Okay, first of all let me say, welcome to the first post of this new blog. I will be covering topics concerning the FULL scope of ETHICAL decision making based on using a moral compass to do "the right thing", which I find not to be at all subjective. If we are ALL guided by the same moral compass, I believe our world as a whole may well have a CHANC
I got to thinking this Fourth of July: what do we actually have to celebrate? A president that's outwardly declared himself a socialist and manufactured now two crisis for the backdoor politicians and backstabbing corporations involved? If you're clueless on what I speak of, you've either been living under a rock or just don't pay much attention to our modern society. I am merely a concerned citizen, but I am also a full-blown patriot that believes in the Founders' principles and believes that our constitution has done the impossible through the course of history. And now for quite some time it has been torn to shreds by politicians, insane radicals, and other countries that don't like us very much, and want us out of the picture as a superpower.
How did we let these greasy jerks into office in the first place? We became ignorant. We looked the other way and flung up our noses in the air when politics was involved (when we clearly should have done the opposite). Oh, there were some of my fellow concerned Americans that didn't buy into it and wanted the founders to be the standard again, but until recently, this movement remained fairly unannounced and certainly didn't try to threaten the powers that be into fear for their careers effectively, else our current situation simply would not be.
So I ask again: WHAT is the point of celebrating a broken country on the Fourth of July? I'm as patriotic as anyone, but instead of shooting up fireworks this 4th, I believe there should really be shootings of another kind going on. Shootings of video from the media detailing every little back alley deal they can get their hands on.
Sadly, it will never happen. Our media has patheticly given into the socialist act, as well, believing it would benefit them in the long run. Or perhaps they were bought out. The details will become clear when the dust settles and history is rewritten by the patriots of our own country rather than radical leftists that generally wrote our history books and took out "One nation, under God."
A bit about that last statement. I'm an atheist. So why would I be so up in arms about that previous statement? For one thing, this is a free country, and the founders INTENDED religion be integrated in our schools and respected, by the very words of the Constitution itself, and many of its signers. I will not argue with their reasoning, for while I do not condone "One Nation, Under God," simply because of my personal views, I cannot deny the fact that we should clearly be at liberty to make the choice for ourselves whether we want it there or not.
Damn the consequences, it SHOULD be there, because the founders were not only trying to induce a healthy amount of respect for our creator(s, whoever they may have been), but also a healthy dose of discipline in them, which has been proven to work in every society from the ancient Greeks to the modern militias of the world (and yes, I have many friends and even family who've gone or desire to serve in uniform, and it is a society all its own, and one that you never really come out of). The founders were of many various conflicting religions, even a few that had no religion, but they all agreed upon one thing: we should be a nation that has respect and disciplines itself out of respect for whatever almighty there is or might have been. After all, whoever it was put us here, it could just as easily take away all we hold dear. I'd say that's worth showing respect for. The semantics of the statement can be argued until the Earth's oceans run dry but the fact remains that they were referring to the creator with a capital G, which means complete and utter respect.
And now, the politicians have been for ages playing God with our lives, and I for one and utterly sick of it. The BP oil spill should have never happened. If it weren't for special interests, we'd likely no longer be driven gasoline-powered cars, and probably wouldn't have been for about 10 years now. And yet we keep lining the foreigners pockets with a hefty sum of money that should be going to the development of new technologies.
Now wait, let's back up and examine that statement. I'm a proponent of science. What has science actually been doing about the oil problem? They're sort of stymied, actually. Obama has put a moratorium on off-shore drilling no company wants to go near. Now granted the courts have overruled it, but still no company in their right mind dares. That is clearly an attempt to create a crisis and one of the main reasons that caused the spill, indirectly (thanks to the economical laws of supply and demand which put too much pressure on these companies to begin with). Obviously there was foul play on both sides, and both sides are extremely greedy. I don't condone the ridiculously horrid acts that take place between these two sides. But I have to say that one side is definitely not helping the other, and neither side really likes each other (except when putting money in the other's pocket). So there, we must say both sides are obviously at fault in their own ways.
Before I continue onto this next statement, you should be aware that while I am on SSI for right now, I absolutely despise welfare of any kind. If I could, I would get rid of it. But once again, the government regulates the drugs, and so the big drugs companies just love it when people are on Medicare part D (which I was put on against my will and unknowingly for several years), and my state's Medicaid is somehow there as well. Therefore, my ADHD, Asperger's Syndrome, and hypothyroidism do not allow me to be independent of the government's funding. And I don't see any charities pulling out that cause, as should be. Not any that are trustworthy, at the least. So I'm stuck with it with not much I can do.
I would love to be completely independent of that which I think is absolutely killing me to be around/on. SSI, for one, has been a thorn in my side for three and a half years too long. I want off the damn system. There's only one problem. My medications won't allow me to work a job of the level that would allow this yet. My ultimate plan is to start a computer business selling high quality professionally built computers, without the hassle of corporations like Shitway... err... Gateway, and Hell... err... Dell (oh, and lest I forget, Holy-shit-it-runs-slow Packard... err... Hewlett Packard), just to name a few big ones. This last statement should give you a general idea of my strong distaste and distrust when concerning these bastard manufacturers. And I want to do it for all incomes and walks of life (note: I AM a gamer. I know performance). At my current place, this will take some time to accomplish, thanks to their evil design.
A few closing thought before I wrap this up.
I must say that while the system has a hold of us, it's not completely hopeless. But we still have until November to determine the fate of our nation, by spreading awareness. After that, it's ground zero all over again. Either they'll rig the elections to save their own sorry asses, or they won't. If they don't, we get these jerks out of office and work the system back to the way the people, and not the poloticians, want it to be.
If they DO cheat the system... sorry to say, mainly to my mentor on many levels (Glenn Beck), but revolution will be the order of the day at that point, whether you like it or not. Because what else will work? The people won't know what else they can do besides revolt against the system, in hopefully the least bloody and violent revolution ever staged. And with all hope, we'll have the aid of our US military turning on its own ruling body to protect the constitution of the united states and her people, as per their mutually sworn oath to do so, and have sworn they'd pretty well be on our side, for better or worse, whether they like it or not.
I've had a gut feeling, most all of my life- I was born to do something big. I in all honesty hope that it has something to do with the events that will unfold in these next few years (and far longer into it), that I can be of MAJOR service to all Americans in some way. In order to do to the best of my ability what I now feel has become a clear and solid calling in my life (and bear in mind, I am not religious, and anyone can have a calling without a relgion), I must keep an open mind, without question, and generate my own ideas on what this "new world order" should constitute.
(note: I am NOT using "new world order" in the same context as our sworn enemies as constitutionally responsible citizens, since I want only the best for my country's citizens, and those abroad, and anyone who reads this blog article and interprets it as it was intended will clearly see I desire only to do good for my country.
