I'm posting this topic in an effort to try to get a grip on the insanity that plagues this country. Generally speaking, I know the reasons, but it is without logic why our country continues to spiral out of control towards oblivion in regards to political, social, and cultural traits. Thus, without further ado, I will try to explain some of the many examples.
In regard to politics, how can our politicians continue to promote policies that expand government control. Furthermore, how can they neglect to get involved in those areas that are constitutionally given? Not only that, but how can some politicians promote the elimination of various examples of American Rights and, or, Freedoms?
For example, how can our federal government neglect to protect our borders? They do this through their underfunding of the border patrol; a unit of a mere 7000 agents, whereas the NYC police has roughly 30,000 cops. Meanwhile, illegal aliens, non-assimilating individuals, enemies of America, drugs, etc. continue to easily "break-through" our borders. As a result, our culture is under constant attack and is continuously broken down. Not only that, but how can the government, under the guise of public schools, continue to promote an insane mantra known as "Multiculturalism" and "Diversity" despite the known damaging effects and divisionary tactics that have been proven throughout history? How can many of our politicians push for gun control, the destruction of the family unit through Homosexual marriage, benefits, etc, and the elimination of free speech through hate crimes legislation? How can our government be so in-line with what the liberal, socialist elite say and believe? For example, it appears that our policies align themselves up with what the media says, though it is on a ten year delay. How can all of these things be happening to such a great country, though the majority of individuals, deep-down, resent it?
As it appears, there is no "We the People". The people have so little say. It is the socialist elite throughout the media, the government, and the Universities that dictate nearly the entire direction of this country; a bleak one. If good, moral men speak up, the media silences them through the slandering of their names. If good men with GREAT ideas run for public office, many of the campaign contributers, aka big business, will not back them. Thus, they cannot get their views out to the people in comparison to the frontleaders who merely stand for the status-quo; that is, a continuation of socialism and the elimination of freedoms, morals, decency, etc. As it stands, it appears that the government, the media, the schools/universities, and big business (to less of an extent) has been sabotaged by people who hate traditional America and true Americanism.
I often think about the state of things. I wonder why many honorable businesses, organizations, etc. do not put their money together and purchase various thought-disseminating institutions such as networks, newspapers, etc. It simply doesn't make sense. Unless the haters of America do not want to sell, are there really too few financially-rich individuals who have America's best interests at heart, instead caring about how they are perceived or their financial assets?
Are there really too few individuals in congress to speak up for what's right? That is, the Constitution, honor, values, morals, Freedom, etc. I don't get it. Why don't some of our House and Senate members speak with angst on the House and Senate floors? Why don't they set the record straight and come out against the enemies of America by telling the American people what is going on, or by showing some emotion towards American haters in our own government?
As it stands, it appears that all it'd take would be for some honorable, dutiful men to occupy our government. Even the ones who are on our side often do not look like it. With God-fearing, Constitution loving men, we could stop the slide and reverse the trend. However, we're not doing nor seeing that. I only can pray that things change.

Yep, I believe we've discovered the root of all yer problems, pard. And with post #132, you're really stepped in it now - ever hear the expression "when you find yourself in a really deep hole, stop digging"?
We're going to have to take up a collection now to buy you a thicker coat of skin and a sense of humor. I hear Hillary!'s not using hers since Sat. night . . . . . .
a)Could it be that we let the communists take over our government schools (no longer are they public)
b)Could it be that we allowed the PC crowd to control our thoughts and speech and did nothing to stop them?
(c)Could it be that we allowed them to feminize our male children and did nothing?
(d) Could it be that we allowed our military to be feminized and did nothing?
(e)Could it be that we elected an evil man TWICE and did nothing about it?
(f)Could it be that we allow organizations like nambla to exist and say nothing about it?
I'll stop here as I'm sure you get the point.
And now we are so stupid that we allow another Government grab of our freedoms and say nothing about the Home
Defense Act because we want to be secure.
I have news for you, we cannot have security AND freedom. As for me, I choose freedom.
Easy: it's deliberate. Although they would like us all to think that they only mean well, that they are just so embroiled in the day to day that they don't realize how it all adds up, the truth is they know exactly what they're doing.
Not one of these societal leeches has the guts to stand up and say "Hey, we don't need to pass any more laws, we don't need to regulate things even more, what we need to do is go back through this bloated mess of laws, weed out the ones that aren't needed , and make sure we are enforcing the ones that are, with a view to staying within the defined powers of the Constitution, so that our people can enjoy the blessing of liberty without the overbearing presence of the government breathing down their necks at every turn." Not one politician in a million would have the cajones to stand up and say that, because it would be political suicide. Just because something is political suicide doesn't meant that it's not the right thing to do.
You caught my point exactly. The leftist/socialist politicians that are propogating all this ever-expanding control have the media in their pockets, and it is the media that shapes most peoples' opinions. The sheeple will believe what they are told to believe, and will not question it, until they wake up one morning and discover that they have no freedoms, they have no rights, and then they will whine "How could this happen? This is America! We're not supposed to live like this!" but it will be too late. TV has made spectators of us all. It has created a disconnect between action and reaction. We don't see them as connected events. It's really sad, because most people don't really see that to preserve freedom, they must personally get involved. It's the lack of involvement that the Left counts on to slip their poison into our society.
I haven't time for such nonsense.
That reply did it. This thread will go on fourever..........
