What has America become?
I came across this article that I felt was very well written, spoken, and true. Copied from a friend, but until I get his permission, I will not disclose his name. But please comment, or 1+ if you agree with this article as I do.
Editor,
Has America become the land of the special interest and home of the double standard?
Lets see: if we lie to the Congress, it's a felony and If the congress ties to us Its just politics; if we dislike a black person, we're racist and if a black dislikes whites, it's their 1st Amendment right; the government spends millions to rehabilitate criminals and they do almost nothing for the victims; in public schools you can teach that homosexuality is OK, but you better not use the word God in the process; you can kill an unborn child, but its wrong to execute a mass murderer; we don't burn books in America, we now rewrite them; we got rid of the communist and socialist threat by renaming them progressives; we are unable to close our border with Mexico, but have no problem protecting the 38lh parallel in Korea; if you protest against President Obama's policies you're a terrorist but if you burned an American flag or George Bush in effigy it was your 1st Amendment right.
You can have pornography on TV or the internet, but you better not put a nativity scene in a public park during Christmas; we have eliminated all criminals in America, they are now called sick people; we can use a human fetus for medical research, but it's wrong to use an animal.
We take money from those who work hard for it and give it to those who don't want to work; we all support the Constitution, but only when it supports our political ideology; we still have freedom of speech, but only if we are being politically correct; parenting has been replaced with Ritalin and video games; the land of Opportunity is now the land of hand outs; the similarity between Hurricane Katrina and the gulf oil spill is that neither president did anything to help.
And how do we handle a major crisis today? The government appoints a committee to determine who's at fault, then threatens them, passes a law, raises our taxes; tells us the problem is solved so they can get back to their reelection campaign.
What has happened to the land of the free and home of the brave?

WWIII/Cold War II
These days it seems all governments are corrupt, giving the multi-billion dollar corporations all the power to do anything and everything they desire. These power hungry create laws, restrict freedoms, and take away the little bit of hope the hard working man/woman have left.
And with these grim days we have seen governments crumbling with protests all over the world, even over here in the United States. Even though we have not resorted to violent protests, civil unrest in other foreign countries are shedding blood with a high loss of life and casualties involving innocent civilians residing in those areas. While I agree change needs to be made, I also fear for the storm that is ultimately brewing underneath the surface.
While some can see the underlying storm brewing, others choose to ignore the signs. I see the next WWIII coming very soon, and to me it's going to the Cold War picking back up where it left off.
Syria's Government coming under attack by militias and opposing forces and NATO and other world powers disagreeing on Sanctions for Syria are mixed. While some world powers show support, others do not. Not only are we worrying about Assad and Syria, we are also worrying about Iran and their soon to be, if not already nuclear equipped nation. On top of Iran being Nuclear, Israel is making moves to give their army the green light, while also European neighbors threatening to cut off their oil supply. While in retaliation, Iran has said they would cut off the pipeline which would cause massive price hikes on oil immediately doubling, tripling, or even quadrupling when it happens.
And then we have talks about new Austerity measures which cause thousands of job cuts for Greece as they plead for another bailout from the EU and IMF so they do not default and keep their country going.
In the midst of this we also have to take into account that China has also stated that all other Asian countries belong to them and that they plan on making them part of China in their near future (Korea, Japan, Philippines, Vietnam, ect).
Let's not forget the silent, but a major player Russia. They have been struggling with government from their own people as well. But Have also opposed the sanctions on Syria with China backing the opposition. Russia may have been silent since the Cold War, we must not throw them aside. They have quickly and silently rebuilt into a major player with their oil supply.
While I have mentioned many other countries, let's not forget that Americans are fighting for their rights as citizens. Everyday the US government limits the rights and freedoms of its citizens and putting them deeper and deeper into debt, while it keeps on spending. Why is has our government been giving aid to Iran in the past and just cutting them off now, giving them not millions, but billions when we have been bailed out our self.
Who is bailing us out? China, but China just keeps printing money flooding the market not even justifying proper value. What terms is there when America defaults on their bailout? Imminent Domain...That's right, some part of our 50 states could start waving the white flag with the red dot in the middle. China is making moves silently, but very smart. "There are two ways to enslave a Nation. One is by sword, the other is by debt." and it holds true.
While each country is dealing with opposition and every country watching each other, each country is also plotting and pondering the outcomes. War has always been won like a great game of chess; it's a thinking game, a mental game, sometimes forfeiting pawns and sometimes martyring their queen.
And of course for those of you who enjoy my writings, please give to the cause and donate to keep me writing with the button at the top of the screen.
Giving you my thoughts one day at a time,
