Are You Satisfied?

It can go without saying, The United States is one groovy place to live. No other country on the planet enjoys the level of freedom that we enjoy here. The old cliche, "Freedom ain't Free" didn't just come out of thin air, either. Going all the way back to the American Revolution, (or the Insurrection, if you're a Brit) there are countless examples of men and women giving their lives just for the very idea of "ultimate freedom".

The Freedom to Chose

One of the constant themes of the Christian Bible is that God gives us all the freedom to chose our own paths. It also warns that with choice comes consequence.

What am I getting at? I'm getting at the fact that we CHOOSE to elect incompetent, uncaring, unsympathetic, corrupt, sub-human career politician every single election. At the same time, we have the audacity to look surprised when the economy is in the tank or when we become embroiled in a war that the people genuinely didn't want....or maybe the people DID want it....who knows...nobody asked the PEOPLE what they wanted. Why? Because we, the people, elect people to represent our interests in Congress and Senate. If they do not vote the way the people of their respective districts tell them to, then they are in direct violation of the Oath that they take before they get into office. If the people get loud enough and adamant enough, the wrong doer can be removed from office. If not by impeachment, then by process of election. Which brings me to now.

Right now, our precious FREEDOM is at risk. If we, as Americans, fail to involve ourselves with the issues of the world around us, then we are doomed. Sound too gloomy? Good. Picture this: You move into your ideal home. You've never been happier living anywhere else in your life. You're kickin' butt at work, spiritually, you've never felt better, the bank loves you, velvet ropes part when you enter. What makes it great is that it's all paid for. You owe nothing and own it all. The only problem is that the people who occupy the surrounding area don't take care of the land and it falls into disarray. Eventually, the diseases from their property encroach onto yours and your property value plummets to the point that you end up losing everything you invested in the property you loved so much. How would you feel, then?

Now, imagine you're a veteran and you have shed both your own blood and the blood of the enemies of your country, all at your countries behest. You've volunteered to sacrifice your own life so that those you love can have a better life. When you return home, you find that the country you fought for doesn't even care about itself.

FINALLY....TO THE POINT

It doesn't take very long to check into the people you're going to elect to represent you. Tonight, on RedNeck Radio News, you tell us your rep's name and we'll tell you what he's doing. You can make up your own mind if you're satisfied with them. If you're not....DO SOMETHING. We'll help.
