We have and are failing

We as Americans, have and continue to fail our moral and ethical obligations to our founding fathers, to ourselves and to the future generations of Americans. We have failed them miserably by overlooking, ignoring and refusing to take action against our elected officials, politicians, judges, law enforcement , government employees and anyone in a position of public trust for crimes against our Constitution and against our fellow Americans for bribery, kick backs, obstruction of justice, perjury, assault, intimidation, operating criminal enterprise, wire fraud, bid rigging, collusion, falsifying documents, misuse of public funds, and a whole slew of other violations of laws and public trust.

We have failed them miserably by letting the government take and limit more and more of our constitutional rights with out protesting and demanding to vote on the issues. With allowing them to secretly pass bills and laws into effect behind closed doors. By allowing private industry and individuals to give money, favors and a variety of perks and positions in order to Influance , alter , restrain , overlook, exempt , intimidate and sway laws and regulations to their benefit regardless of moral and legal implications. And by not limiting the amount of campaign contributions and the amount permitted for each candidate to be spend on their campaigns.

We have also failed them by tolerating the intolerant to the point of silencing public outcries and public debate in fear of offending a group by exposing their agenda and intentions in the name of politically correctness.

As well as failing them by permitting and overlooking illegal immigration , by allowing them to remain in America with no intentions of assimilating into society or declaring their allegiance to America. And by giving them tax payer benefits that they have no right to receive. And by allowing them to vote.

And failed them by permitting a government take power that no longer has the interest or desire to do what is best for its citizens. And by not watching, protecting and insuring the integrity of the greatest government/ citizen contract ever written. I am concerned that it may be to late to save it. Lord knows voting makes no difference .

To all our veterans for your invaluable and selfless service and all our first responders and law enforcement THANK YOU!!!

Bless us all for America is truly in a time of crisis at a very pivotal point in history.

A proud but discouraged American.

And failed them by living beyond the means of the nation until every man, woman and child who is a citizen owes close to $100,000 to some overseas government for goods and service that Americans has already consumed and are adding $ Trillions every year to that amount..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman Let me ask you, when was the last time your Gov't demanded you pony up and personally help to pay off the Nat'l debt hmmm?
Never, that's when.

@Vin53 You are missing the point. Your govt is responsible for this. But it will be other nations inposing trade sactions and demanding payment in something out than printed $ and refusing supplies, they will sent the standard of living for ordinary americans plumetting..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman Our Nation has had debt time immemorial and we've always been there for countries around the globe. The world literally needs the US to have a thriving economy.

@Vin53 That was when America was the global manufacturing powerhouse. Thats China now. Times have changed and America has not..America is becoming Britain, trading in money more than production and importing most things,..😷

@Vin53 That's your opinion buck wheat , but that facts are the facts . America is not living up to its moral and ethical obligations to our founding fathers in so.many ways. Go read a few of the problems we are letting slide today and tell me the current administration is living up to its part. I might be a fool but I am a wise fool. I don't need to make personal attacks on someone while I attempting to prove my point.

@goodlil666

America is not living up to its moral and ethical obligations to our founding fathers in so.many ways.

Facts!???? ARE YOU SERIOUS? That's the quintessential example of opinion!!

goodlil666 · 51-55, M

@Vin53 No , not by any means. Just go read the Constitution and see how much of it is violated and ignored .

LordShadowfire · 46-50, M

@goodlil666 Yeah, by MAGATs like you.

whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M

@goodlil666 That any of it is violated or ignored is wrong. Planning to violate more to "correct" things is every bit as bad,, America needs a do over and it wont get one while the money pulls the strings..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman That's debatable , some of our founding fathers , Jefferson in particular , thought Americans should have a revolution when ever we needed it. One of his most famous quotes is " The tree of Liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. "

No doubt , we need a do over big time. That's part of the reason for me creating this post. Bounce some thoughts around , ideas, suggestions out of the box solutions ? What if anything we can do to get this country back on track. Trump nor Biden are any part of that solution . But correct some how the money and corporate and private Influance have to be eliminated for good. Voting sure as hell is not going to accomplish it.

LordShadowfire · 46-50, M

@goodlil666 See, you keep saying that, and then you accuse Biden of treason without any evidence, which really kills the believability.

goodlil666 · 51-55, M

Maybe isolating, exposing, contesting , public humiliation , form some kind of civilian over site board of ethics with the power to indite with criminal charges and steep mandatory jail sentences for anyone in a government position or elected officials on both a state and federal level??

@goodlil666 I agree with you. And I agree with Jefferson. Its the definition of Tyrant that needs to be closely watched. It is a fact of modern society that a "war" doesnt have to mean bullets and bombs. The Japanese actually had that idea in Asia before WW2 and it was the American trade embargo that turned them to all out war. (Yes I know they were fighting in China before, but that was relatively localized) Then Japan succeeded the second time in the 60s with American tools and better ideas and won that economic war, becoming an international power. Now the Chinese will take the globe with it. Economic Warfare is cheaper and less disruptive to markets..
So equally revolutions dont have to be fought with guns. They can be fought by people deciding there is a better way and taking it for themselves and for their families. Whether its different food, different transport or different schools. But the people need to make those decisions..Because the governments are being bought..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman True they don't but.. sometimes that's the only answer.

whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M

@goodlil666 I agree, as a last resort..And if it comes to that, you cant afford to leave the matter undecided..😷
