More About: Politics: General ActivismPost Christmas wish list: what America needs in 2011
Most
Americans enjoyed a joyous Christmas full of presents, friends, families and children.
Churches filled to capacity with worshippers bidding a “Merry Christmas” to
everyone they passed. Santa Claus visited with a plethora of gifts for all good
little boys and girls.
The ‘politically
correct’ media called it ‘Happy Holidays’ because they feared offending anyone
that didn’t ‘believe’ in Christmas.
Nonetheless, I saw two showings of “Miracle on 34th Street” with
Maureen O’Hara because I love the nostalgia of what America once
represented. Additionally, I watched “It’s
a Wonderful Life” with Donna Reed and Jimmy Stewart for the 40th
time. Yes, I cry for the ‘America’ I once
knew and understood.
As a kid
born in the 40s, I know what America once meant to all Americans. That no longer exists! In its passing, most of our children cannot
remember the simple pleasures of living
on a farm, of our lives around the Christmas tree, big dinners for the parents
around the big oak tables and the kids sitting around the card tables.
Today, we
find our children living in concrete jungles replete with drugs, broken school
systems, single parents, strange people from foreign countries that do not
celebrate Christmas, cell phones, inane television, frivolous presents and too
many divorced parents celebrating with their kids at separate times with new ‘half’
mommies and ‘half’ daddies and phone calls to grandparents.
Fathers and
mothers ‘Skype’ visit their kids from war zones around the world while their
families wonder if they will ever see their parents again. Some 15 million unemployed Americans
celebrated with tears, pain and uncertain futures. Another 13.4 million American children live
below the poverty level, which means their Christmas benefits arrived from the
local shelter and peoples’ contributions to food banks and toy collections.
It’s hard
to believe if not astonishing that America, the richest country in the world,
features 42.8 million Americans subsisting on food stamps. (Source: Reuters)
We suffer
two meaningless and inane ten year wars in Iraq and Afghanistan dribbling on as
they kill, cripple, and drive our young people insane. Expect no less than 100,000 long term
suicides and more from those two idiotic and perpetual wars. In excess of 175,000 Vietnam combat troops
that left that war in one piece—committed suicides in later years and hundreds
of thousands more drank themselves into oblivion.
When history
finally adds up former President George W. Bush’s legacy, it will be a sobering
reminder of the stupidity of his alcohol-clouded mind (Bush is a recovering
alcoholic), the feckless behavior of his contrived “Weapons of Mass Destruction”
and his downright stupidity at nation-building when his own country fell into
ruins.
My Post Christmas Wish
List
1. Get out of Iraq and Afghanistan
lock, stock and barrel. Leave those two ancient civilization to build their own
societies, their own schools, their own police forces and their own defense
systems. Our country cannot and must not
be the policeman of the world. Why? We cannot continue pouring $12 billion per
month into their countries when our own country falls into financial ruin,
i.e., $13 trillion federal debt.
2. Stop insourcing, offshoring,
outsourcing millions of American jobs. Instead of ‘free’ trade; let’s institute
‘fair’ trade where China or any country sells us $100 billion in goods and we
sell them $100 billion in goods. We work
our people in jobs in our country rather than import ‘their’ people to our
country to displace our workers. Let’s
maintain our manufacturing to employ our people instead of China’s people. Fair
enough? You betcha’! Ask 15 million unemployed Americans.
3. Engage a Congress that stands up for
American citizens and American values such as Christmas, the flag, Pledge of
Allegiance, personal accountability and personal responsibility.
4. Engage a president and Congress that
works for our people, not foreign governments such as Barack Obama defending
illegal aliens and siding with Mexico against Arizona and America’s borders. Instead of placing 570,000 troops all over
the world to defend other countries, how about standing them on our borders to
secure our citizens from drugs and illegal aliens?
5. How about enforcing our laws as to employers
that employ illegal aliens in violation of our statues. Enforce E-Verify,
biometric ID card and sanctions. Encourage
10 million fully-employed in the US illegal aliens back to their own country by
their own bus ticket when they can no longer remain employed because we enforce
our laws.
6. Build our schools up with English as
our only language. Educate our young to become literate and responsible. Engage
“love and logic” courses for parenting so we don’t continue a massive welfare
state for single mothers. With 72
percent of African-American teens as single parents, 34 percent
American-Hispanics and another 22 percent White-Americans—that remains
disgusting beyond comprehension. (Source: Brian Williams at NBC) We cannot fund a massive welfare state of
fatherless children if we hope to remain a viable civilization.
7. Stop the ‘Anchor Baby’ explosion of
350,000 to 400,000 annual child births in America by single mothers that crossed
the border illegally to render a child into our welfare system. No first world country in the world allows
this insane phenomenon. We must end
birthright citizenship before we no longer can maintain our society.
8. At the current rate of immigration,
the USA will add 100 million people within 25 years. Does that make sense? As a society, do we
want that for our children? Answer:
no! Let’s reduce all immigration from
3.1 million annually to100,000 or less. That includes green card holders
allowed into this country annually which includes 900,000 of their birthed
children. It’s a recipe for disaster of our own children, our own schools, our
own medical facilities and our own future.
9. We must move toward a non-oil energy
driven civilization if we hope to survive the 21th century as a sustainable
civilization. At present, we do not possess a conservation system or any movement
toward relinquishing oil.
10. Bring
textiles, manufacturing, steel, rubber, glass, plastic and other industry back
to the USA to employ U.S. workers instead of Chinese, Mexicans and other
countries’ people.
11. Rebuild
our infrastructure with our workers to re-circulate the money within our own
country.
12. Pay
off the debt at the federal and state levels.
13. Create
a 10 cent deposit/return law for all plastics, metal containers, glass and
aluminum containers. We need to conserve
and recycle instead of continued raping the planet for raw materials.
14. Do
away with plastic grocery bags and move toward a 25 cent reward for bringing
your own cotton bags into all retail outlets. Let’s be responsible to nature
and vanquish the Great Pacific Garbage patch along with plastic bags hanging
all over our landscape.
Yes,
my list runs longer, but no space at this time. Does it make sense? What might your list show? Send it to your Congress-critter to let
him/her know your thoughts on America’s future. www.NumbersUSA.org

In a five minute astoundingly simple yet brilliant video, “Immigration, Poverty, and Gum Balls”,
Roy Beck, director of www.numbersusa.ORG,
graphically illustrates the impact of overpopulation. Take five minutes
to see for yourself:

This 10 minute demonstration shows Americans the results of
unending mass immigration on the quality of life and sustainability for future
generations: in a word “Mind boggling!” www.NumbersUSA.org

This is a procedural Frosty-bashing post. It has nothing to do with the factual or statistical content of the post. A test, if you will of the Emergency Frostcast System. If this were an actual Frosty bash you would have been instructed to forget or to learn mathematics quickly. We now return you to your regularly scheduled programing.
