I don't know why you would think that. What if I were to have stated that I was 48 years old? Personally, I believe that you wouldn't have made a comment about my age. However, what does that have to do with it?

Generally speaking, I know why this country, as well as the world, is in the shape it is. In fact, I've been a member of this forum for nearly a year, though under a different name. I've learned a lot from this website. In fact, it allowed me to fill in the "missing pieces" that were exempt in my take on historic events, politics, cultural concerns, and current events. It's truly been a great asset.

I posted this topic because, like I previously stated, I thought that it would generate discussion in an effort to bring about a possible plan of action. That's all. While I know that one person can't do it all, we all must do our part.

The second reason I posted this thread was because it has baffled me how even our "Conservative" leaders continue to walk in step with the socialist agenda, thus ensuring the status quo of the "slippery slope". Realistically, it seems beyond comprehension as to why at least a few individuals have not come forward to show angst to our dire situation. In fact, the house and senate floors seem awfully "calm". There's too much "getting along" or "bipartisanship". This, in essence, allows things to continue in the wrong direction. The same can be said for private enterprise and big business. Why haven't some financially solid conservatives pooled their money together and purchased a major network or newspaper? It would seem that a true Conservative would have done so by now given the current state of affairs. If it's the Socialists who don't want to sell, then that's one thing. If it's not, however, then it really says something about the people of America.

Again, I didn't want this to become a spelling post. Okay, so what, I spelled one word wrong. Sue me. I later misspelled a few other words because I was a little perturbed. However, I forgive you all. Actually, I am a rather bright individual. Oh well. You don't have to believe me if you don't want to.

Another thing. No, I do not think that I'm special. I've been out of college for nearly two years, and it was tough as nails to land that first job. When I first came out of college, I may have thought that I would find a job easily, get $50,000-70,000 pay, but I have long since past those days. I only recently found a job in my field. This occurred about two months ago. I still work several jobs because I only earn a $25,000/yr salary, and I still have a few bills to pay off. I thought it was funny that someone actually would have thought that I was expecting a huge salary. In actuality, $70,000 would be a huge amount of money for a single guy such as myself. Though, I am able to pay my bills and have a little spending money with the income I earn.

This has been my take on it.
