First off, let me tell you that if you are like me, you love America. I think you'll agree with me, things are in a pretty bad state of affairs here in America. Blessed as America has been, something has happened to our "Home of the Brave and Land of the Free." As a career Soldier I have done more with my life than talk or vote and it is because of this I am putting a few thoughts to print.
America, we have lost our moral bearings. The result is what you and I see today. It wasn't the war, it wasn't racial issues, it wasn't differences of political opinions. America, we let go of personal responsibility and accountabilty and since no one was responsible everyone is going to pay for it. (When no one cares if the screen door is left open then no one can complain about bugs and rodents in the house.) It reminds me of that saying, "When all is said and done, more is said than done."
The current liberal culture has brought us to this chaotic economic, moral and social state. Somewhere society as a whole has lost the most basic foundation that made it civil. Liberals have decried personal responsibility and introduced their own version of communistic equality - resulting in no personal sense of "work and earn it" but take it from those who did earn it and give it to those who haven't. This same liberalism has been allowed to run the media with a liberal agenda. This has resulted in calling those with a sense of personal accountability, moral compass or sense of answering to a Higher Power as merely possessing undeveloped ego strengths and infantile impulse control and Victorian, antiquated ideologies. The Liberals have either stated or at least inferred that preventing self expression damages individualistic self worth resulting in parents being afraid to punish their children when they misbehave (I use the word "punish" because the word "correct" isn't understood by toddlers and a swift swat to the hind end will not crush a child's ego when that same child equates misbehaving with punishment!). So trash talk is accepted, communities cannot set acceptable standards and our children are bombarded with that which destroys innocence and mars a sense of moral purity. This same liberalism has lowered our social morals to the point where back talking parents and teachers makes the home and classroom a place where the immature dictates. And nothing is more frightening than immature dictators. We have gone so far down the path away from common sense that acting on sexual urges of teenagers is seen as a healthy expression regardless of gender, timing, personal accountability or the basic understanding of reproduction (it amazes me that the argument between "pro-life" and "pro-choice" is over a pregnancy but no one seems to address what caused the pregnancy in the first place - simple economics illustrate the fact that what one deposits results in compound interest. If they don't want the "dividends" then don't make a deposit.)
There is more to expound upon but for now you get the picture. Don't blame Washington. Get off the Democrats and the Republicans - look in the mirror.
And so, America, here we are. America is sitting in global economic embarrassment, if not ruin. Our economics are shot, our morals are shot and our social standard is shot. Don't look to Washington to fix it. Don't expect our government to lead the way to moral redemption or divine intervention. Argue if you will about the separation of Church and State until you are blue in the face. Like it or not, America, we now have the separation of Church and State - what did you expect when God was not allowed to have access to our money, our morals and our societal foundation? Liberalism only works when no one really cares about the consequences.
I hope to God we care enough now.
