GRIT!!!

I know they say "change is good" but, I have been looking around at America in the last couple of years and have seen some changes that I do not believe are best for this nation.

I am all for style and nice cars and nice houses and cool gizmos that rival those found in the best James Bond film. However , I find it hard to support the loss of what made this country truly great. This one trait that all Americans seemed to share in the time Men/Women all throughout history. Name one great American and they had it. The trait is grit or perseverance , perseverance is not the right word but, it comes to mind. Its the trait that simply wouldn't allow Our Founding Fathers to be kicked around by an oppressive Regime 3,000 miles away in england. It is the same trait that made Mario Savio stand up and become a voice for millions in the 1960's and Malcolm X and MLK jr. and many many others. This trait seems to be slowly bleeding out of our culture and is being replaced with this sort of passive compliance for even the most obscene requirements that our government and our media throws upon us. We are supposed to only get angry when it benefits the system, we are supposed to admire only those that they say are admirable. Smart Children are held back and made to hold back their potential. Those that refuse to and show their boredom in class due to lack of being challenged are told they have ADHD and given medical grade Methamphetamines to chemically neuter their ability to think. Those of you intelligent enough to know what I am speaking of have a duty to do something. That is the core of this nation, it is the core of being human we are the only animals on this planet that can speak the way that we do. So.... that should tell us we are obligated to do just that SPEAK!!! SPEAK TO SAVE THIS NATION from those who have no love or understanding of its true beauty.

Lash out with every ounce of SOUL you can muster. Cultivate your inner aggression because anger is a gift. Wisdom teaches us that Anger helps us to recognize when we are enduring too much. It doesn’t take a gun or a uniform to be an American Hero! Stand up and speak out! Write it or shout it but, get your voice out there!!! America is unlike any other nation and we waste it and squander its beauty!!! Its freedoms have been a light of hope to millions across the world and yet we are allowing it to rot from the inside!!! Join me and speak out for the cause that is the American way of life!! A society in which you don’t have to let police step on you, or taser you just because they don’t like what you have to say. I hate to point this out but, this has been a long time in coming, those of you who are doing nothing because you think its not a reality ... think again. It’s all around you in increasing degrees. They taser kids for speaking their minds at college forums and they arrest those who support the ones speaking. Well, I recommend we stop allowing them to Arrest us. Stop allowing them to think that they know what’s good for us! Stop allowing them to make decisions based upon a future they have designed which doesn’t include us! Its a matter of self preservation as well as preserving that one special thing that makes us human. Our connection to each other through our struggle! Be a part of history and get involved!!! Our time is now!!!

SEMPER FI!!!
