Look into the Voice of Common Sense

I was going to just not comment, but I had to as a patriot of this republic. Some of you have the audacity to talk about the President and congress the way you do. You forget you supported a President who lied to the American people and took us to a war which he willfully knowing there was no WMD's. The Cost: our Blood and our Treasure. Now those within a certain part of a political party is holding 300 millions Americans hostage and all fault of there making are holding the entire world as well. 

You can hate the President all you want for whatever nonsensical or righteous indignation you may have. But don't be crying about the debt or anything else when it was the GOP who shutdown the Government.  It was the GOP who got us in debt and was behind the GREAT Recession.  It was the GOP who brought us here time and time again. An it was their Right Wing Nut Jobs (RWNJS)  who brought the battle flag of those traitors who attempted to secede from this Union to the White House. How Dare you!

Please understand we all have the right to free speech in whatever way shape or form. But if you are going to exercise that right don't be stupid and ignorant. Read true history not it's rewrite.Understand that we are moving forward and the past is the past.

We can't undone the past but we can make our future better.  So if you want to impeach anyone, impeach yourself and those of your ilk. You bear ill will towards this Republic and it citizens. This is beyond creed, religion, sex, nationality, orientation  it comes down to ARE A CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES or ARE YOU NOT?

Look inside yourself and answer that... May God Bless these UNITED States and all of her citizens in this troubling times

What are they taking back? Their "American Dream?"

For almost two years I have heard from the quarters of the GOP and their supporters that they want to take their country back.  They want to take America back! But the question that my cohorts (the American republic) and I always ask is from who and what?  The newest answer is from the socialist elite Nazi guy that the majority Americans voted for and his democratic Chicago thugs you want to tax and spend.  The people who are lazy and want everything given to them. Or better yet to quote one GOP Presidential Nominee, "they need to get a job and take a bath".

But one must wonder really how we got here to this place of discord and malfunction.  How this republic has allowed the mundane to become the battles of punditry, ignorance and just the plain lack of common sense. For one thing what are they really taking back? America of the 1930's, or the 40's or even the 50's? Before we minorities, women, disable rose up for equal rights and protection under the laws of this land. Or for a nostalgic time of where the President of the United States was of a suitable color shade of white. Or before the unions and workforce demanded equal pay, health benefits and the right to organize.  What America are they back?  Mitt Romney stated in his victory speech in New Hampshire that one of his goals is to take America back from some sort of occupier or invasion force.

If memory serves me right at the dawn of the 21st century the GOP was given the to the Kingdom by the highest court in the land. Yes, it was flawed but it was righted and pushing towards a hopeful balance.  Then of course 9/11 happened and then the Afghan War, and they we were tricked into the Iraq war.  We fell apart yet the GOP were the captains of the ship and they sure did pillage us blind.  By the time we all woke up from the dream it was too late the economy was taking and we were facing our Twilight.

Then came to Barrack Obama with his message of hope and change. An we all ate it up by the handful failing to realize that they are nice words to say but getting something done is a whole other matter.  The road blocks in front of him as well as this Republic were vast and require more patience then the lot of us had.  That lack of patience allow a change of course and brought an element of uncertainty.   Yes, we are divided and yes the idea of the "American Dream" is on life support. An yes there is darkness out there and it is vast and ever changing but we are the light and if we don't stand now, we might as not stand at all forever. 

They are wanting to take back everything that is and has become the America of today.  They are wanting to break unions, remove rights to vote, stop the voices of the many, and literally in some cases "bleach" us out.  They want the power of what was then where the few ruled the many and the many cowered in fear from the police, the dogs and water hoses. They want that a woman should be seen but not heard, where brown, black and yellow are silent and know their place.  Where the "American Dream" is only for them whomever them is, yet not see the truth of the matter.  We have been pillaged and plundered for our blood, our treasure and our dreams.  We are the American Republic and we cannot and will not stand by, because if we do it is all lost.

The Twilight of The American Republic

The Twilight of The American Republic: An American Essay by an American Citizen

By Kwame Afriyie

 written in 2005

We may fall this very night, we may ride history into our end.  But we will face the twilight as prideful people.  For we are citizens of a great nation, that is now in its twilight.  May the fates watch over us in our fight.  May the almighty guide us in our fight to save us from ourselves.  There is a saying, “That the prideful will fall, the grateful will be forgiven.”

We are the cusp of what may be greatest nightmare or our greatest challenge.  No matter what path we choose, our fates are locked into the fight for our future.  Our souls may be at stake for those who chose to wear their faith on their arms, while we wear our faith where it should be wore, our hearts.  God blessed us with the greatest gift in the known universe, “Free Will.”

That is the difference between us all, on how we use that gift.  Are we all sheep or do we decide choose our own destiny?  Fortune may favor those in power at this time, but time and patience will always favor those who are not.  Yes, we may be the mighty and we may be the powerful but we are also the lost.  If fate foretold that our democracy was to fall into the hands of zealots, and then our walk into the twilight should humble us.  History has shuddered at what has occurred in what was the world’s greatest democracy.  But what will be recorded is how this democracy fell to theocrats and the demise of personal responsibility.

If faith were meant to be use as a form of government then the founders of this nation, would have made it so.  There are thresholds that we can run up against but should never be crossed.  There are things that should never be use against a person or tactics to be use against us all.  We are great, and we hope to be greater.  But if the world no longer trusts us, or hold us in high regard.  Then our war will be with the world and if that does come to being, we will stand-alone.  This is our twilight; this is our fall.  If where you stand for what make us great than where you fall for who you know and what you want.  Then we still have a chance.  We still have a chance to stop the twilight of a great nation.  In Exodus it says,” Let onto Cesar, what is Cesar’s; and Let onto God, what is God’s.”
