The only security this country seems to care for anymore is the one that allows for funds to be taken from social services and used for war, Patriot Act driven oppression and corporate welfare entitlement. Those unfortunate souls who have to stand in line for a warm bed in an overcrowded dormitory or in a food kitchen line to get a modest meal, are painfully finding that many of their lifelines are being denied by the very country they pledged their allegiance to. Instead of solutions, politicians are only delivering rhetoric, excuses and false promises. In this, our Nation's greatest time of need, they would rather protect their own than fight for providing for the American people.
Many try to ignore these people as they represent the errors and gluttony of a nation lost but they are still American citizens and need to be cared for. The Right and their Tea Party counterparts vehemently expound upon the protection of our borders against illegal immigrants, terrorists, foreign influences and protecting the Constitution for the preservation of America's citizens but in the same breath they condemn social services to support Americans in their time of need. The simple reality is this: American governance has become detached from the lives lived by those whom it has been charged the protection and care of.
According to the principles of fascism, the rule of the elite class is inevitable in a capitalistic society. Fascists feel that elite rule is natural and desirable, and those with the rare qualities of leadership will rise to the top. This type of leader does not derive power from a constitution, but is the embodiment of the people. Mussolini said a leader is --the living sum of untold souls striving for a goal." In short, the elite class is desired and needed because they will lead the people to greatness. In the case of this country however, or leaders are leading us to ruin and are far from the mantle of greatness.
Maybe this nation is not heading toward fascism after all. That leap would take real intelligence and power derived through purpose. I'm sure all American citizens can agree that this is not a danger in our current Congress and it is especially lacking in our police force. Fascism takes control and intelligence but recently, America is quickly losing the control it once had in the world and our self-labeled leaders emerging from places like Alaska, are far from intelligent. Still, the elite in this country try tirelessly to impose a fascist state and tirelessly, we true patriots resist.
In America today, people who have been misguided enough to believe in the American system and lost their piece of the Dream because of it, are now hoping for a savior. Unfortunately, none is to be found in this, our modern America. We as a nation are quickly falling into the realm of the second world. The rise of a real, sincere leader is a pipe dream under the impotent umbrella of our current political system and the economic destruction they have reaped in their own name. The future of this nation indeed looks dim.
Homelessness has in the past been viewed as a state of laziness but today, it is a growing condition that represents a dying world power. The elite persist in the denial of this national illness for its recognition would admit fault. At the end of the day though, ignoring it will not lessen the inevitability that this, our once great nation, is now a declining Empire. Many are on the brink of bankruptcy in this country and where once lay the promise of prosperous times for all, there now exists the reality that we are all only one misfortune away from being Homeless in the Land of Milk and Honey.
