Glenn,
The government is out of touch and I bet that I will be the one who is accused instead.
I do not enjoy the benefits that they (our government) seem to heap upon themselves and continually seek to do so. Where is my wall of protection from the potential bad “guys”? Where are my free healthcare benefits? Where are my perks? Where is my endless spending without consequences? Who do these people think they are? Oh yeah, they think they are the untouchable pop-stars we have made them into.
Again and again (and again) the stage actors perform for their audiences. The audience claps or boos depending on their mood and approval of the performance. Our government is nothing more than a stage filled with actors and their performances should come with the warning label, “For entertainment purposes only”. It is a shame that they don’t take the time to learn their lines anymore. It is really sad when “we” listen to a heartfelt speech regarding a massacre or tragedy and the speaker is reading from cue cards or notes or teleprompter. When I speak, I do not use cards or teleprompters. I know what I am saying and what I want to say. I don’t waste a lot of time choosing the best fit word to ensure audience approval.
I hope to be one of the people who fight the good fight and make the necessary changes to our broken system. I pray that God will give me the opportunity to lead and mentor and fix those things that desperately need it. One thing that has followed me since childhood is an ability to “see” into the future. I am not crazy and I am not talking about crystal balls or the like. I am talking about the vision to see the results of a current path of decisions and choices with predicted consequences. I am unfortunately accurate more about the negative things.
I wrote all of that to write this; we are headed for a revolution. Soon, the lawful will join the lawless and deal in anarchy. The ever growing questions I hear are: “Why should I work and contribute when others don’t by choice?” “Why should I follow rules and laws when others don’t?” “Why should I remain polite and respectful when others don’t?”
I say this to our “leaders” Make some more gun laws. While we are at it, make it illegal to use and sell marijuana or cocaine. Make some more excuses and taxes. Make a few more performances for the ignorant masses. Continue to tear down the institutions like church and the military as they will only get in your way. Disable the police forces. Keep the States slaves with your federal funding and influence. A few of us don’t care what you do anymore and we are not entertained.
There is no reason now to have violence or kill people because of a belief or poor decisions in their workplace. However, the day is coming that collectively those beliefs and poor decisions (greed, stupidity, power, corruption, etc.) will ignite purposeful revolutionary violence. Before you stop reading or call me a “nut-job”, I must remind you that our country was born out of the lack of representation similar to today that resulted in request and pleas ad nauseam to no avail. The resulting violence against tyranny then is now marked with celebration on the 4th of July.
Without an effective say in what happens to the country I live in and pay for, what is my motivation to continue feeding the beast? Why should I allow the beast to get strong and forgetful of who is the master?
Here are my predictions:
Schools will become systems to create young that are ignorant and filled with propaganda
Elections will be facades driven by money and media
Churches will be silenced and eventually driven into obscurity (all potential threats will)
The military will be dismantled
Lawlessness prevails
We will become a target of sovereign nations (China axis probably)
We will lose the attack from the Axis because our citizens will be cognitively (and otherwise) defenseless to mount any real resistance.
Again, I pray EVERY DAY that God gives me the opportunity to be the leader and changer of chosen destiny for the United States of America. I hope and wish and pray that God will be merciful and allow us to correct our stupidity before am right again with predictions. However, I fear that I will be correct in my predictions and am preparing to defend and protect my family.
Sincerely,
Robert A. Grier
