Defining Independence

Many years ago some people had a dream of becoming independent and free from being under a ruling thumb.  Looking back today, they had quite the fight on their hands developing and shape this nation into what it is today.  As much as that past dream changed the lives of so many people, it has brought so much desperation to others.  During the time it has taken to be a ruling power within the world, so many of those developing dreams have been fogged out of view.  Laws and regulations had been developed so that all immigrants could become citizens and search out their personal dreams as well.

Today July 03, 2010, things that were once the foundation and structure of this nation of the United States, which was once referred to as a great nation, is experiencing the fabric of the nation being shredded and with so many senators and congressmen having no idea what they are doing other than hiding their heads in the sand and putting all the blame on others except themselves where the true fault lies is within each of them and past Presidents.

It has come to be realized that when a new President is elected into office all mistakes and ill decisions will be all his/her fault because in this country once a high ranking personnel is replaced, fired, or resigns they are no longer responsible for the ill affects they have left on this country and the new President has been labeled as the "bad guy" during the time he strives to overcome the disaster left behind by those before him. 

Why is it that natural born citizens of the U.S. have to sit second chair to all the illegal immigrants that show absolutely no respect for our flag, the constitution, or the laws and regulations that were written for this nation so many years ago.  Should a true citizen disrespect those same threads of the fabric of this nation, we would be arrested, convicted, and jailed.  In years past, when there were problems from local level to state, on to national levels it was the people of this country that bound together to overcome diversity, but today it seems it is better to point fingers, listen to all the lies by the media, and set back making comments from faults information.  Evey person who is completely against the health care reform have not read one word of the bill.  Yet they will listen to some politician or media person and make their decisions from them instead of all the facts that are within the bill presented for rewriting the reconstruction of the health care reform. 

So the question to ask now, where will this country be in another 100 years from now?  Or will there be a nation in another 100 years?

Just something to think about while celebrating the Independence of this nations.
