Founded on July 4th, 1776 with the signing of the Declaration of Independence was an independent America.
On “Independence Day,” July Fourth of this year, Americans are expected to celebrate the 232th Birthday of what was for nearly 200 years; the greatest country on this earth.
For over 2 centuries, Americans enjoyed the finest of ideological societies…that is to say, that Americans and the rest of the world assumed they did. Today everyone clearly sees the other side to the story.
Something “bad” has happened to America. It seems to have gone the way of the poison barb and the whole of the earth’s people see it as a vulgar, violent, and forsaken country…a nation of “freakish bullying hogs” that will stop at nothing to fatten already over stuffed “pigs.”
Overseas we have been waging impunity’s war for more than 60 years; and on our very own shores, the weak, the impoverished, the old, and up and coming generations are being victimized by corrupt political leadership and conglomerate powers as they combine and re-stage “bogus reality” for titillation of the masses. From a controlled media, we as ordinary citizens, are blatantly exposed to brazen and obvious untruths daily to sustain this monster pig’s voracious appetite.
In the world’s eye, we are a nation of lazy, indifferent, apathetic puppets who live a life of luxury. We Americans, most assuredly, have been given an outstanding gift. There was a time when I felt undeniably proud to be an American and celebrated whole heartily on the 4th of July. I am not anti-America, I am disgusted, disillusioned, tired of being lied to, and damn well pissed off. There is no economical reason why any working American can’t sustain a living, yet as it stands today, the ordinary citizen has to struggle every single day just to feed his family. He is an overused and abused mule that is on it’s last leg. The goose that lay golden eggs is fast becoming barren, an endangered species that is going the way of the DODO bird.
So this Fourth of July, when you sing the National Anthem, or wave the flag; whether you enjoy a fireworks display or participate in a family barbecue in celebration of our country’s birthday, realize this one thing: we are enslaving ourselves by our own appetites.
Our health care system, our national debt, our reputation as humanitarians, our quality of life, and our God given rights to pursue happiness is at stake. In today’s world of politics and publicity our representatives and lawmakers have sold out every single American and they have distorted the very principals this great nation was founded upon. Freedom is now but an instrument blasting a sour tune of materialistic nothingness. America the Beautiful has become a nation that embraces things instead of integrity. It’s purple mountain majesty is no longer colored in Liberty. Whereas our Founding Fathers cherished freedom, today’s Senate, Congress, Supreme Court, and political representatives (from the local mayor all the way up to the President) favor self. We, the American people are no longer represented, instead we are directed. One can only guess how long this trend will last before we have lost all that America was meant to be.
