Our enemy is apathy, allowing our ruling class in Washington to change what is America, unabated and unchallenged.
Stupidity is a big part of it too. A lot of otherwise smart Amercians are just plain stupid about a lot of things & very shortsighted as well. These people may be good at their jobs, but they can’t balance their budgets or understand why what feels good today might end up destroying us tomorrow. As we see on Wall Street, even “the Smartest Guys in the Room” turn out to be idiots who are not in touch with reality. I see this every day—people making short term decisions to make themselves look good (and get that next promotion), but will be disasterous longterm. Lastly, Americans used to make decisions based (in part) on what was good for the country. Those days are dead and gone.
Since I retired 12 years ago from the US Mil, I have worked in corporate America for 8 years and could for the life of me see how corporate America made a buck. Stupid rules, stupid people in positions of authority making bad decisions that cratered the company (Sprint PCS 1998 -2000) the workers were great smarter than I would ever hope to be but the leadership was/are clinically dumb.
My greatest fear is when the so-called savior elect crosses the line (meaning the constitution) that no one will step up and say that he is what he is.
I am hopeful that there are enough patriots to stand for America.
