A Patriots Opinions

I work as a Project Manager for an Oilfield Company and went to college at Sam Houston State University and majored in Criminal Justice. My academic career has taught me several important abilities, not the least of which is critical thinking. That quality in and of itself is something that I find sorely lacking in the majority of people I run across on a daily basis. Critical Thinking is the basis for any kind of common sense a person might have because without it, you'd be standing at a locked door trying to figure out why it won't open.
Today, people are standing before a failing country wondering why it's not prospering. Think critically about the subject and the answers become almost self evident. We have a political class who were hired to be employees of the people; to do nothing more than voice the opinions of the people who hired them. Unfortunately, they have somehow gotten the idea they are there to decide what's best for us while those decisions do not affect them personally. Their loyalties lie with special interests, lobbyists, political fundraisers, large corporate funders/donors and virtually any other entity with which they can increase the profitability of their office. To ensure they stay in this imminently lucrative office, they cater to the people who represent only a small percent of the population yet control the one thing the vast majority relies on for information - The Media.
This group of broadcasters sees better fit to determine and shape the news than to actually report it. Stories on hate crimes where only certain people fit the bill, inequalities to some while enforcing inequalities to others, we?ve all heard these stories and some of us have seen through the cover. It goes on and on. The same interests desire to artificially inflate the currency by printing money based on no real value thus driving up prices, reducing spending ability, and destroying the middle class. Why is the middle class a target? Because they demand the ability to EARN good wages, retirement, health care, safe working conditions - all the things that make the American Dream possible. Instead, those in power desire a two class system - they and the proletariat where we depend on them to GIVE us everything we need; essentially creating a new slave class comprised of individuals from all races, religions, and creeds.
This slave class can be enhanced by legalizing and adopting the acceptance of Illegal Immigration. This group of people who have been raised in their countries' schools to believe that the entire South West of the United States should be returned to them as their near religious concept of Aztlan demands. These illegals then garnish the money that the working class has paid into the Government by way of income, property, capital gains, payroll taxes etc. A group of people reaping the benefits of this nation for free off the backs of the Middle Class and Upper Class because, while the Democrats love to talk about equalizing the tax system, what they really want to do is tax the wealthy more. The truth, however, according to the Congressional Budget Office's report for last year, is that the top 1% of wage earners last year paid 38.8% of the taxes. The top 1.1 million households (the evil rich) pay a greater share of the income tax burden than the bottom 90 million households combined. I understand how easy it is to hate the wealthy because it seems like all the burdens those of us in the middle class face don't seem to fall upon the very wealthy. Don't forget though, those are the people who create the jobs, the retirement plans, and the insurance plans that we then earn.
The system works quite well when the Government stays out of it but they are bound and determined to wreck this country and the people who made it successful and, this is my hypothesis based on credible evidence and obvious trends, to use the downfall of this country as a platform to move us into a North American Union, and eventually one Worldwide Government as represented in the UN. This would thoroughly destroy the sovereignty of the Nation, and the Constitution that created it, that gave them this inscrutable power in the first place. The Nation and The Constitution are the very things that these politicians swore to protect when they took office and assumed the power that WE temporarily granted them .

This might be my manifesto, it might be my musings, or it might simply be the ranting of a man who belongs in a different time. Please, I am begging people to turn off the Television, stop worrying about what the next thing to happen to Britney Spears is going to be, and start thinking. Look around you - Is this the idea of America that your parents left you? Is this the bastion of freedom, democracy, and personal responsibility that the Declaration of Independence so eloquently describes, that the Constitution requires, or the people of foregone generations worked and died to build and protect? Please join me in this movement and if there is something out there already started then let's join it. If we continue to sit on our asses and accept it as inevitable then the American People will be a 1/2 page chapter in a future History book. We have to put a stop to the insatiable march to power that our leaders and their backers have begun long ago.

"But when a long Train of Abuses and Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a Design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their Right, it is their Duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future Security." Thomas Jefferson, Declaration of Independence
