Bon Appetite America! |
In years gone by, when America and
Americans were at the top of the World's heap; wealthy and brimming
over with a surplus of goods and services, we all had enough to go
around. Even the poor could look forward to a nice Thanksgiving
repast at local houses of charity. Others, more well off, enjoyed
tables that spilled over with all the trappings of an opulent
society; turkey, yams, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, you name it
and that item graced many a table. Family and friends would all
gather together to give thanks for living in one Nation, under God
with Liberty for all.... Today, that isn't so much the case.
After almost a decade of watching the
transfer of wealth to other nations, most notably China, America
quickly went from creditor to debtor status, to the tune of 18
trillion dollars! And, under Obama's astute leadership, that debt
continues to accrue at the rate of a trillion a year. Tick tick
tick...
Today, on the eve of Thanksgiving 2014,
America finds herself in decline just about everywhere one cares to
look. China, on the other hand, is rapidly emerging as the new world
power and she's doing it with a vengeance. (That country's disdain
for the West is well documented and yes, her government hackers are
capable of taking down our power grid at any time. According to HLS,
it now is more a question of not if, but when).
ISIL is rapidly expanding and
consolidating her position in the Middle East. A group that is sworn
to the destruction of our country and our way of life. And yes, you
can bet they will mount an attack on our soil just as soon as it
becomes convenient for them to do so. (What's Emperor Obama doing
about that? He's too busy kowtowing to appeasing Iran and building
his Legacy to bother with this country's security concerns). Truth!
On the home front, our people on the
southern border are preparing, as best they can, for a major influx
of Mexican and International illegals as the word of Obama's most
recent 'Amnesty order' spreads far and wide. The four million who
were just granted work permits won't ever leave now. That's a fact!
And Obama has promised that the other seven million will be granted
similar permits, just as soon as he can refresh the ink in his pen.
But wait! There's more. Just over the
horizon are sweeping carbon emission restrictions that Obama so
graciously gave away to China. A 26% reduction over the next ten
years has been agreed upon for the US with no reductions agreed upon
by China! How would we achieve that, you might ask? Simple. Close
down most if not all the coal fired electricity plants across the
Nation. A move that would cause our energy cost to skyrocket
overnight! Oh, and by the way, these actions, enforced by a now well
armed EPA would be done via Executive Order – not by any any
actions of a lame and growingly useless Congress.
I could go on, but that would be mostly
a waste of my time. Truth be told, most Americans no longer seem to
care. And, even though many of us will have to make do with less,
this time around. Thanksgiving is, and always be, near and dear to my
heart!
