and experience to carry out the job. Don't agree? Let me site some examples:

We are being attacked at home and abroad yet our Secretary of Defense is a retired politician whose expertise apparently comes from being a Sergeant in Viet Nam, yet he is responsible for our military all over the world.

After 09/11 politicians combined a number of agencies concerned with our domestic safety into The Department of Homeland Security. This move has evolved into a massive organization, where it seems one hand never knows what the other is doing. Our immigration system is virtually non-existent, with millions of illegals streaming across the border with Mexico. Even more chilling are the millions of people coming on student visas who then stay here never even attending a class or dropping out after a short stay. By the way, this portion of our immigration problem is not even mentioned in the "Gang of Eight" legislation. Many come from the very regions of the World breeding Muslim terrorism. Most of these non-students, like the Boston brothers might be given permanent status under Obama's program to reward kids brought here against their willby parents sneaking into our Country because no face-to-face interviews willapparently not be required to qualify. In charge of all this, and protecting our safety stands Janet Napalitano. Her experience as a law clerk and Democratic governor qualifies her to run this immense agency . She is regarded as an expert on immigration because under her watch, Arizona was flooded by thousands of ILLEGAL aliens from Mexico. We won't even discuss the drug business back and forth across the border.

You could go down the list of past administrations and find the same things. Obama's current nominee for Commerce Secretary is an ace Democratic fund raiser. Probably knows a great deal about commerce.

It may already be too late, but it certainly soon will be if we let this go on for much longer. We have allowed a ruling class to develop in our country which is strangling our freedoms and our future as they increase benefits for themselves and those who provide the money to keep them in office. The statement "it's your Country" seems no longer appropriate and should be changed to "it's their Country"!

The Declaration of Independence

When in the course of human Events, it becomes necessary for one People to dissolve the Political Bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the Earth, the separate and equal Station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent Respect to the Opinions of Mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the Separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their CREATOR with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness - That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Format of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying it's Foundations on such Principles, and organizing it's Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate the time Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient Causes, and accordingly all Experiences hath shewn, that Mankind more disposed to suffer, while Evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the Forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long Train of Abuses and Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinced a Design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their Right, it is their Duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future Security. Such has been the patient Sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the Necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The History of the present King of Great Britain is a History of repeated Injuries and Usurpations, all having in direct Object the Establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid World.

(The specific grievances are listed as is the Declaration of breaking the connections with Great Britain.

56 patriots (YOUR FOREFATHERS) signed the Declaration of Independence knowing they would be accused of Treason against the Crown and condemned to Death if caught!

Gettysburg Address

"Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place--for those who have given their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But in a larger sense we cannot dedicate--we cannot concecrate--we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who have struggled here have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember, what we say here but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated to the unfinished work which they who fought have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion--that we highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain--that this nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom--and that government of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish from this earth.
Abraham Lincoln
