Where has to true leadership run off to?

Where are we headed as a country? What are our leaders doing to this great country? Are we no longer a country of “American Exceptionalism”?

Lets look at what that means. The United States held a special place among all nations because we freely accepted immigrants. And it was with those immigrants that we became the first democracy of the modern era. Economic and political opportunities have always been higher than all other countries. Such situations along with a great degree of social mobility have attracted the best and brightest from around the world to our shores. No longer were people trapped in the political and social structure of the homelands they had fled leaving behind not only family in some cases, but also the masses of people that did not believe in themselves. It was with the help of these people that we expanded west with the pioneering grit and determination that no longer seems to exist today. Those are the people that helped to create our “American way of life”.

It seems that all anyone wants to do these days is have other people dictate how they will live, work, and get paid. We are fast becoming a cradle to grave society with respect to healthcare, earnings, and retirement. We no longer seem to care about doing anything to improve our own situations, and are more and more relying on the government to implement along with unions and others we not only don’t know, but also shouldn’t trust, every aspect of our lives. When will food become an entitlement too?

It’s time for us to toss out every politician that only wants to play the blame game. We need people that will be responsible for not only their own actions, but also call to task those that refuse to be. We don’t need to be, nor should we try to be like any other country. We would be better off too not only understand, but also embrace our “American Exceptionalism”, as that is what made America the great country that she is.

We don’t need a “New World Order”, we just need a few politicians with the balls to stand up for what is right and stop tearing this great country apart. When will we once again be blessed with a real statesman, and not cursed with the likes of Pelosi’s puppet?
