Bleeding America Dry

In our country, different states are arguing about water rights. Corporations and companies use up the water supply and disperse chemicals into it. Farmers need it but they also help destroy it with chemicals. Corporate hog farms dump feces into it.
Our food used to be grown in our own country. Now we import most of it from other countries.
It is the same with other products. We no longer manufacture much of anything of importance. Foreign companies have bought and own most of our plants and operate them but send the money to their country.
Our big companies have moved their plants to other countries to increase their profits. They hire workers very cheap and do not pay any benefits. Then they import these products to our country. Do we see a cheaper price because of this? No, prices never dropped. But corporate earning skyrocketed. They keep increasing the price of these goods, not to compensate for their investments, but to increase their profits and stock increase the value of their stocks. The stock market keeps closing at historical record highs. This benefits the rich, the stockholders, corporations, and foreign investors. However, it is killing the American middle class who have to pay for these profits.
Bush was talking about how good the economy is, how many jobs have been created, and just how hunky dory things are, under his administration.
That is horseshit. We have hungry people in our own country. The rich are richer, but the poor are poorer, and the middle class in struggling to make ends meet while they support the rich.
I am lucky. I work everyday in a profession that I have always loved. I also earn good money; at least to me it is good money. I suppose it would be a joke to some of our politicians. However, I am in debt also and I give up much of it to provide the government their pork and to support these criminals that run things, not to mention all these other countries thatwe bribe.
Recently, bush vetoed a bill to provide healthcare for poor children. Why did he do that? I would be glad that some of the money they steal from me goes to something useful. But immediately after, he promises billions of dollars to Afghanistan.
Our government supports the world. That means that we, the citizen are supporting the world. Bush, congress, corporate America do not support anyone. They take and redistribute. That is all they do.
Food and Water are the great equalizers. Around the world, people in poorer nations realize and fight this problem every day. Some starve and some die of thirst. That is terrible, but it is the way of things. I used to live on Lake Lanier in Georgia in the 1990s. It was very large and very pretty. I loved it. This morning I saw some pictures on TV of it. They are projecting that in 3 months it will be dry. How did that happen?
In the future, I see thirst and hunger spreading worldwide. Hmmm, guess the future is here, we do not see it in America yet as much yet.
What will cause more wars than oil though, is water. Without oil, things would change so drastically; without water, we die quickly.
Most of our food comes from countries that do not have regulations on what is safe or clean. By watching the news you can see that. We cannot control how they produce or store that food. We do have laws regulating imports. But the corporations have convinced the government from holding off on enforcing them. That is not a guess on my part, it is a fact. They are not scheduled for enforcement until next year. What’s with that? I guess that would hurt their pocket book.
I am 57 years old; I survived the 60s, Viet Nam, and my own stupidity. However, I can see that myself and the rest of you will not survive the idiots we have running the government and the corporations that milk us for as much as they thing they can get.
My children and my grandchildren will have to tolerate a level of existence that I never had to experience.
I am sorry kids, I did not know when I was younger, and I do not know what to do now.
All I have is a vote, and that is not enough.

Is the United States Doomed?

I should not have turned on the news tonight. In Texas, there is a killer of two girls on death row. He is scheduled for execution. The problem some people see is that he is a Mexican illegal alien. The U.N. world court has said that we cannot do this and bush seems to agree and want to follow the ruling of the world court!??
The world court in my opinion has no say about anything in my country. We are a sovereign nation with our own laws. Once we give those up to the world court or any other international body then we are defunct as a nation. We will be just another member of the U.N., when in fact, it would not exist if not for us.
For bush to support this idea is tantamount to treason. I do not mean a hand slapping treason, but the kind of treason that should put him in a noose.
No matter what the liberals and the corporate world want, we are a separate nation. We are not one of their assets.
Over 200 years ago, we fought a war with Britain for our independence. The constitution was conceived under God to protect the citizens of the United States from a tyrannical government that wants to take our rights and dilute what America means. Since then, thousands of Americans have fought and died for this country and to keep us free. Bush slaps the face of every American that was ever born.
At what point and how far will Americans go to take back our country. Our enemy seems not to be overseas. Our most dangerous enemy is in this country.
One thing is for sure. I do not recognize the world court or any other foreign governing body as any kind of regulating agency in my country. I will not give up guns. I will not be “politically correct” because someone gets upset. I will not cow to Islam. I will not give up the America I know, just because some moron in this country or somewhere else believes they can do better.
I took an oath years ago when I went into the army to defend the constitution of the United States from its’ enemies whether foreign or domestic. There was not any length of time for it nor did I ever take an “unoath”. I took that oath just like thousands of other Americans. In fact, congress and the president took similar oaths, obviously, they did not mean it.
We do not control our borders and have no idea who is coming here, in New York they want to give illegal aliens drivers licenses, the state of Kalifornia seems to believe they know better than anyone else in the country by not following the laws. In the news we have people all over the country arguing and marching for their own special ideal. What all these people do not seem to realize is that our contry itself is in jeapardy. Once that is "reshaped" to fit the mold that many other countries and traitors seem to want, then they will not have the right to protest the way they do.
