Wow I knew the mismanagement of money was bad, but that is worse than I thought . The good old USA we don't want to spend money teaching kids, but we will drop million dollar bombs on clay huts If we spent all the money we do on war improving peoples lives instead of destroying them just imagine how drastically different the world would be... easily something out of the movies.

USA still has great capacity and the darkest hour is just before the dawn.

Sometimes failure is the spur we need for greatness.

Inadvertently again, a past point has been made.

Look at this thread as an example, serious issues with very possible changes possible. Yet minimal interest by the majority because it is real world. Most people want to continue living in "their" world instead of focusing on the actual world around them.

If they still have the couch, tv and internet they can continue to "Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen" .

Because that is what is being done, conforming and consuming.

We as a people can make a difference, we the people have the authority not the federal government. They only have what authority we the people allow them to have as a privilege of office. An office we the people allow them to fill as long as they maintain that office in the peoples best interest, that is you and me, we, the people.

How can we expect the world to maintain the lost American view?
America is not the nation we inherited from our grandparents, let alone our parents. I was born into the Carter administration, remember Reagan and am seeing what will be the sixth president in my lifetime so far.

I was raised hearing from my elders to "buy American", and taught what communists were. Know the difference between a salad fork and a normal dinner fork, as well as where they are set.

Point being, our grand parents remembered a different America from their child hood and tried to remind us what it took to keep that America. Ask any senior citizen about what they think of the USA today. It is not the USA, not as it should be and can be. But not unless we the people make that stand together.

United We Stand, The Rest Is, Not An Option!

With the renewed interest in government spending and misappropriations, I wanted to take the time and remind our fellow ATSers and lurkers, that there is a viable beginning to a solution.




History only repeats, because we let it.

The truth be told,I hear a lot of how people are fed up with current situation and talk about how they should confront our leaders ,working with many young students and older retired as well,I'm afraid it's all hot air,I've seen how they are in fear of saying anything or disagreeing with our supposed leaders,face it majority in US will run like scared rabbits at the mere thought of confrontation,I'm sorry to say we are destine to be slaves makes me sad how most now days are eager for handouts,when I was young I was taught that it was an embarrasement to recieve handouts when you are able bodied,my parents are rolling in their graves,we are experiancing the US being taken from us before our very eyes,oh well I'm old I'll die soon
