People are burning down their own cities and attacking police officers over perceived threats, this is the mark of an angry society and no one has asked why we (by that I mean all citizens not any specific color) are so angry. It may be due to a President who was supposed to bring us transparency has really clouded the citizens ability to see what the government is doing, it may be because 20 years ago we were much better off and we know it and do not understand why no one is fixing things, it may be because we can no longer take care of basic issues in our own homes as schools are dictating to us how to raise our children and the government seems more interested in the chaos then keeping the peace or it may be because each day we wake up a little more of our country is drowning in debt.
I personally believe it is all of the above and more. We as a people no longer trust each other or our government, we no longer interact with each other on a positive level and we no longer believe the government is working to do its job and protect our civil liberties. We watch each day as our police departments turn into military stations and our schools dictate to us how to raise our children, hell the government is even telling us how to worship God these days and when and where we can speak about religion. We have become an angry country, not because it is our nature, no but because our true nature is being suppressed by a government who is telling us they know better.
Our politicians are inciting riots and listening to race baiters and they call that progress, in reality the day we finally realize race makes no difference at all we will have made progress, the day we work together to find solutions to our problems we will have made progress but for a President who talks to the people burning down our communities and then does nothing to curb national debt or spying on citizens is not progress it is a step toward the socialist ideals of the once soviet union, which I might remind you failed. Our government has sold much of our debt to another communist nation, China, and helped turn that nation into a financial giant at our expense, a nation who quells its protestors through violence and death and our government is now accepting the communist nation of Cuba as a viable government, a government who just a single day later killed refugees on boats trying to leave their nation.
Our government has become the lie, our government has become the problem, not because of our previous ideals which in some cases were misguided but because we have forgotten that we are a nation built on personal liberty not government assistance or government control. On the second day of Christmas I give to you the truth; our nation is no longer a nation of freedom we are now a nation of slaves and our own government has created our slavery in the hopes they will be the masters.
