Month: August 2021

In the United States of America, we have a president. Do we support them? Not as of late.

This is not about a side or a party it is about the USA and we the people. I remember a time when we supported the office no matter if we agreed with what the office holder had to say, what about or how he said it. He was the president and we stood behind him and the office.

Some of these guys (so far) have been great and some not so great. But we supported them. Now if one side gets in office the other side almost all will not support him. Some will say things like “he’s not my president”. Bullshit I say. He is and will be for his term. We should give him all the help we can from both “sides” of the fence. After all it is our country and we need to be UNITED. Remember that? United we stand Divided we fall. Well spoken words. I think a guy named Patrick Henry was one of the more prominent to say it in 1799. It has been said many many times and is really true.

We are a divided country right now and we need to get our shit together and get back to basics. Love thy neighbor, stand up for what is right. Realize we are one people and make the very best of what we have to work with.

He is my president and I will give him every chance I can to do well. Even if I don’t like him or what he is doing. Whoever he is at the time.

Nuff said I think.

So what doe that mean? Illegal immigrants?

What it means to me is a foreigner comes into our country, or any other for that matter, not following the laws of the country they are entering.

We have all kinds of laws. As other countries do. Laws that say you can’t steal from a store, Drive faster than the speed limit. etc. etc. If I break one of the laws I get in trouble with the police. I pay the price. Might be a ticket or worse depending on the crime. But if I commit a crime I have to pay the price if I get caught.

So Illegal immigrants are doing this. And their is a lot of them. They do get caught well some do, and nothing happens to them mostly. We pay their way giving them food, heath care, shelter etc. Hell if the homeless people that are citizens here need help we don’t do much for them. But hey break the law and come here illegally and we take care of you.

Why do we have to try and take care of the homeless when we don’t take care of our own?

I’m trying not to put blame on any group of people but it is hard not to.

 

Why doesn’t everyone think like me? I know I’m right. Why doesn’t everyone else?

Is this what we have become? There are two or three or four sides to everything. Every thought, every action, every feeling, everything. We should all respect each other no matter what we think and they think. After all I don’t think I am God. Or you are for that matter. So why are we so stubborn in our beliefs?

Whos to say this administration is right and the last one was wrong. Whos to say the last administration was right and this one is wrong? I have my views on the subject but I’d like to know yours too. Maybe you are right. Maybe I am! When you get honest with yourself history will be the judge. Not us not now.

I just had my 70th birthday and my whole life I have felt if we could harness the good in everyone WOW would this place be something. Think about it. The USA has some wonderful minds, as does Russia, and China, and Spain, Italy and on and on. Imagine putting all these people together for the good of all of us.

Pipe dream? Maybe but it is my dream to have all these great minds working on issues that effect us all. Is the e or a. I told you I don’t spell well. Get over it.

Anyway that’s my thoughts for today. Have a great day my friends and remember to realize you might be wrong or they might be right.

I don’t know about you but I and most of my generations including before me were brought up with the idea that if you want to survive you will need to work. That became a way of life for us. It seems now this has changed and people ypung and old no longer want to take care of themselves and work for their needs and wants.

I guess I saw this coming through the years with all the handouts the governments have given out. Welfare, food stamps, plain old money all for not working. Now I know some people are truly in need. They may not be able to work, for many reasons and I don’t think we should stop helping them. BUT they are few a far between.

It’s time people got a grip and helped themselves again. Not rely on the government to bail them out and stop having so many children just to get more money. Get a job there are many out there. Get use to taking care of yourself and your families you will experience a satisfaction that can’t be had without it.

Socialism is not an answer I want to experience and I’m sure you that do not want to help yourselves will like if we allow this to happen.

Step up, take control of you lives. Get a job. Work for what you like and need. We will all be better off.
