OUR UGLY AMERICA

SPECIAL POST

Once the bastion of power and democracy in the world, the shine on America's ship of state is now tarnished and our reputation, both at home and abroad, is sinking at a precipitous rate.  Our nation's capitol is teeming with graft, corruption, malfeasance, misfeasance and a total lack of regard for the will of the American people.  Our schools and our military have become focal points for the indoctrination of anti-American propaganda and sentiment.  Our once-strong moral fiber and religious foundations are becoming defunct.  Our economy is in shambles.  

We have a President whose word cannot be trusted; he draws red lines and then disowns them.  Regardless of his first pounding about North Korea, Iran and nuclear weapons, he has yet to do anything about it.  We had to rely on the intervention of Vladimir Putin to extract ourselves from a growing Syrian debacle.  No enemy nation now considers us to be strong and resolute; even our allies have started to draw their shades whenever we come calling.  We tell Israel, our closest ally in the Middle East that is severely concerned about the nuclear threat of Iran, to sit down and shut up, just like we tell those who don't adhere to the Obama doctrine to sit down and shut up. 

We spy on our allies, on our citizens, on our "free" press, on our religions and on our patriots.  We label Christians and Tea Party members as domestic terrorists and members of the Ku Klux Klan.   We call our children "property of the state."  We enact unpopular laws and tell the public to bend over and spread its collective cheeks.  

At a time when our enemies are building up their military hardware and troop strength, we are dismantling ours.  Our President is geared toward unilaterally reducing the number of our nuclear warheads to 1,000, the lowest level since 1954.  The effects of Sequester are now being felt as we cut troop strength by over a third and shut down orders of new hardware and technology.  

We have become a nation divided into two camps: (1) those who love our country and its history and cry at what we are becoming and (2) those who do not understand the coming consequences or who simply do not care.  

The truth, when all added up, is truly scary, isn't it?  

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
