There Really Is Nothing Else Anyone Can Say.

Our newly appointed Attorney general wants courage. Frankly in my opinion I do not think he and many can accept truth because that in essence is what courage is all about. It is doing something for the good of others that few dare to do. It is not only found on the battle field, it is found in the few who speak out against wrong, an, evil, crime, exploitation and abuse. Yes by fact he is right, few to none have what it takes.
So in speaking out herein I do not say I have any more courage then anyone else. I just prefer to speak for many who won't or can't. So if your feelings get hurt I apologize but truth is reality and wrong of any kind is not going to just go away regardless of the hoping we do. It does take action by us all. In that I see no hope.
In my opinion America is gone. It left sometime ago but the exact date and time no one knows or cares about. The decorations are still plastered about and from time to time we get together to remember but reality says that was another time, place and era. When we do this we try to capture the essence of what it once was, yet like I say it can be found nowhere in this age. One can write a million words to that and it matters not. Why, well when the character of a nation goes, so does the soul and America, our soul is dead. That death reflected in every small town and city all across this land.
Yes America is dead-
It is dead in the bling bailouts that saved the backsides of irresponsible, greedy merchants and bankers and is still doing that at the expense of average Americans and for generations to come.
It is dead at the hands of self professed believers in God who actually like, approve and support Right to Work states and laws and justify them defending employers. Yes even when people are demeaned, abused, exploited and destroyed.

It is dead when illegal workers and aliens roam rampant across our land, stealing our identities, working our jobs, breaking our laws and our leaders propagate, support and condone and even want to reward those deeds. Yes and over those who wait to come and follow the system and the law.
It is dead when we foster another language and culture upon our nation, fact.
It is dead in the usury and other laws which condone and support greed. Yes at the hands of self professed politicians who claim to be Born Again and Christians. Some even excommunicated and don't care to admit it because they do not even know the doctrines of their own "professed" faith.

It is dead in the bankruptcy revisions that crush people and at the hands of these very same leaders, that Washington Crown, and yes my own self professed Senators and yours who took substantial lobby money. yes and one who even now wants to give back funds. rhetorically could it be they come from a dubious source?
It is dead because there is no real help in their promises or hollow words. How can you hope in these types? I won't even address it. To me it goes way past reasoning and belief. Yes like the promises of help but for who. Certainly not those irresponsible types as our new president said. No, just those that, get this, "qualify". How many do you know that fit that?
It is dead in the facades they created. Why, because many still truly believe in government and that we are a super power. Sure we can nuke you but what else? We even had to go to Israel to buy bullets. No manufacturing, no industry, no nothing any longer, gone, dead and buried never to return. No what we have is a maybe, hope and perhaps. The three Amigo's or I should say Amero.
Yes, do you think our president is up there in Canada talking hockey? We are a nation in my opinion of paper on the walls but no common sense. Hey who am I, no one, but I sure as hell saw this mess coming years ago and I see what is right ahead.
Yes in my opinion the character, attitudes and personalities wrapped in deceit and emptiness. Yes their works pathetic, their values non existent as they ply their trade daily ruining lives while presenting themselves as good and honorable. Noble knights of the people and for the people, really. I have to say that again, really?
Well There really is nothing else anyone can say. We are dead and even though we may rise again from the grave we will never ever be what we once were. That is a long time ago in a land far, far, away. Yes and there by reality and fact is no one capable of changing anything because we ourselves are the destroyers of our very being.

Top-level comments on this article: (3 total)Robert,I realize the significance of "There really is nothing else anyone can say." I too find our country is no longer what it once was and continues to slide. I noticed in your bio that you are involved in "developing a new company" which means you may actually see something, however small, that is worth saving or building upon in these United States. Your work with children and your family also shows you are still working to plant seeds for the future. God bless.Please log in to respond to this comment.Thanks Jon, we are actively involved and try to give the young we are blessed to interact with a true hope in their potential by giving them reality and the information and tools they need to be able to make good choices in life. Yes, while many may judge my writings negatively or doomsday it is quite the contrary. There is hope in America and opportunity if we look at reality first and we address it in truth. If you do not have a handle on that your going to make the wrong choices. I was always told when the going gets tough the tough get going, never quit. However, that starts with us all individually and in groups. One person and empty cry many a great roar. I am saddened that we no longer provide the tools for our young to get going and we prefer to give our hope to others offshore. I am saddened that we have corrupted the American dream for a one world solution that cannot prevail because truth has no place in it and greed and selfishness reign. I am not opposed to any of this but, and that but is critical, our young families, vets, and our future generations should be first and then all else will follow.

Sir Robert, I enjoyed reading this article, and you and Jon's exchange with each other. I believe I understand the realities that face us as a nation, a world. The US is not what it used to be and in so many regards, I shout Hallelujah! There is a great deal left to be said and as you said yourself: "One person an empty cry many a great roar."
Perhaps it's time to roar something differently? Something that will bring hope. Starting a new business venture is big! Working with youth to point them in the right direction, even bigger! Maybe a victory cry instead of a battle cry? We can roar in the midst of a recession so that the One true Source can be glorified?
• You opened a successful business in the middle of a recession when all else was falling about you.
• Kids turned to Christ when the media said they were a lost generation.
Wouldn't these be great testimonies in the midst of present-day reality? I sincerely believe this is what our Father expects from us when the going gets tough. Speak the facts but call it what you want it to be. That's faith in action. Don't you agree?
You stir up so much in me, Robert. It's all good. Thank you for that!
Your friend - many blessings,
Avis
Please log in to respond to this comment.Avis exactly what I was talking to yesterday. You are correct, we need to light that spark for our young. Give young families hope and a chance. I am reaching out with this new venture to young adults locally and all over to provide hope in getting involved in this new venture. I think you have the same opportunity, We can put people to work and give them their own business, a real business. Now we must take advantage of what we can. I am seeking a grant to grow the business. I feel very confident you can as well, especially as a woman in the business world. We can make an impact and that is the message. Hope starts with action not just sitting. With all my very best as always, Robert.Please log in to respond to this comment.
Powerful nations come and go; that's life; that's history, and the USA is not immune. But there is a difference between being the "most powerful nation in the world" and being the "greatest nation in the world". I'm Canadian and I know that Canada is not the most powerful nation in the world; that is fact and I can't deny it. But in my most biased way, I think of my country as being the greatest nation in the world. Quite a biased comment, but if everyone in every nation were to believe that about their country, then they could help make the changes to evoke that image to the world. Wouldn't it be better to be the "greatest" rather than the "most powerful"?Please log in to respond to this comment.David thanks for reading and commenting. The facts are we were a Super Power and we were once envisioned as the greatest nation in the world and not because of that super power capabilty but because of our rights and freedoms and a way of life that brought and provided the opportunities to common folk all over the globe, Canada included. Yet today that is gone and while many hate America, they kill the very source that feeds them, like it or not reality. I happen to believe there is no great power anywhere, any place. Why, a great power would have people as their first priority, their genral welfare and for the common good of all their citizens as a first priority and not the world. vertainly not for greed but America first as you would place your own beloved nation, first. Now perhaps that is true in Canada perhaps not? If it is then perhaps maybe that is where many of us long to be? I do know that without American money and influence many natons would not be what they are. Our factories, jobs, future gone offshore. No nation, not one, can survive and be when that happens. That is where we are today. Best wishes.Please log in to respond to this comment.
