When Is It Going To Be Enough, America?

Believe it or not, this started being about HR875 & S425, but in the writing of it, it’s just so much more.
This is about the amazing things happening in this nation,
and the inconcievable tolerance the American public has of it all.

Dear, dear, America,
When is it going to be enough? Haven’t you been disrespected, marginalized, misdirected, demeaned, disregarded, ignored, insulted, bullshitted, deliberately misinformed, uninformed, manipulated, controlled, cheated, lied to, poisoned, killed…and generally just plane old screwed for long enough? I’m really starting to wonder about you. Why isn’t all that enough for you America? Yoo Hoo! Are you in there?

How does it make sense that you can be thrown into jail for an unpaid traffic ticket, perhaps for days if it’s on a weekend yet; Bernard Madoff who ruined the lives of thousands gets to hang out in luxury, being available to do whatever one does when they are trying to cover their assets before going to jail? Isn’t that enough for you, America?

You are a number. You are photographed hundreds of times everyday. They intend to track you everywhere, they pretty much already do. They already have your grocery cards, and your cars, and your phones, and your computers. They want to “chip” you, and your animals. You have no privacy. Why isn’t that enough for you, America?

You work, most of you, when you can. Those that don’t work and live off the system just don’t “get it”. Then you pay for their dead weight and their children’s. Hell, you allow yourselves to work a third of the year just to pay taxes! Do you think that’s what our founding fathers had in mind? Is that not enough for you YET, America?

You have worked hard for years, tried to save, invested for the future; only to see your future become a far less comfortable one, if it will be there for you at all. All this because of the legalized gambling known as “the stock market”. All this so that bankers and corporations and politicians can profit, from your losses. And you allow them to throw more and more of your money down the toilet. Your dollar is dying. The domino effect of the situation resulted in a global financial meltdown. Why isn’t THAT enough for you, America?

As the late great Bill Hicks said, “Entertainment is a weapon.” Your “news” is controlled and manufactured. Your comedians are the journalists. You and your children are stupefied and zombified by television. Movies, cars, sports and fashion, and Hallmark holidays; they take your attention and your resources. You are in debt up to your ears. Isn’t that enough for you, America?

Your jobs have already gone overseas or are disappearing daily. Welfare, which used to be an embarrassing thing to partake of, is a way of life for millions. Is that enough for you, America?

Your Constitution might as well not even exist. You allow the marginalizing and silencing of those who would honor it. You call them “possible terrorists”. You watch as they try to deny you your rights. You allow them to ignore our borders and the consequences.

You don’t care enough anymore whether or not the person who “leads” your nation can provide the necessary qualifications to even be considered to run for the office, let alone occupy it. That’s why “they” can slip such schmucks in on you, you make it so easy. Don’t YOU and your children have to throw down your birth certificates for all kinds of things? I thought so. It’s the law. Try and not do it and see what happens. Your current liar in chief didn’t have to do it. Why isn’t THAT enough for you, America?

Then, you are told that you have “no standing” in YOUR own courts to question whether or not these Constitutional requirements have been fulfilled. One or two of you make it part of the way only to be told you WILL NOT BE HEARD, and that’s OK with you! Why isn’t THAT enough for you America? Any of you, and I mean ANY of you has standing to ask this question because it is YOUR Constitution that is OUR LAW.

Should you decide to voice your opinion in disagreement with those in power, you are “allowed” to do so but are penned in cages, or trodden by horses, or beaten or sprayed or tazed. Why isn’t THAT enough for you America?

Your rights have been marginalized; you allow voter fraud to go unchecked. You scream for change but at the next election, you re-elect all but 8 of the 257 about which you complain. Your cities and towns are in disrepair, your infrastructure is crumbling. You devalue your teachers, and reward thieves. You let your schools flounder; therefore many of your children are ignorant (not stupid, there’s a difference). Too many of you are fat, way too many of you are on way too many drugs, legal or not. Your sweeteners cause cancer. You are diseased with mystery illnesses, cancer and HIV/AIDS; and your vaccines are dangerous. Why isn’t all of THAT enough for you, America?

So uh… Copy and Paste…. Where’s the second part..

And you know what, that’s great (no really, it is!) Someone has to be a voice. But my question to her (or to you, or anyone)…

America, when are you going to stop bitching and moaning about how bad you have it, and how unhappy you are and actually get out there and DO something.

How much does this woman volunteer to help feed homeless, with cancer and HIV patients?

I can sit here and bitch and moan about a lot of things, but unless I’m willing to get out and actually make it happen…

I have more respect for people who are quiet and I actually see them changing the world than I do for people who complain all the time.

Answer by Joe Swanson
Wow, even if your speech gets removed for an irrelevant reason. 🙂 I applaud your great spirit and sense of perspective. I can only answer with the knowledge that our world is possibly governed by greed and corruption. Even knowing that you should try and keep a strong mind and heart in this world to survive through this degrading era and the rest of the foolishly sublime, well face their end as life recycles its self in time. Our presidents are no exception for change in this era only technicians.

Actually, this generic rant and the pure cut-and-paste content are both getting close to abuse.
