To show how naive I am,
I even thought the media would be truthful and report the facts. It truly never
occurred to me that the “mainstream” media would editorialize the news to fit
their own agenda. Boy was I wrong. Today what you believe depends almost
entirely on what networks you watch or what publications you read. If you watch
the alphabet networks, you get only an ultra liberal view of news and never
really hear the truth. How sad. If the New York Times is your source of news,
you never get to know the whole truth and are left with just their editorial
idea of what truth is, or what truth you should hear.
Last November over half
of the country decided they had had enough and elected a Republican President,
a Republican Senate, and a Republican House of Representatives. That’ll fix the
mess, we thought. Wrong again. While the President is doing everything in his
power to fix it, he is constantly stymied by a few disloyal so-called
Republicans who have no concern for anything but themselves. Of course the
Democrats are never going to be on board because they are the authors of the
problems in this country. From the “Great Society” to Obamacare, to all sorts
of give-away programs which have virtually eliminated all incentive from a
large portion of our citizenry. These are Democrat programs and they are
leading to the destruction of our values and our way of life.
California is virtually
bankrupt as are several other Democrat run states. California, as a way of
dealing with their fiscal cesspool, decided to make their entire state a
sanctuary for illegal aliens from all over the world. That probably will be the
straw that will finally break their camel’s back. If the Federal Government
withholds money from those lefties, they are doomed.
Hollywood has decided to
alienate over half of their possible customers by taking a leftist hardline on
everything. The decidedly unfunny comedians are soon going to be without any
audience. ESPN is on the verge of losing everything because of their cowardice
and “political correctness”. The NFL may soon be a thing of the past because of
that same cowardice. The Senate has become an “old age” home.
Yes, I am disappointed.
I truly never thought I would see such days as these. And yes, I am
disillusioned. What has happened to the morality of our citizens? What has
happened to patriotism? What has become of good manners? Oh, and yes, I am
disgusted. I’m disgusted with the greed of those politicians who think only of
themselves with no thought of the country they serve. I am disgusted that some
of them grow obscenely wealthy at the taxpayer’s expense. They should hang
their heads in shame as they are led off to prison to serve the sentences many
so richly deserve.
Finally, I wonder, is it
too late to fix this? Have we gone too far? Can Trump get any cooperation from
the people we elected to help him? Or, will the swamp just continue until
everything turns into swamp sludge? I have smelled swamps. They stink. Is that
our heritage? Is this what we are leaving to our children and grandchildren? I
truly hope not.
We need to add another D
to our list. Defense. We absolutely must defend our American way of life before
it is too late.
