Every week I try to give you something to think about, something that you may not hear or see anywhere else. This week I hope you got your thinking caps on and are ready to really use them.

We all go about our business every day with the same thoughts the same goals and the same attitudes. I don’t mean we all have the same thoughts but at my age we are pretty stuck in our philosophies. When you’re young your philosophy may vary from day to day or week to week but as we grow older we become pretty stuck in our ways. We know in our hearts what is right and what is wrong for us and I find most people my age feel similar about things.

We are disgusted with the lack of morality in the country. We are looking for a leader with enough kahonies to straighten out what we feel is wrong with the world. We don’t understand how people could find fault with saying a prayer now and then. We wish they would get back to teaching the three R’s in schools and let the parents teach morals and sex education according to their beliefs. We want our politicians to work towards making our country a better place for us not all of mankind. We would like to see a Christmas tree in the courthouse or in the village square. We would like to hear the school choir singing carols like they used too.

We are not selfish or bigoted because we want what’s ours to remain ours. We worked hard our whole lives for what we have, only to watch it being slowly diminished just like our rights and freedoms are being diluted by the problem of illegal immigration and the politicians who would stand by and allow it to happen. I guess we just feel cheated because we trusted our government to protect and secure our future just as it has for generations.

We listen to politicians preach about change, change what? We’ve all heard that BS before many times and the only change we’ve ever gotten is more welfare for those who refuse to work and more freebee’s for the ones who use and abuse the system while we pay for their windfall. Do I sound bitter? I’m really not, it’s just that this country has always been the beacon for all who desire freedom and are willing to go through all the effort to come here legally just as my grandparents did and probably yours too. To see this country of ours diminished in any way is a form of torture for us.

America was built on the backs of poor immigrants who came here to make a better life. Nothing was handed to them in the form of free medical or free housing or even free food. This country was built by workers who took pride in their families and even more pride in their new country. Generations of these Great Americans have died while protecting our freedoms and to sit back and watch the greatness of this country slowly having the life sucked out of it so politicians can buy votes for re-election is too much to handle for most of us.

And that's my opinion,
