We the people.......
Today we need to realize that we are capable of reaching the same levels of independent thought if we would only throw off the mindset of “we cannot do anything without government assistance”. “We the people” have let the government of the United States grow into the lumbering behemoth is now is because we laid down our responsibility of overseeing what the people we hire to work for us are doing.
We cannot let them go and do what ever they want and when some catastrophic event happens rush out into the street howling for blood. No, we must remain ever diligent in order to ensure that the government does not grow out of the boundaries as set forth in the constitution. That is the problem we are now facing a nation and sovereign people, we have let the people we hire convince us they are better than us and we should let them have free reign over us.And you see where it has gotten us don’t you? We have let them put into effect documents that allow them to illegally wiretap us, we have let them start a war that will go on as long we let it continue, we have let them violate our laws by using torture on enemy prisoners of war, this is where some of you will say that we need to torture these people to make them talk, but turn it around and look at it from the other side, we do not want anyone torturing our service members if they are captured but yet we expect them not to even though we are torturing some of them to death.
Some people tell me that it is up to the newly elected democrats only to enforce our laws but I say that is not true. It is up to each and every American citizen to enforce our laws and to ensure we watch what our hired personnel are doing as they represent us to the world. This leads me to something else I think needs to be brought up; fear. We cannot let fear rule us as we have in the last four years as were blindly led down this path we are now on. If we had thought with a rational mind we would not have allowed ourselves to be dragged along behind the people who dreamed all of this insanity up. I am guilty of it as well as anyone else and I can honestly say that I realized the mistake I made and I am working on correcting my mistakes and to be more diligent in the future.Another thing that makes me angry is the crop of presidential contenders we now have. Some of them are openly calling for a pre-emptive nuclear strike against Iran on the basis of what George W. Bush and friends are telling them about Iran’s nuclear capability, this is against our laws and traditions as America . Now, I don’t know about you, but I am very leery about what comes of George’s and Dick’s mouths as they express their desire to blow up Iran . We have already seen how reliable their intelligence was about Iraq . And we have lost over three thousand-five hundred service members based on that “intelligence”. Do we want to follow their insanity into another country that has done nothing to us?
Remember when George told us that he would not keep the soldiers in Iraq a day longer than necessary? Now he is saying they need to be there for fifty years just like we have kept soldiers in Korea for fifty years. What is it going to be, no longer than necessary or fifty or a hundred years? How many times is this guy going to flip-flop on what he says? Back in 2000 when he first ran for president he said no nation building and that he was going to lower taxes and decrease the size of government. What do you see on those areas?Anyway, enough of my ranting for now, I want to see the American people reclaim some of the spirit of their ancestors and demand this government stop treating us like we are a bunch of sheep and realize that we are a well informed nation who will not tolerate their lying to us in order to advance their own personal agendas.
