What time are we going to get our nation back?

By: D C Graham

I wonder if everyone is as pissed-off as I am about the Federal Government of the United States. There is no one in government that has the least bit of good, common horse sense. The nation is on the edge of financial collapse and in spite of that, these morons in Washington keep throwing tons and tons of capital into a war that can not be won. In addition, we are seeing huge numbers of American war wounded with injuries that is heart breaking that the "lucky" ones will have to live with for life. The unlucky ones are dead and their families will grieve their death the balance of their lives. We are going through this for what? You would assume the country we live in would be better than this. Regrettably, it isn't.

Back in "our" own nation, the states and cities are crumbling from lack of cash. The Federal Government is spending the money generally sent back to these existences to fight these worthless wars. Instead of having money to fund education, pay for police and fire protection, care for the children and elderly, billions are being thrown away by murdering innocent civilians as well as killing confirmed enemies of the United States. Nearly all of the people in the two countries we are warring in care little to nothing which criminal government is in control of their country, their concern is in living and feeding themselves. Nearly all are apolitical and know they have no influence over anything but their daily living. At present, that has been disrupted by the United States war struggle of nation building. Nation building used to be also known as colonialism but that label fell from use.

What is required is someone, a group, a new party, anything or anyone that will step up to the plate and put America, and Americans, foremost. We have had enough of excuses, of "we just can't walk away," "there will be a blood-bath," "we have to win," and a dozen other justifications that keeps the military/industrial complex running the country. Just get the hell out! We did it in Vietnam, and they did okay but it was the very same tired old BS in that war.

History, even contemporary history, has proven there can be nothing called winning in Afghanistan. We are struggling with an enemy we armed against the Russians, who waged war for ten years and ultimately gave up and departed. That will be our eventual outcome but how long will it be before the people of this country demand it? How many more war dead, how many more thousands wounded, how many more billions wasted, how many more local governments bankrupt, how many more of our citizens killed and raped because of lack of police protection, how many more homes and businesses burned to the ground because of fire station closings? It's not a pretty scene when our streets and boulevards have knee high weeds because of budget cutbacks, streets with potholes, or patched potholes where there should be new pavement, empty storefronts where thriving businesses were once, bus service curtailed creating further difficulties on people already at the bottom of the financial ladder.

It is a pathetic sight. It hurts to think about it. It's depressing and anger causing. It's all because the wretched people we hire to represent us lie to us as to what they assert they will do if we elect them. Liars all. Everyone of them. Their concern is only in themselves and the persons they call associates. There are eleven thousand lobbyists in Washington, DC and their briefcases are loaded with money to buy anything they want. We, the people, haven't a chance. Nothing is going to get better for us and nothing is going to change for our politicians and bureaucrats except get better. That disparity increases every day. It will change, some day, either by revolution or those people living the good life, politicians, bureaucrats and the businesses that buy them, conclude their lifestyle cannot be sustained. I'll leave it to you to predict which one will happen. I hope I am around when it changes.
