Chasing the American Dream We Lost the Dream of America

When did we abandon our watchful post keeping our eyes on liberty and setting our goals towards freedom. Too long our posts have been left empty. The people willing to shed their blood for freedom have too long ago died of old age and faded away. My country is left in left in shambles. We have lost democracy for a republic and the republic for an aristocracy. We have abandoned freedom for capitalism and now capitalism is threatened by socialism.

The democracy was dead long before it started and the republic gave us a good many years of service. But now that service is to those who can afford to line their pocket with gold. With the exception of a few the corruption is complete. The law makers work America as if she were a prostitute, pushing her out into the streets to pull more money into their pockets.

The latest prostitution gave birth to a bailout that no American wanted and two very interesting senators swapped their vote from nay to aye after they were bribed with donations for their campaigns. Is this what we elected them for? To obtain wealth and forward their careers at the expense of the people?

(just thought you would like to see the companies that could be running the country for the next four years.)

The media rushes to the aide of Americas attackers and no they are not the terrorist from 9/11, they are not Muslim radicals. They are not even of a different nationality, they are the people we trusted to defend and uphold her. Why should we have not trusted them, they swore this before God to us the people that they would perform these duties. We have been betrayed by every senator that has taken a bribe in form of donation or otherwise, any representative that has taken his own interests and career above ours, and any president that would use our military without just cause.

How did we stray so far from what was intended? Is there still hope to recover what was lost? I want to obtain the dream of America, the dream that set the pilgrims sailing across unsure seas and dream that our forefathers so eloquently stated in the declaration. That dream was freedom and it drove millions to the United States fleeing political and religious persecution all over the world. Have we awoke from the dream or awoke from a drugged sleep to find our freedoms stripped and our persecutors here on our own land disguised as one of us.

I hang my head in shame while I ponder how we got to the place we are now. But through my pondering and listening I have come to the following conclusion:

Our descent began with the industrial revolution. A series of attacks on farm life was needed to fill the factories and was successful. The most successful tactic was to encourage specialised farming. after this was accomplished it was a simple task to convince people that factory work was much more profitable and less mundane than farming. In this we lost our independence and soon to follow our happy family life. Our lives were segregated and unfulfilled.

The next step on our descent, now that were are dependant upon companies to fill our bellies, is to destroy our community. This was accomplished through government handouts and the devaluing of human life through government regulated teaching. The church lost its place as the provider of the community and now we are dependant upon the government.

Once we are intertwined with the government it was not a large task to eventually move forward to a more and more centralized government and economy. The greed continued until only a handful of companies remain who use their gains to influence the government to make their company more profitable.

Finally we are at a point in our country where we teeter on an economic collapse. The media is pushing along a presidential candidate that is energetic and passionate about changing the world. He is in favor of removing your rights to push forward the good of the community. If you haven't guessed yet, yes I am comparing Obama with Hitler. He is pushing this country towards socialism or possibly communism and I am afraid of who will be in the concentration camps this time.
