OpEdNews - Page 3 of Article: Proud to be American

We even have the politicians voting to give them what they wdemand. We even have the President of Mexico coming and going like he owns the country Rabble Rousing and not a word being said about it.

Makes me think back to how this country was formed. Firstly the Indians who originally owned the country were rounded up and slaughtered and placed in small areas where they were held, they had their way of living destroyed, their children placed in schools to forget their Native ways and learn their captors ways.

We then seen the slavery where human beings were captured like animals and transported here in chains and sold like a commodity to work the fields and if lucky to work in Massa 's house where they were treated a little better. There were familys formed and they had to stand by and watch as the families were broken up, their children being sold. If they tried to escape this kind of life they were hunted down like animals, whipped, branded like cattle or just hung,

Today 2006, many of these blacks are still not allowed to vote, in many areas they are still treated as something less than human. They are mostly amongst the very poorest in this country.
They will work and would if they could find the work, many of them who did work when the factories and businesses closed and left the country. These are the American Displaced. They can expect no help from Our Government. But they are ready to give Illegal Mexicans what they will not give Americans.

I think of in Bush's Texas where a man by the name of james Byrd was dragged to death chained to the back of a pick-up truck. The only real justice for a crime such as this is for those that did it be given the same treatment,

Want to see a real drop in the crime rate. Treat those that commit the crime just like they treated their victims. To Hell with the needle, the chair and the gas chamber.

For a person in this day and age to go without shelter, food and a chance of education is criminal, When so many have so much because of the work of those less fortunate is absolutely sickening. But then we are now living in a time when nothing is dear, when nothing matters but the Almighty Dollar, if you do not have it, Tough Shit! We are living in a time when they will vote against raising the minimum wage but vote for huge pay raises for themselves, even worse huge tax breaks for those that have it all.

We are spending billions on a war that is completely illegal monies that could be better spent. We see No Bid contractors being hired to do work, see them brought up on charges of fraud and price gouging of getting paid for work never being done and now they are being brought here to build Detention Centers to the tune of 400 million dollars. Lets see the override on this. If and when they build a fence between Mexico and the US you can bet they will be there as well.

It is time for the corrupt, incompetent, treasonous bunch to be held accountable for their actions. A time for a Court that will hand out Justice for the Crimes committed. What they have done to this country alone is a crime, compound that with the murder of Iraqis and Our Soldiers, So many crimes, so much death. To even speak of War is unmentionable coming from the mouth of one who would not go himself, to the extent that he even went AWOL and still ended up in the Whitehouse.

Proud to be American. I 'm going to have to think about that for a bit. Right now with all that is going on I 'm ashamed of what the Once Great Proud Country has turned into. It will take a Man that truly loves this country for what it was and can be again. It is time for the Republicans as well as the Democrats, many of whom don't know which side of the aisle to sit on to take notice, if you don't measure up, Get the Hell Gone if it takes a third party then bring it on we aren't getting much out of the two we have now. Scandals, corruption, incompetence, treason.
