Our America

   Many, many moons ago….in a far far away land, there was a great country the people called “The United States of America”. This country was the most powerful country in the world, feared by all who would do evil and respected by all who fought for good. This was a land where brave men and women went that wanted more out of life. These were not the kind of people who were lazy or cowards, they were the kind of people that blazed their own path and didn’t take “no” for an answer.

   As they started their new country, others took notice of the bravery and determination of these pioneers. Over the years, the world saw that it was to their advantage to stay on the good side of these determined souls. They watched as evil empire after evil empire fell to the great armies of the Americans. This country grew to encompass land from coast to coast on its new continent. Many tried in vain to topple the superpower, while others took notice of the Americans superiority and created alliances with them. For over two hundred years the Americans defeated the likes of Germany, Japan, Mexico, Italy and countless internal enemies of the country.

   As the Americans honed their military skills, numerous industrial firsts were introduced to the world from its citizens. Self pride and a strong moral compass kept the country in line and helped turn out world leaders of unequaled character. Many “firsts” were awarded to Americans throughout history; the first man on the moon, medical breakthroughs, humanitarian aid, and military conquests were all what made this country great.

   I know what you are probably thinking, “Enough with the history lesson”. Right? Well, I would hope that you are thinking “How did this great country fall to its weak existence of today?” We the People have the ability to turn this thing around. Let’s tell our career politicians that we are unhappy with them and that they better change or suffer the consequences. This country was founded by men who were leaders, not followers. If Washington doesn’t believe that we can take control of this country, all they need to do is read their history books.
