This Is Not My America.

What does America need to right itself?
Answer: An end to this "political correctness."
We real Americans are sick and tired of tip-toeing around these left-wing wet noodles who bow down to every small interest group with an axe to grind.
 I get it, some bad apples do spoil the whole bunch, but, come on. Shouldn't we be trying to weed out the bad apples instead of throwing the whole bushel away.Why should we let the minority of the population have the loudest voice. Wasn't this country based on majority rule?
 Don't get me wrong I know prejudice exists, but remember it goes both ways. Black people hate white people too. It's not a secret. They feel slighted by the white man. What they won't tell you is slavery was around way before black people landed here on American soil. As a matter of fact the English and Dutch traded more white slaves than black slaves many years before the first black slaves arrived in Europe. The tribes of Africa would make the conquered tribes the slaves of the winning tribe. Yet not one black person will acknowledge this fact. Hell, it happens to this day.
 The sins of omission. The blacks will blame white people for their problems, yet the Irish, Chinese, Italians, and Germans all lived in ghettos in America. Fact is "ghetto" is an Italian word. Look it up.
Something goes sideways in a black community, they riot, loot, and burn down their own neighborhood. Then the press moves in. They start pointing fingers, adding fuel to the fire.
 Same thing happens in a low class white community, they rally together for a candlelight vigil.No shops robbed, no burning buildings, no cars tipped over, just people coming together for a cause.
 So why is it that people whom act like animals suddenly become the victim?
I'm tired of "white guilt". I never owned a slave.
 I've worked for minimum wage most of my adult life. I made it work. I didn't get assistance from the state or federal government. Most of my life I've been a slave to corporate America. You don't see me robbing businesses, burning cars, or shooting cops. You want to find the person who is holding you back, look in the mirror. Don't blame others for your short comings, take responsibility for your own actions. Like my grandfather always said " the world needs ditch diggers too."
Not every one can be Donald Trump, not everyone can be rich. Some of us are better suited to work for the rich in order to make the rich, richer. If everyone had the skills to be a millionaire, we all would live in huge homes. It takes all types of people to make a country great, it has nothing to do with race, it has everything to do with skills and there ability for you to draw a paycheck.
It's not a black and white thing. It's a " I want to make America great" thing. Accept who you are, own it, be the best "ditch digger" you can be. Have pride in what you do, if not for yourself, for your country.  

My Opinion, That Is All!!!!!

I was going to sit down and write some clever diatribe about the state of the world and how down right depressing it is. I've been wracking my brain trying to come up with something that could put a positive spin on our obsession with the negative side of living, but I just can't bring myself to do it. The following is verbatim how I feel about the actions of most Americans today,  if you don't like it, tough, life isn't a spectator sport. Get off your ass and do something to change your way of life positively. That way you won't be getting angry at my opinions, you'll be too busy healing the world to care.

First off people like Glen Beck shouldn't be allowed near a microphone when voicing their opinions. These gutless loudmouthed jerks have nothing to say positive about our world or how to repair it. I have an idea for Glen, instead of running off at the mouth why don't you focus your energy on helping us reach an accord so all people can live on this planet on harmony. Either be part of the solution or stay in your little hate filled corner and leave us believers in a better tomorrow alone. I know all about the first amendment, but I just don't believe people should weld it like a club to bash the snot out of people they don't understand. Try a little compassion, it goes a long way in healing those who seem to be outcasts. Him comparing a group of murdered young political ideologists to "Hitler's Youth" is not only tasteless but a clear and contrite picture of why the rest of the world hates us. Glen Beck is a parasite and should be treated as such. Hey Glen I have two words for you "Shut Up!!!". Whatever happened to "if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all?"
My mom would wash your mouth out with soap and put you in the corner.

"A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life."  That was Charles Darwin. He knew the value of an unwasted life. The man barely slept. He did a lot of good as far as biology is concerned. Lets examine what a wasted life is. Amy Winehouse is a wasted life. Kurt Cobain is a wasted life. They both committed suicide, one by shotgun, the other by drugs. To me it's sad, both left grieving people (family members and fans alike), to ask the question why. They should not be deified, but held as flawed humans. Both had been offered help and refused believing they were right. Sad.
The majority of people in this country seem to have some Shakespearean  reverence for  actors and musicians who die young from self indulgence, so wrong. They are humans, people who chose the cowards way out. There is nothing cool about that. Why worship at the alter of a coward when an almighty God calls to you.

You want an answer, I'll give you an answer, go to Church. You want a better life, worship a God that is all loving and wants you to do well. God wants you to be successful, He just wants you to acknowledge that it was He who helped you achieve your goals, nothing more. Is it that hard to realize that you aren't in control, maybe you should get off your high horse and realize you can't do it alone. I don't know you, but as a Christian I want you to be successful. In this "dog eat dog" world I know that my statement isn't cool but, I do wish all well. I want the world to heal. I want all of us to learn tolerance and humility in the face of God. We can all come together under the flag of God's justice. We must learn to love one another as God's children, not hate those who don't think like us. Understanding is a powerful tool, tolerance is a powerful tool, God is a powerful tool.  This is God's world not ours, maybe it's time to treat it as such.
