I was born in the 60's and grew up in the 70's and 80's it was a wonderful time, the tv shows, the movies, the pulp culture was nothing like we experience today, even the music was better then. We had Hero's who stood up for America and fought for America and believed in America. Yes there are a few out there now who do, but not like then, our politics were different no one would dare disrespect the President the way they have the last few year, and the press was not so bias either.
We had military leaders that did not have college degrees that said they could lead but they had the battle scars that showed they had served and earned thier role as commanders. They were not afraid to take the fight to the enemy and shut them down. Where are our Charlton Hestons, John Waynes, Clint Eastwoods, Jimmy Stewarts, Lee Marvins, where are our John F. Kennedys. Dwight D.Eisenhouser, Teddy Roosevelts, or Ronald Reagans. Who will be the next Tommy Franks, or "Stormin'" Norman Schwartzcoff, or George S. Patton, who will look the enemy in the face and tell them we are going to blow you to hell and crush you like verman.
America needs a hero now more than ever, maybe in the smoldering ash of our once great society someone will rise and take the lead and bring us up along the way. Until then we need to strike down the posers who portray our heros and take thier bounty in the name of a free society, who love the very freedoms they have but do not want us to share in them, they want the money and the glory and the fame, but they take that second breathe and tell us how bad we are as a nation and how we screwed up the world.And laugh at us with other world leaders and tell how we stupid we are. People like George Clooney,Shawn Penn,Madonna,Barbara Striesend,Matt Dammon,Michael Moore,these are just a few names of those who have profited from your dollars,while making fun of you and the way you believe, the list goes on and there would not be enough room to write them all.
We need to as a society shut down people who are against the core of this Nation and we can only do that by hitting them financially, the same way we weaken China, or the Oil Nations, we do not give them our money. We find other products to buy, other peoples movies and shows and music to listen to, we buy fuel at stations that use american products, we do not go to Citgo and give Chavez our money, and we elect people to serve us that have our backs, not our walletts. You and I can be the Hero's until someone rises above the smoke and takes that lead. In 2009 we can make a difference, we have already brought fuel down from $4.25 a gallon to $1.65 a gallon by cutting back, if we can do this we can crush the Chinese economy and become the dominent force in the world economically again, we are 30% of Chinas GNP. That is astounding, we should be 3%, want a better product look to what is made in the States, I will spend a few cents more to keep my fellow Americans employed won't you. I do not want our jobs shipped overseas, I want to talk to an american when I have a problem with my phone or computer don't you?
Call on Congress, and the House of representitives to lower our taxes on business and to keep jobs here, it is not the fault of our companies that our Government has taxed them to death and forced them to move and keep competetive. Our Government is our biggest problem, they have stalled our economy, they have put us in the depression we are in, and they have run buisness out of the country and into the ground. Please be a Hero for your kids,and grandkids, for your family and your future family if you won't stand and fight for them who will?
I know I will.
