America, what is happening?

Our founding fathers knew what was needed to establish the foundation that would create the greatest nation on earth.  The founding fathers were passionate about their dedication towards a young America. They put in place the greatest constitution ever to be penned, and America became the greatest nation on earth following the passion they scribed.

The authors of our great constitution knew firsthand the obstacles that plagued the countries of the “old” world and focused on what was good for America when they wrote our constitution. Century old countries had a history of selfish governments that focused on self interests rather than what was right for the people. Knowing this, they created a system of checks and balances that would allow collective growth while protecting against individual interests…until now.

What has happened?

Over time our country has been infiltrated with self interest individuals who seek personal power at the expess of the country as a whole. As time has gone on, individual power spread to create party power; power of the political party became the focus again at the expense of the country as a whole.

We have seen this gradually becoming the norm.  Individuals within the government appear not tobe proud to be an American, but rather they become proud to be of a specific political party.  The days of what is best for America have sunken to the level of what is best for our political party; again at the expense of the American people.

The American people have also be snatched up in this web of selfishness. People now are more concerned with what’s best for the “party” than what might be best for America. Their associations appear more towoards their party affiliation than their association for being American; so much that hatred is now being spewed out of the mouths of many who place “party” over being American.  They have become Democrat or Republican first, American second…at least that is how it appears.

The parties themselves have become small countries within a country. Hatred towards opposing party has become vicious.  The effort to promote their party ideologies have been replaced with effort to destroy the opposing party - at any expense.  Although occurring in both major parties, the mass majority of hatred and destructive effort seems to be greater within the Democratic party, and the American people have been suckered into the war and has lost focus.

People will usually mimic their leaders, good or bad.  When a people become selfish and the leaders play into the selfishness for political gains, America as a whole suffers. Selfish politicians will use smoke screens that will create the appearance of caring government, while using the misguided allegiance as an avenue of power. It is like cancer that feeds upon itself.  Selfish politicians want power so they cater to a selfish person or group. Using smoke screens to create the appearance that they care, they gain popularity of the people or groups. As the group grows, so does the power of the selfish politician/party.

Rather than promote hard work and enthusiasm, let’s give more to those who have not - this creates dependency on government and the party that supports socialism gains in strength and numbers.

And it all sounds so righteous.

And today we are faced with this delema.  Socialism is knocking on our door. Selfishness and the desire for power has taken us to this point. We have an individual whom we know very little about, but know an enormous amount in their personal life - but people are so selfish they only care about “what’s in it for me”.

Individual selfishness, individual power and individual gains have replaced the American Dream.  The dream our forefathers had when they penned the constitution. The dream to make America the greatest nation on earth was achieved but personal interest overcame that achievement, and we are now facing a questionable future.

I am an optimist, but I am very concerned and worried what tomorrow may bring.

Think America - think hard!
