Be who you are and say what you feel, because those
who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind. ~Dr. Seuss
Thinking:
Warning-Do not attempt this on your own
Every four years we witness the lunacy of
party politics. Each party has
ideologues which uphold the party line and candidate no matter how inane the
platform or idiotic the candidate.
Despite 50 years of broken promises from both parties, our nation
continues to suffer for poor financial stewardships, a system of theft called
taxation, and laws which have eroded our rights and both parties are jointly to
blame.
Despite the obvious
evidence, many Americans practice the very definition of insanity and
continually reelect the same political pikers into office, yet they demad or
expect different results. Somehow, these
people actually believe the BS lies which flow from the lips of career
politicians?! How easily fooled they
are…but then again, I must consider how our public schools operate.
A favorite uncle of mine
who is a retired superintendent of a wealthy school district often expresses
the same sentiment.
We are not a nation of
thinking people and that begins with our public education system where most are
taught what to think, not how to think.
This is encouraged because politicians know unthinking people are easier
to control. [More about that later]*
When I was in the military
we called such people lifers. Unable or
unwilling to think for themselves, they were happy to have someone else decide
what they were going to wear each day, what they would eat, what work they
would do and where they would perform that work…and of course, all without
question usually dictated by some idiot in Washington without any military
experience whatsoever.
In the early days of my
public speaking career on what was fondly referred to as the ‘rubber chicken’
circuit traveling about the country with other motivational speakers I
initially wondered why more Americans did not attend our seminars and events.
The great Zig Ziglar
pulled me aside one day and told me it is called the “five percenter
effect.”
He explained that any
given time only five percent of the population has any desire to improve their
lot in life or even had any understanding what was going on around them, while
the balance were among those that either were left to wonder what has happened
or had no clue that anything had happened.
Watching the old Jay Leno
‘Jay Walking’ segments, [where he would interview people on the street about
common historical events or current events that these people were unable to
answer] convinced me of that. The O’Reilly
Factor airs a similar segment with the same results which makes me wonder about
the state of our educational system…
*Do you remember the term Consumer Advocate?
When I was growing up, my
sister and I wanted to be a part of Ralph Nader’s team or Nader’s Rader’s as
they were called…the team that was saving America from unsafe products and
corporate vultures. This is something
your State Attorney General is supposed to do on your behalf as well.
Our Michigan AG, Bill
Shulte was AWOL during his consumer advocate classes. Our local water department recently jacked up
our bill by 1,000 percent without any kind of advanced notice and get
this: it isn’t based on consumption, instead it is based on our property
value!
In Bill’s letter to me he
felt this complaint did not fall under his realm of authority…Big Brother
cannot interfere with Little Brother and I must hire an attorney to fight city
hall. Another useless, so-called public
servant leeching at the public trough.
And Finally…
According to a Bloomberg analysis of census data between 2013 and 2014, millions of Americans are fleeing our cities. But these cities aren’t shrinking, the locals are being replaced by foreigners. While their research noted 100 cities, it focused on 20 urban areas that experienced the greatest loss of local residents. New York City came in 2nd place after losing 163,000 US citizens. Americans are largely leaving due to soaring housing costs, and are being replaced by two different kinds of immigrants. Highly skilled immigrants working in the tech sector who can afford the rent, and low skilled workers who are willing to split the rent, and cram as many of their friends and relatives into tiny urban apartments.
Instead of the “White Flight” from our urban areas that was widely documented in the latter half of the 20th century, we’re now experiencing “American Flight.” As our nation takes in more and more foreign citizens, these people are mostly settling into our urban areas, which are now being referred to as “global cities.” It’s safe to say that by the end of the 21st century, what we now recognize as an American culture, will cease to exist in urban areas, and will almost exclusively exist in rural and suburban locations.
The federal government has made it exceedingly difficult for law-abiding people to immigrate to this nation legally, but meanwhile they have left our borders completely wide open and have actively encouraged people to immigrate illegally. As a result, large numbers of criminals, drug dealers, gang members and welfare parasites have come pouring in. According to one recent report, 2.5 million illegal immigrants have entered this country while Barack Obama has been in the White House…
A new report
estimates that 2.5 million
illegal immigrants have entered the United States since Barack
Obama took office in 2009.
The Center
for Immigration Studies released a study Monday citing data from the Center for Migration
Studies, Pew Research Center and the Census Bureau that indicates 400,000
illegal immigrants on average have entered the country annually since 2009.
From the
middle of 2013 to May 2015 alone, 790,000 illegals have come into the United
States. These undocumented individuals entered the country after President
Obama unveiled a controversial executive
order in 2012 to stop deporting young illegal immigrants who
entered the country as children.
And
honestly, that 2.5 million number is probably on the low side. These
illegal immigrants are committing some of the most horrible crimes imaginable,
and if you doubt this, just read this article.
While most Americans stand around with eyes glued to a “smart” phone and their thumbs up their ass, the nation is being flushed down the toilet by greedy, corrupt politicians AND another crop of career cretins are crying to be let in to feed at the public trough…AND you’ll let them!
Good luck!

As usual, you nailed it...so many citizens seem unable to think beyond their gonads or without being told what to do...is it any wonder we're dropping so rapidly in world stature!?
Do you think they will ever wake up? I don't.
