September 2015. There's a crisis in America, and it's growing, festering, soaking
into the fiber of good people, young people, innocent people. No one
wants it so, but denying it won't make it stop, go away, leave America
alone. It's a fact. You have to recognize the problem and call it by its name, before you can sink your teeth in, bite it, yank it out and spit it in the trash where it belongs.
According to the Washington Times,
groups -- such as Gamaliel Foundation, the Drug Policy Alliance, Make
the Road New York, Equal Justice USA, Black Lives Matter and others
funded by George Soros and his Open Society Foundations -- embrace the goal to agitate and manipulate public opinion against conservatives. These groups seem eager to turn Americans against each other.
On top of that battery of agitators, militants, such as (1)
Islamic jihad militants who raise arms and chant "Death" invade the
hearts and minds of Americans, sneak into our homes through the
Internet, hack technologies and undermine American safety, (2) Mexican
La Raza militants founded by Jose Gutierre vow to kill Americans, and
(3) illegal alien criminals murder American citizens living right here
on American soil.
America's safety has always been paramount with Americans. Today,
this day, as Texas buries one of our murdered police officers, the
militant war inside America's borders feels real to this Texan. Too real. It was a breaking point for me, but certainly not the only horrible murder in America.
Too many men, women and children have died at the hands of misguided
individuals who may have been influenced by agitator talk and the
attraction of militant movements.
More than a few comments posted on social media are bitter words spelling disrespect for fellow Americans. I know it didn't just happen yesterday, but… What?
It's not how real Americans behave, is it? Americans have always believed in fair treatment and respect for each other.
Paid purveyors, 1000s of followers of one or more agitator or militant groups,
nasty comment and tweet and facebook. They dispaarage, disrupt,
disagree, insult and basically cause trouble, don't they?
Are the agitators and militants gaining ground? Eroding the very
principles that make America America? It doesn't sound like honest
disagreement. It's mostly blatant trash talk that offers slurs and
slanders suspiciously intended to manipulate opinion. Your opinion.
It's true, many people feel mistreated. Ignored. Let down, abandoned,
neglected, even deceived. President Obama failed the American people in
this respect. Unfortunately, that personal feeling of defeat connects
wth agitators and militant rhetoric.
For whatever reason, America is ripe with lawless individuals and
some act out their frustration. It happens across State lines, in
schools, to and by all races, to citizens and non-citizens, in church
parishes, suburban and rural neighborhoods, big cities and small. Our
homes. Where we live and nurture our children.
Yes, it happens in the political environment. Sparring is expected among
candidates in both parties who are in a contest for the highest job in
the land. Politics, by nature, isn't polite, is it? They aren't to
blame. The candidates are not agitators or militants, are they?
Something else is going on, and the world watches and listens. Paid agitators and militants incite unrest as militants degrade and weaken America's police. Still, our President says nothing, does nothing.
Obama has been President for two terms, yet he doesn't seem to be very good at creating an atmosphere that provides jobs. According to Gallop,"30
million Americans are either out of work or severely underemployed…
America has failed to deliver that [American] dream more than it has at
any time in recent memory."
When Obama took office, the National Debt was $10+ trillion. It's now $18+ trillion. Gallop writes, "America's debt is the largest in the world for a single country."
In all fairness, even though well educated, Obama probably never had
real world experience creating jobs. He never ran a business that
operated on a succeed-fail budget. He doesn't seem to own the fighting spirit needed to stop the lawlessness in America, either. But he has a nice smile, doesn't he?
One of the great freedoms still alive in America is free speech. We all
celebrate our right to say how we feel. It's always been that way.
Freedom is a precious right our forefathers fought to preserve.
Did the signers of our Constitution mean that Americans should
abuse our freedom of speech to berate, belittle and backbite oher
Americans? Real Americans don't do that, do they?
It's agitators and militants who want to ignite a brush fire burning in
minds and mouths across America. They and theirs use words to inflame others, act contrary to decency, make our enemies right.
Are we becoming a nasty population? Is it a crisis promoted by agitators and militants? Has the definition of freedom gone amuck?
Isn't any act causing a rebellion or resistance against civil authority and America's established government, its laws, called insurrection.
It's not a flood of rioters waving rifles across a grassy plain. It's
worse. It's not that easy to identify. It's like brainwashing, infecting good people, America's young. It's feeding on America's unrest, hopeless feeling, and it's grow
If the "non-politician outsiders" who are front runners in the 2016
Presidential election proves anything, it's that Americans reject
whatever's going on, the status quo, Washington politicians who do
nothing.Americans are desperate for calm, for peace, for sanity, for law and order. A nasty America isn't good for the family, our children, our businesses, or our reputation in the world as a loving nation.
There is a crisis in America. Someone wants Americans to war with each other. Agitators and militants have a purpose, an agenda, an objective. Nothing good.
Whether you work at a job, sit jobless on the couch, engage customers in
your own self employed business, chat with your children, friends and
neighbors — the next time, you speak your mind, tweet on Twitter, blog,
facebook, text and email, stop, think, roll. Put that fire out. Resist the urge to slap back. Speak, write, act with respect for your fellow Americans. Baby steps.
