America Is Lost
America has become a nation of pussies. This country was created through struggle. Our forefathers fought for freedom and with threat of bayonets and bullets they continued to fight on. The Civil Rights movement was hard but thousands continued to march in the streets and fight through hoses full of scalding hot water. The common theme was to show that the powerless was more powerful than the power brokers if they were just united and firm. That change is possible, but the struggle to achieve it is great. Women fought for their right to vote. African Americans fought for their right to be free. The poor is still fighting for it’s right to live.
Our forefathers would not allow this tyranny to continue without a swift and resound response. They wouldn’t allow the rich to continue their assault on the poor and than turn to the government for help when the poor can no longer bleed. They would fight back against those who believe a wealthy few are more important than a struggling majority. Those who send our brothers, sisters, mothers and fathers to fight in their wars so they can obtain an oil contract. They would fight back.
Today we are provided with enough entertainment vices that we are content with letting it happen. We allow the same politicians to serve in office because we are too lazy to make a difference by standing in a line. We care more about the number of MySpace Friends than our neighbors who have lost everything because of greed. We allow it to happen because we just don’t care and World of Warcraft provides more stimulation.
The Idea that is America is dying, and we refuse to do something about it. Our forefathers and the millions who fought for Civil Rights shouldn’t have bothered. What they fought for died long ago and this America isn’t worth saving!
Tomorrow I’m going to work and will conform like you, because like you I’m too scared to be the first person to act.

Great post, until the end.
Fear is what gives them control.
What the hell is everyone afraid of. It’s your country!
One point you hit on the head is the part where you say, the people get screwed by the govt. and look to them for help.
I call that the spousal abuse syndrome.
It works and they use it all the time.
When people tell me crap like – “they” will do what ever they want anyway. Makes me nuts.
They are you, so, it is you that is screwing you, because you allow it.
Everyone dies – that is a given,
So, what are you going to do between now and then?
That is the question.
Your life, your country, your future.
Fear, what the hell is everyone afraid of?
Makes no sense.
One thing that is guaranteed, things will get worse not better, until people learn to stand up.
Educate yourself and everyone you know.
Then, get active.
Lose the fear.
Always enjoy your day.
