As We Sleep

Americans have become complacent in their way of life. They think that nothing is ever going to happen to this country but sad to say they could be wrong. Did you ever get the feeling that something is just not right about the way everything is going in the country? Is there something that is down inside you that keeps telling you there is something wrong here? Have you ever asked yourself the question : When are the politicians going to listen to the people instead of the special interest groups?

There is something wrong and it is the destruction of the United States from within. It has been happening for awhile now, but over the past few months it seemed to be speeding up in intensity. I know I am not the only one who notices this, judging by the million of people out there who are expressing the same feelings. The real downfall came, when President Obama was sworn in and the Democrats took control in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. The country is being destroyed by our government.

Since when is the United States in the business of buying banks, mortgage companies, and car companies? We never have been before, at least no where near this scale. Government is increasing in size and spending is out of control. Our whole government is out of control. Our debt is in the trillions of dollars. The national debt is so mind boggling, but our leaders [the politicians in Washington] keep on spending.

Now you look at all that and wonder is it all for our own good? The answer is no, it isn’t. Government has never been the solution to the problem and I doubt it will begin to do that now. It is about control and power. Liberals and progresses. Their reasoning behind all this is to have more control over us and to tax us more in order to redistribute the wealth. That might appeal to some people, but not to me and not to millions and millions of people. Those things, coupled with the bailouts and the purchase of General Motors has me wondering about this country. We are moving down a European socialistic path. It is a dangerous one to go down and one that is in opposition of everything this country stands for. Many people aren’t realizing what is happening all around them, but slowly people are beginning to stir and wonder what the heck is going on. Things are happening that are destroying our country, while we sleep, If the American people will wake up and start asking questions of our government and our president (The one who promised change) we might have a chance to reverse the course and the slippery slope that we are on. Obama promised the country change when he was running for office and he is sure delivering on that promise. I just don’t think this is what many people had in mind.
