My daughter Cassandra, is extremely intelligent. Cassandra, in many ways is already smarter than her mother and I. Last night my wife acquired a new cell phone but could not easily figure out how how to use all of the new features that came with her new cell phone. Cassandra,figured out how to use the new phone in a matter of minutes and then she taught my wife and I how to use the new cellphone features.Cassandra is smarter than her mother and I at least in some ways but she is not always wise when it comes to making her own decisions. She recently decided to do her home work a little too close to her bed time and she fell asleep before she could finish her home work.Cassandra, will always be intelligent but her wisdom which is the proper use of intelligence, is not yet fully developed. I can conclude then that is what parents are for and therefore, her mother and I are still needed in her life.
Sometimes, I think Americans, have become in many ways like wayward or spoiled children and if Obama, is acting as the American peoples parent as it were, one must conclude Many Americans, may be intelligent but they do not always make wise decisions. If many Americans, are content to have Obama, be their parent in time they will discover Obama, is a permissive parent but he is not necessarily a wise one.Obama, is content to furnish entitlements and other social programs at no cost to many but at a great cost to working American taxpayers in this country and it seems that the number of working Americans, in this country is steadily decreasing.Many Americans, are not concerned with Americans growing debt. They follow the philosophy of Epicurus, a philosopher who lived from 341-270 BC. His Philosophy is well know even today.Epicureans, those who followed the philosophy of Epicurus, coined the now popular phase eat, drink, and be merry for tomorrow we die.Indeed, many in this nation seem content to live my this self centered philosophy that is until that ominous as yet unforeseen tomorrow when America, dies.Some, have suggested America, is slowly dying even now and I believe this is indeed the case.
Obama, is content to be perceived as a rock star complete with his own groupies. In the eyes of the media and the press he is seen as one who is to be worshiped as was indicated in his most recent press conference when Christie Parsons, a so called reporter for the Chicago Tribune, repeatedly congratulated the President, on his reelection while giving Obama,a softball question to answer thus, carefully avoiding any real issues like the economy, the debt,or Benghazi.Many Americans, are not concerned with these issues as long as their government check keeps on coming.Obama, does not have to be transparent as long as a majority of Americans, are content to let him serve as their parent.Many in America, are not concerned with the truth regarding any issue the nation may face as long as Obama, promises them that the government will meet their every need..I would give them this warning from Patrick Henry, he said the following;"The liberties of a people never were nor ever will be secure,when the transactions of their rulers may be concealed from them." President Dwight Eisenhower, gave these words of warning to Americans, when he said, "Every step we take toward making the state our caretaker of our lives, by that much we move towards making the state our master."
One need only study history, to know that every major civilization began to die the moment government was expected to do more for the people than the people were willing to do for themselves.In the last days of Rome, the people demanded more of everything but Rome's soldiers were too lazy to fight their own battles to secure the increasing amount of funds it was taking to pacify Rome's citizens and maintain control of Rome's empire. As a result Rome, began either paying Mercenaries to fight their battles for them or paid tribute to various barbarian leaders not to invade them and in the end, many of these same barbarians took control of Rome, and this lead to the fall of Rome's empire. America, may very well be in her last days and I often wonder when the government checks suddenly end and the eating, drinking, and making quite merry is done what will that ominous tomorrow be like the morning after America, dies. As always, my friends, these thoughts remain, just, some words, to think on.
