The average American need not hold an economics degree to realize that America’s business complex must remain in America in order for our Country and her people to prosper and benefit. Furthermore, this is such sound reasoning that it’s merely common sense to all, including our CEO’s!
Using this understanding as our guide, why is it that for so long, America’s economic foundations have relocated overseas and with Washington’s “bon voyage” type blessings?
Sadly, the title cited refers to our present-day reality—quite frankly, the selling of who we are! Aside from the obvious corporate greed involved, which fuels the corporate world’s individual transactions and reasons for being, this “selling” reflects a national betrayal that shamefully shines upon a treasonous agenda!
Equally ominous is what can’t be sold to foreign markets—in other words, America’s intrinsic values of tradition, principles, and moral being are either ignored, revised, or outlawed! Whatever the case, we are at a point where to remain silent, as we have been so conditioned to be, is to sacrifice our own well-being.
But how is it that we have remained this dormant for so long? After the announced sale of the United States Steel Corporation (USS), I was stunned at our quiet disinterest. America invented the automobile, the TV, and the telephone, so what were the reasons behind industries being transferred overseas? America has been systematically bastardized, first by foreign competition, then influenced, infiltrated, and finally, totally taken over., and without a public whimper. Such quietness was also evident as America’s phones now offer the choice of Spanish or English dialogues!
In addition to our former one language country, America was also founded as a Judeo-Christian nation. So how is it that now, mentioning anything remotely Christian is offensive, or worse, intolerable and even illegal? This in a country where the Ten Commandments are still on display at our highest judiciary level? Yet, this blatant unconstitutionality had its start in that same courtroom when the Supreme Court outlawed prayer in public schools! From that initial “foot in the door,” Constitutional violations have become like a home grown adversarial termite.
America’s dismal educational product has paralleled this downhill avalanche into mediocrity, as today’s colleges and universities are also antithetical to the origins of their “hallowed ivy-covered walls.” Our oldest institutions, such as Harvard, Yale, and Princeton, began as Christian-based institutions designed for the “spreading of the word” in the new world. Today, the word they spread is anarchy!
How about our nation’s military and our ability to sustain a war effort, especially without US Steel? Our military dominance has also receded as services have been downsized in material and personnel. In addition, today’s ground forces shelved military tactics for the studies of sensitivities, white male superiority, racial discord, and gender discrimination—military tactics they are not!
This brief critique, while discouraging, is factual and incriminating to those pulling the policy levers. An official 1983 summation of our educational decline also applies to this present-day military deterioration. It accurately judges both deteriorating departments with: “If an unfriendly foreign power had attempted to impose on America the mediocre educational performance that exists today, we might well have viewed it as an act of war.”
America cannot continue in this helpless and dependent fashion since reliance upon foreign powers is a recipe for disaster. The reliable “then versus now” routine accurately incriminates not only those elected and/or appointed but those doing the electing. In a manner so subtle as to be unnoticed, many have been subliminally massaged into thinking and supporting with a certain bias that has been detrimental to our personal and national well-being. Also, finger-pointing or discounting blame will not accomplish what needs to be corrected.
Our countrymen and women need to appreciate and protect what is America. We need to self evaluate from a different perspective since whatever the thinking or priorities that were, at a minimum, they need re-examining on a broader scale. The fact that America went from being the strongest and best to third world weakness and a state of dependency should be enough to squelch any hesitancy towards rethinking previous beliefs. If not now addressed, America will go under, which also includes “we the people!”
