For many years I have pondered why our country is so split apart by many factors. Political leanings, extremism, race, standard of living and so much more. I think I have had revelations on many of those fronts.
First are those who gave and many are continuing to give. You know, the military, veterans, police, fire, paramedics and other first responders, medical professionals and more who give back every day, either through their service to humanity or through enduring injury and illness incurred while stepping up and protecting not only America, but securing freedom for others.
Then we have those who took and continue to take. They never contribute anything to society and will do whatever it takes to continue feeding on the hind tit of society. Won't work a productive job, live in mom's basement, live on welfare or other assistance programs, and drain the country of not only cash, but the human vitality that propels people and a nation forward.
Then we have the do nothing's. They wait for everyone else to do what needs to be done, and then criticize them for doing it. They want things done for them, or to turn out the way they wish, but won't lift a finger to help. Then they bemoan that things are not going their way!
Look at the situation honestly and without bias. How do we fix some of the big problems our country faces?
People decry the police shooting of a person, color irregardless. But why isn't there the same hue and cry over the hundreds killed in the neighborhoods where nobody seems to see or know anything after the shootings? Why do dozens and hundreds of people of color die in their own neighborhoods, not at the hands of anyone but their own people? Why is there no movement to stop that crime and murder? I can't answer that, but the beginnings of safe neighborhoods start with the residents. As long as thugs and murderers get away with their crimes, there will be no stopping them. People need to stand up and fight back. And, de-funding the police especially in areas that are crime ridden is moronic. Less police equals more crime in the inner cities and that's a fact.
Why as a nation do we allow welfare and social service programs to run rampant where people can be on the public dole for generations? Doesn't anyone ever require that the recipients work? How does it occur that people can have ten babies, all paid by the social service system and never work a day in their lives? Doesn't matter the color, race or creed, this type of system fraught with fraud has gone on long enough. Sadly, those who often need help the most are denied because the monies are going to those less deserving. And that just is wrong! Not to get biblical, but the saying of "give a man a fish and he eats for a day; teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime" is so true. Those who want help need to get moving and help themselves. Yes COVID-19 is a hindrance but this persisted for decades way before the virus came to visit.
Why is there always a left and right in government? Is there never a middle ground? Why do politicians seem to spend their time in office fighting, cutting down the other party, trying to screw the opposite side instead of actually working for the American people who pay their way? IF the politicians spent as much time actually doing the work of the public, they wouldn't have time to fight so much. And why do politicians pander to a vote rather than what's good for the people? Giving free money and medical support to illegals seems an odd way to spend the American taxpayer's money.
And why do politicians get free healthcare and a huge retirement when they serve as little as one term? The American people struggle to pay for healthcare and the politicians get a free ride. No matter so many want to become senators and congressmen. What's good for every American is what the politicians should be getting and no more or less.
It doesn't matter what color you are, you can be successful. This white privilege is a bunch of crap developed by idiots who have no idea what they are talking about. Let's see...starting working at 13, helping keep a house as well, going to school, working part time through high school, fighting a war through military service, going to college out of one's own pocket while working and supporting a family, never asking for a hand out and doing what was needed to survive and grow. If that's white privilege it isn't all that wonderful. And what's interesting is that men and women of color were doing the same thing at the same time. Many were successful doctors, lawyers, accountants, engineers and so much more. They had what...black privilege? No, what they had was drive and a wanting to be someone, to be better. and they succeeded.
If you want to be nothing, don't work, do drugs, be a thug and commit crimes, loot, steal and burn and disrespect authority you can bet that will be your entire life. You will become nothing, be nothing and likely die on the street in a hail of bullets or a drug overdose or the wreck of a stolen car. Your mom will cry at the loss of a child, but she shares much of the blame, and now the guilt, for how you turned out. The lack of parenting and any controls allowed you to become nothing more than a stain on the pavement, the recipient of a bunch of dollar store candles and cheap balloons in a makeshift memorial. Just like the one a block away, and several blocks further and more.
Finally, if you think these "movements" care about you that's a big mistake. They are designed to create chaos and when it's all over, you will be back where you were, likely poorer and perhaps in worse shape than when it all started. Look at those around you when you protest or march or whatever it is you do. They are there for the thrill of getting away with criminal activity in the name of the First Amendment. Don't let their enthusiasm end up with you creating situations where you have to face people exercising their Second Amendment rights. That will not be a positive outcome.
