Hay...A lot of what you have written is very true. However, this Progressive Democrat can’t quite figure out what type of system do you recommend? I know we surely have big problems the way we are running it now. One thing I can surely say someone needs to control Capitalism or it will eat all of us alive.
Hey Robert H. Hay is for horses. As a modern day Socialist educated Progressive, I wouldn't expect you to be able to figure me out. However, I will try to enlighten you. Please bear in mind that I am an Independent v**er, I tend toward being a Patriotic Nationalist, I am a Constitutionalist, I am a veteran, I happen to be white, I happen to be an average working class retired taxpayer, my race is Human, I don't like: "Diversity" as applied by Progressives to people or race, "Political Correctness," people who "holler before they're hurt," people who don't care about their country (the USA or wherever they came from), immigrants who fail to assimilate into our culture and then try to d**g their dirty laundry they are running from into my culture, people who have little to no tolerance of others and/or their cultures, people who persist in trying to change me to their religion or culture and believe their religion is the ONLY correct theology, people who disrespect the f**g of their country (wh**ever country they're from), immigrants who profess to be US citizens but disrespect the USA, our F**g, our Pledge of Allegiance, or our National Anthem, US citizens who fail to promote the good qualities of the USA positively, here and abroad. I also believe humans, and other species as well, are r****t to some degree because it is natural for one to be more comfortable among their own kind, but tolerant of others who are different; r****ts as promoted in humans, particularly extremist Progressives, tend to have lost the tolerance found in most species, and diversify people by their race, to the detriment of all.
First of all, you should understand that the USA was founded as a Republic, not a Democracy. Our Founding Fathers were intelligent enough to recognize, from previously failed societies, that socialism doesn't work, and it is a very dangerous thing to try and implement, which is why the word "democracy" never appears anywhere in the Founding Documents. Ben Franklin said, concerning our newly formed government, that the Founding Documents "gave us a Republic, if you can keep it." I'm for keeping it!
The Progressive Democrats wish to take our borders, language, culture, common sense, and government away and replace it with a guaranteed failure of a Socialist Utopia where one doesn't have to think for themselves and depends entirely on the government for their existence. Socialism has never been successful, and it won't be successful for the Socialist New World Order pipe dream and what's left of a once great Republic, the USA. Under Socialism, the State owns everything, and everyone, other than a few Elite Controllers, works for the State "for the greater good," where the incentive to better oneself is non-existent, the value of life is depressed, and control is maintained by drugs, entertainment, fear, and force, by the Elites.
In our Constitutionally Limited Capitalist Republic, we can own property and keep what we earn, and compete for better positions in life. The government fears the people, not the other way around. Socialism within our system is corrupting our Republic and it needs to be taken down a lot of notches or eliminated.
Secondly, you must understand what the problem is before attempting to fix it. I don't pretend that I know the best way to fix it, but there are several, and they are all better than Socialism. The problem was recognized back in the first century by Cicero, a Roman philosopher, who put forth this idea concerning the fall of the Roman Empire: ""The evil was...the willingness of the people to sell their rights as free men for full bellies and the excitement of games."
Thirdly, look around you, and notice all the "full bellies" you see. You can't miss them. Obesity is rampant in this country. Now look a bit deeper and observe carefully what your friends, maybe you, and a vast majority of people of the USA, and even the rest of the world although I'll direct this more toward the USA, does in their free time. Mostly they think of "games" and "entertainment" rather than working for a living and the betterment of themselves and the USA. Approximately half of the USA population now v**es Democrat for a living rather than works for a living. Keep this up and the working taxpayers will eventually quit working to take their turn at the government tit, and soon their cow of life dries up and dies, taking everyone with it. We have no other country willing or able to take US citizens on as refugees that we can run to!
President John F. Kennedy once said, "Ask what you can do for your country, not what your country can do for you," which is a excellent idea, particularly considering that JFK was a Democrat. Socialist Progressives have turned this bassackward and trains our youth, via government controlled socialist public education and political correctness, to ask what your country can do for you, not what what you can do for your country, which is a piss poor way to run our Republic.
There are two soft c**ps going on during this period of mass hysteria, the Progressives and the Muslims, both being directed by the Deep State operatives. Progressives infiltrated the government first, and there are several Obama holdovers (obstructionists) in all three branches of our government who should be ferreted out and incarcerated or dismissed. Now the Muslims are beginning to infiltrate the government at Federal, State and Local levels trying to change our Constitution into the Koran and putting us under their nearly inhuman Sharia Laws; these two cultures are not compatible and neither are the documents. There is actually an unenforced law against Muslims being citizens of the USA. The Progressives are legal, but are basically a bastardized form of the original Democrat party, like their predecessors, the Ku Klux Klan.
The Deep State (shadow government) provides genetically modified food that is less nourishing, drugs that are damaging to the brain, and a great many forms of entertainment such as football, soccer, basketball, trafficked sex, random violence, and agitprop to keep the populous fat, dumb, and happy, in order to divert our attention from what they are doing to undermine our country. Once the populous recognizes what going on, and quits supporting it, the country and culture will turn around and make the USA great again. It will be a bitter diet, but if we don't take the Progressives and Muslims on, the borders will fail, the government will fail, and the Republic called the United States of America will follow the Roman Empire down the sewer, becoming just another third-world colony again.
As to what I would like to see happen, I believe in a limited Constitutional Republic under limited Capitalism works quite well. I also believe that one should support the country where one lives, or else go to some other country that one can support, if, of course, one can find another country that will tolerate ones philosophy. We are a country of laws, but the problem here is that we have too many laws. Congress writes about ten thousand new laws a year, many of which are unnecessary or for benefiting themselves, their friends and cohorts; there are so many laws now that it is difficult to determine just how many there are, so for every new law they write, we should require them to remove two laws from the books until we get down to a reasonable number of laws that ordinary people have a chance of remembering and understanding. We should make our English language the legal language of the USA; it would save Billions of Dollars in printing costs to print all of our official documents in only one language, and as a bonus it would give migrants who enter the USA legally and go through our immigration program to become a legal citizen of the USA more of an incentive to learn the language of our country. Multilingualism causes many serious problems when legal immigrants become citizens and cannot communicate with other English speaking citizens easily; language problems can escalate grievances to the point of h**e and discontent or even war. Failure to assimilate as a new citizen also leads to h**e, discontent, r****m, culture conflicts, and other problems. M**************m, or extreme Diversity should be avoided, and Political Correctness is a Progressive mental disorder used to force people to remain quiet when they should speak out and diminishes our First and Second Amendment Rights, among others. R****m, being a Progressive/Democrat/Socialist tool, will be with us until it is no longer profitable for religious nuts and others who profit from roiling up the masses.
The "wall" or "fence" at the border will not stop all of our illegal migration, drug, and human trafficking problems. However, it will certainly slow it down by funneling those that seriously want to become citizens of the USA into the proper legal channels. The i*****l m*****ts coming into the country for nefarious reasons are the ones we need to stop, and a barrier will assist the Border Patrol by reducing incoming illegal ground traffic. A sensitive seismic system might help detect "diggers" who try to come under the barrier. For the technocrats, a well designed RADAR controlled missile system could be used to knock down any unidentified aircraft crossing the border(s). Security at the airports is currently a farce, but it could, and should, be improved. Our north border may need to be addressed as well. IMHO, it is worth it, because without borders we have no nation, and free access to all will end up in chaos. All government benefits available to i*****l m*****ts should be immediately stopped, including the "anchor baby" loophole.
Things like people who are in the spotlight of entertainment disrespecting the USA, the same USA that has given them Millions and Millions of dollars under our Capitalist system for them to squander, thinking they are gods and/or above the law, and putting their mouths in gear and allowing it to run unattended by mental supervision, spewing forth a catharsis of "perceived facts" about something they know little to nothing about is a bad thing. It is unfortunate that they missed the "common sense" part of their education. If this is what they learned in college, they should see if they could get their money back! Of course most colleges and universities in the USA have succumbed to the Progressive Deep State NWO and UN agenda and their products show it daily by their socialist verbiage, political violence, and actions.
I could go on, Robert, but I hope this is sufficient to satisfy your desire to understand what I think should be done, or not done, to improve the USA. I love this country, and fought for this country and our culture, and I h**e to see people who dislike how we do things here under our Constitution, not the stuff that goes against the Constitution, destroy it. After all, the Constitution, a limiting document, was written to prevent an out of control government from infringing on the natural rights of the populous, not limit the natural rights of the people. Our Bill of Rights, states what the government can't do, and IMHO the first ten amendments are quite good, but the amendments above ten should be reviewed and possibly revised.
