Who are these that take even while they hate? They are the one's who came here to gain something for themselves and their loved ones and not for the common good, their good, their ideology, their beliefs. They take full advantage of our kindness, social services, education to help their young and families Yes, jobs and any benefit they can get and usually and in fact over Americans of all races. You even find them in the war zone getting medical help and other things America readily provides and then they turn around and plant the roadside bombs or in markets that kill soldiers and other innocents who do not hold the same opinion or belief.
So can you tell me there are not the millions walking our streets freely, working our jobs, taking our education and social services and hating us, wishing for our destruction. Yes, like Troy we have opened the gates wide and let the enemy in. Hate of America is sewed all about and anyone can find it openly and you do not have to look hard to find it. We allow, yes allow them to disregard our laws, laws even our own officials and elected representatives ignore and cast aside. Is that for the common good of America?
These people sow discord and evil. They are the true cowards, murders, abusers and takers of this world who hide in the shadows and seek opportunity. Yes and when they kill they call themselves hero. In it only for themselves they sit alongside the greed mongers and exploiters as equals. Yes , no matter what nation they are from they spew hate, corruption greed, exploitation and many times cloaked in God, love, religion, nation and yes honor and morality. The ignorant follow them like lambs to the slaughter never knowing the truth in the mirror that they themselves are what they hate. They come cloaked in light but bring the dark. They are the real Easter Bunny in total.
Now certainly this hate is born of many things. Personal experience and beliefs. However, the key breeder of hatred is indoctrination. So the seeds are strewn all about this world. Now America was seen as the land of opportunity. It was a nation formed on principals found no where else in this world. It was built on "the common good". That translates into for the good of all men regardless of race, color, religion, status, origin, yes all working for their common good. In that this nation called America grew, all prospered, we say the American dream and all were content.
That has now turned into Free Markets, Open Borders, Spheres of Influence, a Thousand points of Light, SPP and The North American Union. Yes while we profess to want to share the American dream the facts are right before us in truth. The hate comes from eliminating, for the common good and replacing it with for the good of the few. Sorry that opinion formed by deeds and works. In my opinion the hatred born of those deeds and works. Feed them scraps and they will be happy. Yes for awhile and just like this Stimulus that too shall pass.
So the two together, the haters and the greed merchants, unless changed, will continue to sow the seeds or misery in all forms. What can anyone say. The facts speak for themselves, the signs and symbols are on every street corner of every major city, in the halls of Congress in the board rooms of business, the capitals of the world and on the emperors thrones and in the caves and secret places.
When any nation is divided such as we are. Fragmented in culture, opinion, beliefs, opinions the only thing that could ever hold them together is a unity of common purpose and for the common good. It is etched in the fundamental words of our Union and the Constitution. We the People elect a government to represent We the People, not we the business, to carry that ideal, goal, agenda, demand for the common good forward. That is for the benefit of all citizens to the pursuit of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and those unalienable rights, God given for us all and our posterity. That is the American dream. For a Presidential candidates wife to say only now she is proud of being an American speaks to the very core of the issue at hand. You may not like her choice of words but and they may have been poor choices but I understand what she meant.
There is truth in we have not done for the common good. Sadly I have not seen it in any of these candidates nor in our leaders even while they brag about all they do for We the People. Have we become that naive or indoctrinated?
Example, Cuba who's people long for our system of Free trade and capitalism. Have they forgotten why Fidel ever came to power? Was it not the same there, the haves and the have not which brought Fidel to power? Corruption and greed in any system creates the environment for turmoil and strife. Is our system better? Well the answer is yes with a qualifier, without greed and with good men and woman working for the common good. Did this man not mesmerize the poor who hoped for liberation from their shackles? He was their savior in the flesh. Do they have that today? Ok, blame America. No the America today would be happy to rush in an pay them .50 cents an hour for their labor and that oil offshore we can help them expand it. Hey, its all about Free Markets and we will be happy to give it to them. They will sing in the streets for it. That is for now and then slowly the hate creeps back.
Need more to think about? Take Great Britain, a Democracy. There are so many varied cultures and opinions and beliefs living within that nation they no longer have a unified focus, goal, objective. They are constantly changing that government via coalitions with factions changing to and fro to suit their own agenda. Democracy yes, unity no, common good, long gone. Ok, still do not think so, well read the papers. Just now in Pakistan you have the very same situation. Fragmented parties, varied beliefs, no unity and scrambling for coalitions to be formed. Hatred and seeds of destruction and strife all about. Take India, Italy of for that matter all over this world where Democracy rules and what real freedom or progress do you see? No you see strife, hate, death, exploitation. That is not an approval for Communism or Socialism, two failed systems it is a wake up call.
No, I keep going back to Republic verses Democracy because there are key differences. I believe our drifting from our foundations toward a misguided ideology that evidently works fine for the haves and few of the world but not the common people nor for the common good has fostered all we now are seeing come to fruition. It is not the concept of Free Trade it is the method of implementation and the motive. In concept it would work if fairness, justice, equality, morality and love of neighbor were actually applied for the good of all but it is not so and no words will make it such. Rhetorically one can presume that will never happen in my opinion without divine intervention.
No PHD needed here just common sense. So will they continue to take and hate, most certainly. That is until and only until We the People put representatives in office that place people first in all they do and not an ideology fostered by the rich and powerful. No, not some great orator, just someone who places the good of people first in all things and proves it in works. Just look to Cuba my friends.
