Your suggestion that you will leave for a new land of opportunity actually brings on a sad perspective on the future. For centuries, The US has been the shining light that the oppressed and poor but hopeful and hard working would look to as inspiration for the dream of a better life. Without the US, and the US has been under a darkening cloud of restrictions and increasing loss of opportunities for some time now, there will be no reason for hope. There will be no place to look to and say, “In America, I can be free and chase my dreams. In America, I will one day make a new life and free my family to live better lives than I could live.”
With freedom only a word and our once-cherished rights subject to the whim of whomever, where will hope be? The rule of law is becoming the ruler’s law. The dearest riches of American culture are popularly derided and spoken of only in jest.
Where will inspiration come from? Where will you look for a better life? Make a stand here. Make it now.
I’m making a stand. Unfortunately, I do not see reason to have much faith in my fellow citizens to do the same.
Ultimately, America’s success has bred complacency in its people. Our freedom has enabled an insidious scourge to take hold and corrupt the very meaning of freedom, as well as to confuse the clarity of our Constitution. A large number of American people are ever willing to give up their freedom for handouts. They are morons, and dare I say they will deserve what they receive in return.
