For those few readers who’ve come for a whiff of humor in our otherwise depressing news driven media, I apologize. Today, I’m hitting on all of us. If I offend anyone; good!
“A humble man can hear the subtle rumble in the distance. His heart pound mightily for he knows the time has come. He, like those who come upon him shall with honor and purest of heart step upon the path which leads American’s back to America; a land known as the greatest land and people in the history of humanity. Damned will be those who want anything less.”
C.B. Stiggins
Much like the main stream media’s inference that Biped Bo was somehow entitled to the Presidency, America too has embraced the entitlement mentality. Being Black no more paved the road to the white house any more than being poor paves the road to free living. There is and always has been a certain level of sacrifice on the part of individuals to make a living. Those who fall short however have come to expect us to kick in so they can provide for themselves and their families.
The problem arises however, not when we offer assistance to these “unfortunate” but when they have an expectation of a certain standard of living to go along with it. A car, a house large enough for them and the multiple children, food, medical, electricity, phone, internet, bussing, schools and more are all expected and provided. They will work a part time job to supplement the freebies we provide and use that for things like cable, beer, clothes and whatever else they would generally want. Then, at the end of the year and based on the number of kids they get a huge tax “refund.” Free money? Where’s the incentive to work, to improve ones self, and to get off the working man’s gravy train?
Fact is, there is no reason or incentive to do anything but the minimum required to either stay on the train or to ensure the ride never ends. These same people to include illegal immigrants will also receive Social Security benefits when they decide to retire from retirement. The entire Welfare and Social Security system runs against what is quintessentially American. Our forefathers didn’t give us anything more than a clean slate from which to chisel our destiny’s from. If someone didn’t work, they didn’t eat. All they had to do was pick up a shovel to help a neighbor tend his land to earn a hot meal and if lucky to sleep in the barn. There was nothing more dishonorable than to not do a hard days work for a hard days pay.
As generations past and America matured, being American was synonymous with the American Dream. Where anyone could take an idea, muddle up a little ambition and add a little sweat to get to where they could achieve all their dreams. Simple as they were, a house, a family, good job and food on the table, it was and still is a working man’s idea of success. So, how did we get from working for what you have to getting what everyone else has for nothing?
We did it. Those who work everyday, pay their taxes on time, provide for their families and obey the law are the ones who let all this happen. We do not vote, are not actively involved in our communities and do not convey a unified and collective dissatisfaction for what we’ve let the government and society become. There was a time when town folk let it be known when someone wasn’t welcome in their town. When someone did something wrong, it was known by all and shamed was the person who did the wrong. Today, there is no shame. No way of seeding the expectations of what a man is, what a woman is and much less, what it means to be a part of a community.
Our children are taught by strangers. Most by those with ideals which may be counter to our own. For 12 years our children are indoctrinated into a society which rewards minimal and denies nothing. Fist fights to settle a disagreement are considered felonies, questioning a teacher is a sin and tattling on your parents for perceived grievances is mandatory. We have allowed ourselves to be weakened and it will take decades to get our America back. It will take us all to get rid of the Biped Bo’s, freeloading Welfare gravy train riders and re-instill a willingness and demand by society to know the difference between what id right and what is wrong.
The recent Tea Parties was but a flicker in the night of the fire that will soon follow as American’s who love their families, care for their country and work hard as a matter of principal, become a fire. The night will be lit as though day and the roar that is rage will be heard around the world. No more we will sacrifice our country to those who are not willing to work, fight or die for her.
More Tea Parties will follow and more people will rise to the occasion. It is a sad day when the majority of people must stand up against a few in a display of discontent. But, our failure to stand will force our children to sit. We must let our voices be heard and let our message be imprinted into the history of our country. What will our Grandchildren say of us if, when their time comes, they are able to say anything at all. Be strong, be tall and be loud. Be American.
I’ll be back tomorrow. God Bless You!
