This Economic ressesion that we are in has revealed a sad change in Americans, during the Great Depression people blamed themselves for the fall of the economy, they tried all they could to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps, all or nothing type attitudes. The welfare that arose out of the terrible economic climate in that time was met with appreciation and as a chance to turn things around, today in America welfare is not met with appreciation but rather expectation. People expect the government to fix their problems right the wrongs that turbulent times have created.
It's time to get back to the nose to the grindstone-blue collar attitude that pulled this country to prominence, the never say die attitude that America is so well known for. Let's not lay down and expect the government to pick up the slack. Put away those credit cards, pick up a hammer and start fixin whats wrong, be a neighbor to someone in need, start creating communities again, unplug that ipod, turn off that cellphone, go outside see your neighbors, feel the sun, listen to the traffic or the ocean or the swiriling wind; watch fields of wheat dance in the wind, watch cars speed on by, watch children playing in the streets- Thats America-wake up the sleeping Giant that the Axis feared in WWII, the sleeping Giant of American courage, bravery, independence and community.
It's time to seek out hard work, put away the complaints, give the shirt off your back, and keep what matters close, stop thinking in dollars and cents, start thinking with a little heart and soul. Either in the concrete jungle or back out in the woods, it's time to remember who we are.
So raise a glass, pop a top, those who can give, give, those who can't, reach your hand up not out. In the end we're all in this together, better or worse, so let's take the burden back, let's be worthy and proud to be citizens of the United States of America.
Thats all I got this SanDiegan Morning, God Bless the USA, keep it simple, lifes not fair but sometimes it's not fair in your favor. O and as far as golden tounged socialists (there's been alot of em) that want to make everything fair for everyone, and take healthcare out of the private realm, well just go look at the constitution...http://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/constitution.overview.html
