The New America
 |
| Where was the 'Change'? |
As the election of 2012 ended,
Over 122+
million people voted; as much as I didn't want it to be, I said “big congratulations
Mister Obama”, but I was disappointed - as 49% of our nation was.
(But 51% said, “Hooray!”)
After Four Years,
I have realized what the
new America has represented: Lies, incompetence, entitlement, deceit, racism,
vulnerability, and free stuff.
At least
that’s what the majority has represented.
I, myself, believe in the old America: Truth, confidence, transparency,
equality, security, patriotism, our basic rights, and earning your keep.
I remember voting...
...For a man that fought
for my beliefs, for the ‘old fashioned’.
Maybe this New America, the “Land of Entitlements” will be able to
survive greater than the “Land of Opportunity” in the upcoming future. I, however, do not think it will last. Our principles as of November 4th,
2008 have been continuously compromised.
There is no longer “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness”, just freebies and a sense of self entitlement.
It is apparent that the original founding principles and values that our
nation was founded on are no longer with us.
Today:
·
America
is horrible
·
God
no longer has meaning
·
Lying
is acceptable
·
The
government has more say than Mom and Dad
·
It
is okay to commit a crime
·
You
are entitled to everything
·
The
government can distribute what others strive for
·
It
is 'un-American' to disagree with authority
·
We
work for the government and they are the ultimatum
 |
| 'Chained' not 'Changed' |
I believe in these original 12 Principles:
1.
America
is good
2.
I
believe in God
 |
| The original ideals stand true |
3.
I
must always try to be a more honest person than I was yesterday
4.
The
family is sacred
5.
My
spouse and I are the ultimate authority - not the government
6.
If
you break the law, you pay the penalty
7.
Justice
is blind and no one is above it
8.
I
have a right to “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness”, but there is no
guarantee of equal results
9.
I
work hard for what I have and I will share it with who I want to
10.
Government
cannot force me to be charitable
11.
It
is not un-American to disagree with authority or to share my personal opinion
12.
The
government works for me. I do not answer
to them, they answer to me.
Our new values are:
Lies; selfishness;
hopelessness; fiscal irresponsibility; big egos;
distribution; deceit;
carelessness; laziness; cowardliness; blaming others; and thanklessness.
 |
| Maybe someday, we'll return to the good ol' days |
We
‘old-fashioned’ people have believed in:
Honesty; Reverence; Hope; Thrift;
Humility; Charity; Sincerity; Moderation; Hard work; Courage; Personal
Responsibility; and Gratitude.
But
America has chosen a different path,
And I am proud to be a part of that 49%,
Not the entitled (or uninformed) 51%.
God
Bless America, and may He save it.
