American needs to stand for something, to believe in something, to live for something as a nation, not just for individuals. Mr. Obama, Mr. Boehner, Democrats, Republicans, where is your leadership? America used to stand for "Liberty and Justice for All". Now what does America stand for? Accommodation with dictators? Diplomacy with terrorists? Dealing with totalitarian regimes? Buying cheap goods from foreign countries while our own manufacturers go out of business? Allowing US businesses to close plants, lay-off workers in the US, and re-open business in a cheap labor nation? Running multi-dollar trade deficits while our people cannot find jobs, are losing their homes, and wondering where their next meal is coming from? Regulating our national businesses virtually to death while other nations such as India, for example, have booming private businesses because they don't regulate businesses to death? Government spending on foolish things to ridiculous levels so that ourselves and future generations are saddled with tremendous taxes that keep us poor and stifle business?
Do we have any plans or goals to be preeminent in space exploration? No. Instead we are cutting it back. Do we have any plans to improve our missile defense against nuclear attacks? No. Do we have any plans to make our military the best in world? No. Instead we are cutting it back. Do we have a goal to have the best high speed railroads? No. Do we have any plans to build or rebuild our broken interstate highways, our bridges, our subways, our heavy industries, our cities? Not anything significant. Our we really trying to become energy self-sufficient? Not really.
So what is wrong with our leaders? Are they too busy drawing up health plans, welfare plans, pork barrel spending, negotiating with terrorist states, new business killing free trade plans and regulations, fighting between each other over minor political disagreements? I am afraid so. We have lost sight of how America should be a great nation in all respects and be a good example to others. Our leaders cannot see the forest because they can only see a few trees! Wake up America! Lets get this country doing something meaningful and get back to work!
If you agree with me, write and call your Congressmen, and email me. Don't bother if you like the status quo.
