This is the first in a series of commentaries regarding the status of our country, our economy, our morals and ethics, and our responsibilities as American citizens.
The plain and simple truth is that those of us, Democrats, Republicans and Independents alike, who are “Baby Boomers” and older, are very dissatisfied and upset with the direction our country has been taking since Reagan left office. Every President and every Congress since then has failed miserably to live up to their duties as representatives of we, the people, who ARE in charge according to our Constitution. We, the people, have allowed them to do it and today, my fellow Americans, is our day of reckoning.
Our country is in pure shambles. Our economy is in worse shape than during the Depression; we just don’t realize it yet. Our family values have evaporated as have our morals and ethics. Our country is permeated with mind-altering drugs. Our leaders are corrupt, our media and press have hidden agendas. We are without any compass in our Ship of State and our enemies are again emboldened.
Until they got hit directly in their pocketbooks, the younger generations of Americans seemed content to let their freedoms and liberties slip away, day by day and every day. Now, they awaken from their hedonistic stupors and realize that they need to do something, but they just don’t know where to start.
Those of us who grew up with REAL American values and a REAL sense of justice, freedom and liberty have growing numbers and a voice that MUST be heard and we need to seek and find the common ground to MAKE our voice heard. At the same time, we have the ability and the duty to install a new compass…a renewed sense of direction for our country… into the minds and hearts of our descendants.
Next week: WHERE DO WE START?
That’s MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
