In our own little way that’s what we are doing here, and on forums all over the world.
Mosquito’s making voicing our opinions and making a difference.
Yea it's in our own little way and "little" being the operative word.
I like many that frequent this site and others would "do" something if only I knew how and where. Like many Americans I feel fairly helpless in the direction my country is taking. This helplessness being experienced by more and more Americans if allowed to continue unabated will eventually develop into frustration and that will without question evolve into serious anger which can manifest itself in several directions.
First as vocal attacks at those that are the perceived cause of the frustration and if a person is just not sure who to blame, they will surely come under the influence of the first smooth explanation they can make sense of. If that group advocates violent reprisals it will begin with individual assaults and could quite possibly escalate to pockets of civil unrest. After that who knows.
All that aside, I just Googled political activist group meetings Las Vegas. Since that is where I live. Result was over 47,000 hits. I am sure this includes multiple hits on the same group again and again but nonetheless I started looking at the various factions out there. Holy crap, after two hours I saw nothing that represents my values as an individualist, free market advocate, Constitution loving American.
I did see the group representing Welfare Reform and the Political Activism of Welfare Mothers, The Vegas Trans Activist (apparently the Lesbian and Gay Activist group are not enough for those that wish to switch teams permanently) and something called “Living without borders” who apparently have a problem of a person being deemed “Illegal” and the concept of borders in general.
What kind of a frikking monster have we created in this country? In the world from which I come, (formally referred to as the Republic for which it stands) to consider yourself on welfare implies that you have been unable to take care of yourself, rule one in survival. To identify with a group that is not satisfied with one gender and wishes to change it would imply that you have head problems or are simply a deviant personality. If you consider yourself aligned with a group that is involved in violation of immigration laws and advocate removal of our borders you would never defend this country or its Constitution. Or to take it a step further, a traitor from within.
I notice all these groups have one thing in common. They all want to take something. Welfare money does not appear out of thin air (although that may be true soon although it will be worthless). The services these Illegal’s take once here is not without cost. And I will be damned if I would authorize spending tax dollars to pay for sex change operations so some disturbed individual can feel “good” about themselves.
Then you throw in the religious groups, the “special needs” groups and one I have never understood the Animal rights groups. Look, along with “rights” comes “obligation”; You cannot have one without the other. Since an animal has no obligation it cannot possibly have “Rights” it is simply preposterous to confer rights on an animal. I think a Roman Caesar once declared his horse a senator and I can nowadays see some validity in that act as we have done the same thing here in America except we did not use the entire horse just the posterior portion.
To illustrate my point further, how many times a day do you hear the word “democracy”. I hear Senators and congressman refer to “our democracy” continuously and about puke each time. People of the World; the United States of America is a Constitutional Republic. It is described as such in all the founding documents and the framers of the Constitution and Bill of Rights understood this well and were clear in the intentions of this Country. Some Democratic principles are used but a pure Democracy in it true form is repugnant to the Constitution of these several States. Democracy is best described as three wolves and a sheep deciding “what’s for dinner”. We seek a just government for all citizens not just the majority.
If that is what we have become then I want out. But where to go? I don’t have the answer but people will sooner or later vote with their feet or their rifles if we continue down this path.
How can I have my voice heard? I suggest that places like this and the occasional mounting of the soap box at the golf club will not do much good. I would never cover myself with the filth that elected office offers. Plato is quoted as saying that “One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.” From what I have seen the man was on to something but I had sooner be a pimp Bombay as a politician in America at this time.
I do not question that there are some honorable people serving this country. But the policing and preservation of morals and justice are the responsibility of the body as a whole. If those that are just and moral allow the corrupt and devious to rule, the chambers the entire political body rots from within. We are watching history being made in America today no question about it. Where will it all lead? I have no clue but, when it is all over the citizen will be a different animal in the U. S of A.
