Anarchy & Revaluation

Anarchy. That defines America this week. A place of political confusion of lack of government and political power.

The United States government has shut down. Everyone has their own opinions on it. But the one thing that doesn’t change is the fact that it is something that isn’t good for America. Not from government officials to the poorest of poor. Our soldiers overseas’ are getting IOUs the Department of Agriculture website was taken down due to lack of funds.

The rumor mill can fly quickly surrounding the issue’s at hand. Especially in a day and age of Twitter, Facebook and the like. America’s government shutting down, is just senseless. There is no other practical terminology about it.

America isn’t the nation she once was. The rest of the world see’s that too. See’s that she is a sick and cancerous nation that is struggling. However, it is not a terminal cancer. But it is life altering. It’s something that can be overcame but heart and soul have to be put into it and we have to have a governing body who will treat our fragile nation as just that. Right now our governing body is supposed to be acting like a caring physician who will do everything possible to save their patience’s life. Instead Washington is acting like an abusive, drunken husband. One that claims to love his wife but makes bad decisions, beats her and then sobers up for Sunday morning church telling the congregation that he loves her and will do right by her this time.

History shows that drunken husband will probably beat his wife again. Just as we keep having just enough faith in the current government that they will do right by us.

Right now the America needs a protecting government. The Middle East is still a threat. Syria is quiet stirred up, China is breathing down our necks and that’s just issues from abroad. America cannot afford to be weak at this moment.

With the government shut down it is just showing that we have incapable leaders. If there was to be an attack on America right now would be the ideal time to such. Washington is not functioning making delays in moving military units a sad and scary reality.

I look at Washington and I do see a monkey sitting in a place where real leaders had sat. Obama was at a time a hope for most of America citizens. But then again Hitler was once the idealistic leader for a Post-World War I Germany. Obama makes promises he can’t keep. He courted much of America with a smile and offered things that would make America the new Promised Land once again. He won his office by doing what very few other politicians had done. He made lower class, and lower ethically statured people feel important. In much of the very same way a girl with low self-esteem would fall for a man who could end up in an abusive relationship. For once feeling like she mattered and was important fell for him and married him and when true colors began to show, did not walk away because they are incapable of doing so and don’t want to feel embarrassed by their mistakes and are quite frankly, fearful of what else could happen after that abusive relationship.

Sounds familiar does it not? Obama made an entire group of citizens that did not previously take part in the election of government officials feel important and therefor was able to not only get their vote but get them too vote.

Obama was smart. Obama is smart. There is no denying that. What there is to deny, is his common sense and where his loyalties lie. I don’t believe that Obama’s loyalties lie with America and her people. I haven’t ever believed that.

Being one of the main reasons why the government shut down, is Obama Care. I have the basic insurance I am required by law to have. Automobile insurance and home owners insurance due to my mortgage. I do not have any form of health insurance. Something, I do admit, would be nice to have. I’m a twenty-year-old college student and waitress. Health insurance is not something feasible at this moment. I do plan ahead financially for doctor’s visits and prescription costs though. It would be able to go to the doctor for every slight whim. It’s frivolous I’ll admit but for many people there are many times where having health insurance for all, one that is realistic, would be amazing.

Obama Care is Obama’s attempt to fulfill promises that he made in order to win office both times he ran. It’s a beautiful idea. But so are unicorns and gold at the end of rainbows, fairies, and other fictitious things. That is what the trouble is. So many people heard the idea and thought of how terrific it would be. But they didn’t ask how everything can get from one level to another. And that’s impossible.

America is the land of a million dreams and endless possibilities. But there are something’s that just can’t be done. Like turning back the hands of time, Obama Care is impossible.

For the first in years America has to stand up for what it believes in and for herself. The Patriot movie in the beginning there is a line that Mel Gibson’s character Benjamin Martin says “Why trade one tyrant 3,000 miles away for 3,000 tyrants one mile away.”

When our forefathers freed the thirteen original colonies from the King of England that’s what ended up happening. Our government of elected officials has become in all reality, tyrants. I am not one to propose war. I believe it to be necessary upon occasion and support soldiers always, but, I do not advocate for it. America needs to see that in our government, on every level it seems but, most pressingly the head of our governing body has failed us. It’s time for another revolution. One that shouldn’t cost us blood and lives but one that should in turn be able to free us from such a catch 22. Reform needs to happen in Washington, it has to soon or I feel as much strength and hope I have in such a great nation will not be enough. Washington leaders will not do reform. They will not cut their pay, arrange their own benefits, or erect laws that apply to both us and themselves as a whole nation.

If we, average American citizen, does not take this shut down of the government as a signal as to what it truly is, a failing government, a flat line, then I fear that a sick nation will not survive and that I may be alive to see this nation be buried. That saddens me, because this is the greatest nation on earth still. Nowhere else I would rather live or raise a family.

Anarchy is something that The Sons have popularized. But it’s not something that America needs to follow in suit.
