I typically delete email forwards. They are generally things I’ve read a hundred times and I don’t believe I will die or lose a million dollars if I refrain… However, their are certian folks and certain emails that I pay attention to… This is one and whether it is truly written by Jay Leno or not, it is worth a read. I have pasted it exactly as forwarded….
Jay Leno wrote this; it’s the Jay Leno we don’t often see….
As most of you know I am not a President Bush fan, nor have I ever been, but this is not about Bush, it is about us, as Americans, and it seems to hit the mark.
The other day I was reading Newsweek magazine and came across some Poll data I found rather hard to believe. It must be true given the source, right? The Newsweek poll alleges that 67 percent of Americans are unhappy with the direction the country is headed and 69 percent of the country is unhappy with the performance of the President. In essence 2/3 of the citizenry just ain’t happy and want a change. So being the knuckle dragger I am, I started thinking, ‘What are we so unhappy about?’
A. Is it that we have electricity and running water 24 hours a day, 7 Days a week?
B. Is our unhappiness the result of having air conditioning in the summer and heating in the winter?
C. Could it be that 95.4 percent of these unhappy folks have a job?
D. Maybe it is the ability to walk into a grocery store at any time and see more food in moments than Darfur has seen in the last year?
E. Maybe it is the ability to drive our cars and trucks from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean without having to present identification papers as we move through each state?
F. Or possibly the hundreds of clean and safe motels we would find along the way that can provide temporary shelter?
G. I guess having thousands of restaurants with varying cuisine from around the world is just not good enough either.
H. Or could it be that when we wreck our car, emergency workers show up and provide services to help all and even send a helicopter to take you to the hospital.
I.. Perhaps you are one of the 70 percent of Americans who own a home.
J.. You may be upset with knowing that in the unfortunate case of a fire, a group of trained firefighters will appear in moments and use top notch equipment to extinguish the flames, thus saving you, your family, and your belongings.
K. Or if, while at home watching one of your many flat screen TVs, a burglar or prowler intrudes, an officer equipped with a gun and a bullet-proof vest will come to defend you and your family against attack or loss.
L. This all in the backdrop of a neighborhood free of bombs or militias raping and pillaging the residents. Neighborhoods where 90% of teenagers own cell phones and computers.
M.. How about the complete religious, social and political freedoms we enjoy that are the envy of everyone in the world?
Maybe that is what has 67% of you folks unhappy.
Fact is, we are th e largest group of ungrateful, spoiled brats the world has ever seen. No wonder the world loves the U.S. , yet has a great disdain for its citizens. They see us for what we are. The most blessed people in the world who do nothing but complain about what we don’t have, and what we hate about the country instead of thanking the good Lord we live here.
I know, I know. What about the president who took us into war and has no plan to get us out? The president who has a measly 31 percent approval rating? Is this the same president who guided the nation in the dark days after 9/11? The president that cut taxes to bring an economy out of recession? Could this be the same guy who has been called every name in the book for succeeding in keeping all the spoiled ungrateful brats safe from terrorist attacks? The commander-in- chief of an all-volunteer army that is out there defending you and me?
Did you hear how bad the President is on the news or talk show? Did this news affect you so much, make you so unhappy you couldn’t take a look around for yourself and see all the good things and be glad? Think about it……are you upset at the President because he actually caused you personal pain OR is it because the ‘Media’ told you he was failing to kiss your sorry ungrateful behind every day. Make no mistake about it.
The troops in Iraq and Afghanistan have volunteered to serve, and in many cases may have died for your freedom. There is currently no draft in this country. They didn’t have to go. They are able to refuse to go and end up with either a ‘ ‘general’ discharge, an ‘other than honorable’ discharge or, worst case scenario, a’dishonorable’ discharge after a few days in the brig.
So why then the flat-out discontentment in the minds of 69 percent of Americans?
Say what you want but I blame it on the media. If it bleeds it leads and they specialize in bad news. Everybody will watch a car crash with blood and guts. How many will watch kids selling lemonade at the corner? The media knows this and media outlets are for-profit corporations.
They offer what sells, and when criticized, try to defend their actions by ‘justifying’ them in one way or another. Just ask why they tried to allow a murderer like O.J. Simpson to write a book about how he didn’t kill his wife, but if he did he would have done it this way……Insane!
Turn off the TV, burn Newsweek, and use the New York Times for the bottom of your bird cage. Then start being grateful for all we have as country. There is exponentially more good than bad. We are among the most blessed people on Earth and should thank God several times a day, or at least be thankful and appreciative.’ ‘With hurricanes, tornados, fires out of control, mud slides, flooding, severe thunderstorms tearing up the country from one end to another, and with the threat of bird flu and terrorist attacks, ‘Are we sure this is a good time to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance?’
Amen Jay Leno or whoever wrote this….
There can be little doubt what Barack Obama is….. The presumptive Democrat presidential candidate, otherwise know to lowly Americans as his Highness, Lord & Messiah Barack Obama, is a Liberal Elitist.
The Liberal Elite are a group of Americans that include in their radical agenda a true distain, a true hate for America, its traditions, its history, and its people & culture. They believe that America, as constituted, must be torn down and rebuilt in the vein of Socialistic Europe. To some this belief is public and unapologetic… To others it is apparent in their actions and political donations.
And now we have an incompetent example from the Left’s Lord and Savior, their messiah… Obama. In a speech a couple of days ago, The Most Merciful rattled on about the need for Americans to be bi-lingual. At one point he stated…
“It’s embarrassing when Europeans come over here, they all speak English, they speak French, they speak German. And then we go over to Europe and all we can say is merci beaucoup,”
The Most Merciful is stating his embarrassment over his fellow Americans!!!! The Democratic Presidential Candidate is embarrassed by the very citizens that he wants to elect him to the Chief Executive Office of the country! Couple this with fact that he thinks middle America is bitter, intolerant of those who are unlike them, and therefore cling to their religion and guns.
He is wildly out of touch with America. He understands what it is from his perspective and he doesn’t like it… And there are actually people who drive around with Obama stickers on their cars… That probably embarrasses BO to….
As I have said, America loses in this election no matter who is elected…. At least John McCain loves this country as it is…Well except for the Republican Party!
It’s a shame that our own media will not report stories like these…
July 4, 2008 marks the 232nd anniversary of the ratification and initial signing of the Declaration of Independence, a document that defined for an oppressive tyrannical government the right of self-government of the American people.
The brave men and women that sacrificed all to this calling are our forbearers. They were servants of the almighty that forged a great nation under the most challenging of circumstances. They fought not a revolution, but a war of independence that aimed to set forth, once and for all, a nation where the best and worst of man can truly be achieved. Their actions were God directed, their results were God determined.
The America of today looks much different than the colonial environment of the 1770’s. I do not speak of the wagons, the muddy streets, the candle-lit rooms… I speak of a stark difference in the populace of today versus the libertarians of that day… Today, America is infested with a group of people who throw away our liberty on a daily basis… They are “victims” that are perpetually wronged by society. They must have their livelihood and their existence in some way subsidized by the government. This is not liberty that they live… it is socialistic entropy.
The American citizenry has no concept of what liberty is… The think it the ability to buy video games, eat McDonalds Hamburgers, and drink heavily on the 4th of July. They further think it means the right to low gas prices, to welfare, and basically to anything their heart desires…
This is not Liberty. Liberty is the complete freedom to self-determine your destiny. It is the right to worship God, to make what success you can derive, to fail, to succeed, to love, to hate, to socialize, to retract… It is the basic right of your existence to do whatever you wish within the limits of the law. That is freedom, that is liberty.
Liberty means that the hungry might be hungry. Liberty means that the sick might be sick. The world is not a nice place where everyone takes care of everyone. One can give up Liberty in place of protection. One can give up freedom for government assurances. One can placat their believes to conform to society. That one is not free, they are slave. Freedom is the God given right to make of your life what is humanly and divenly possible. A free person does not expect welfare. A free person does not expect a President to wipe their butt and provide them food, shelter, clothing, and healthcare.
Our forebarers gave the last, best measure of themselves to the idea that men are free… That they are given by God, the right to live and die as they determine. Pray not for the success of welfare, pray for the success of freedom and human dignity. Never forget the words of John Adams… “Liberty must at all hazards be supported. We have a right to it, derived from our Maker. But if we had not, our fathers have earned and bought it for us, at the expense of their ease, their estates, their pleasure, and their blood.”
Let’s us never forget the words of our sacred document of freedom…
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security.
Hear my prayer oh God…. Thank you my heavenly father for the gift of freedom. Thank you for the United States of America and the light of freedom it is in this world. Thank you almighty God for freedom. Thank you for the ability to be charitable and to help our common man… Thank you for salvation and free will.
Happy Independence Day and God Bless America.
