My goal here is to do what I can to correct this problem and offer a more historically accurate perspective on America, and hopefully enlighten a few minds as to the true nature of what is currently going on in this country. You should know that I am a cynic. I view human nature at its base components as a self sustaining trinity of greed, power, and ego. We are all subject to these forces to one extent or another and I am mentioning this so that you will keep it in mind while reading my blog. This one principle explains a great deal of the control being exerted over the American people. As a cynic I am disinclined to believe anything that the media tells us, and as a result I have become quite adept at researching a topic on my own. I no longer watch television, and I do not listen to political pundits or talking heads nor do I claim any political party as my own. Unfortunately, however, I do need to get news from somewhere. This means I have to get it online. It is still biased, inaccurate, and sensationalized, but I don't have to sit through brainless corporate bombardments in addition to all of that nonsense.
I have an agenda of my own. I want my country back! I have had the opportunity to work with and get to know many individuals from foreign countries and gain their perspective on our nation as a whole. Where we were once revered we are now mocked, the American people as a whole are viewed as an irrelevant punch line. It is my hope that with this blog I can continue to educate myself and others as to why this is, how it has come about, and how we can correct the complacent mentality that has lead us to this point.
I will post links for verification where I am able. If these links cease to function please let me know so I can remove them and hopefully replace them with similar information. Understand that as we go along I am answering these issues and questions for myself as well. So should you find my information in error, please tell me so I may either correct my information or you.
I welcome differing opinions. Healthy, respectful debate was once a staple in this great land and I would dearly love to see it return. I will not, however, tolerate hateful or abusive comments. We can passionately disagree all day long, but in the end our commentary needs to be constructive and respectful. At the end of the day we are all brothers and sisters in this country, and it's well past time for us to remember that and put it to practice.
So once again, welcome. Hopefully we can all learn from each other and begin to collectively return this country to a more honorable and purposeful path.
P.S. If you are easily offended or have an otherwise strong sense of social justice, please be sure to visit my page on political correctness first. It will explain my views on the p.c. movement and why I use some terms (that maybe deemed offensive by some) the way I do.
