America Is In A Moral Crisis!

Usually when someone sees the headline, moral crisis, people automatically think the discussion will be about sex and the idea of spouses cheating on each other. We do lack sexual morality, but I want to talk about a different type of morality. The idea that morally we should all be working together to solve problems in America and in the process helping the people that are suffering the most.

Let's start with greed. Almost every, single issue we face has it's root in that small, five letter word. We all suffer from it in various forms and the type I want to focus on is the moral greed. The idea that, "I have mine and the hell with everyone else," has become prevalent in our society. We have phrases like, "If they don't have a job it is their own fault. They need to quit complaining and get off of their butts and go get a job." People then applaud this like, even though we have an extremely high unemployment rate, is plausible.
                                                                                                  
People are talking about, "We need to get the deficit under control, so our children and grandchildren are not buried under an avalanche of debt." Yeah like the politician care about that. Meanwhile what are they proposing we leave them? How about more pollution that will shorten their lives. A system that cannot create good paying jobs, except for the chosen few. An education that is not preparing them to compete with other countries for the latest technology. A country that no longer gives them the hope of accomplishing the same dreams that the previous generations achieved.

The people that lead us, the corporations and the elite, one percent are pitting the older generations against the younger people and are succeeding. They tell the current seniors and those that are close to retirement, their Social security and Medicare will not be affected, but those coming after us will have to make huge changes. We could easily solve this issue with a progressive Social Security tax and eliminate the cap, currently at $106,000. Have the people that can afford it pay their fair share.  They want us busy fighting between generations and then they can move in and take more. Do you honestly believe they will not come after the current recipients once they take it from future generations? They want people that work in private industries fighting against the public sector people. They want us divided. This is a moral crisis.

Morality has so much to do with how we treat each other. Right now we are failing at this. The, powers to be, want it that way. They do not have any morals. They will destroy all of us and our country in the process, to retain their control and power. They do not care about us, so we have to start caring. We need to find ways to help lift every body up and move us forward as a society. That begins with destroying the current, corrupt political system that rewards the people with money. We have to eliminate all private money that is involved with electing our leaders. Corruption is immoral and we all sit back and watch it expand around us. The people with huge piles of cash buy every political office from the President, right down to the local school boards. With that money comes control, over the politicians, and power.

Governments, are and were, created to help and support all citizens, A representative Democracy, like ours, is there to support the views and wishes of the majority. It is designed to protect the weak along with the powerful, not make the powerful stronger while they destroy the weak. We have to continue what has been started by groups, such as Occupy Wall Street, and continue to take the flow of money out of our political system. If we fail to do this, we will have surely doomed our children and grandchildren. Stop listening to the political rhetoric and start supporting the people that matter the most. All of us, the majority. The ninety-nine percenters. This, we are morally bound to do!

Take The Time To Remember Our Veterans and Say, "Thanks!"

This is not a day to talk about our political differences. It is a day to remember the brave men and women that have served our country. It is a time to say thank you to each one of them for their sacrifices and to remember the veterans that are no longer with us, who gave the ultimate sacrifice. Through out the history of America the call has been answered. They were there at Bunker Hill facing the superior forces of the British. They answered the call to save the Union and keep America together during the Civil War. They left their families to travel across the ocean, as the Dough Boys in World War I. They went again to Europe and also to Asia to stop the Nazi and Japanese when they tried to dominate the world in the second great war. Just when they thought they could settle back into a normal life, the call went out to help in Korea. We then got stuck in the quagmire of Vietnam, where our men and women were treated as the enemy, when they returned home. They continued to hold their head high through smaller theatres of operations, Lastly they were once again sent to far away lands, Iraq and Afghanistan, where they remain today, doing their duty.

Each generation has had to take of the mantle of duty and the American fighting men and women have always preformed with the highest level of professionalism and dedication. We must all help them now. First take the time to say. "thank you" to every veteran. Then we must say a prayer for each past member and the current soldiers stationed around the world. Next we must all push our politicians to get our people out of harms way and to find different avenues to protect them in the future and be sure when we send American troops into battle they are prepared and the reason we go is in the best interest of America. Lastly we must again push our leaders to make sure that we honor our commitments to our veterans and when they return home we have jobs and educational opportunities awaiting each and every one of them. We must always remember those that served and NEVER FORGET their sacrifices for each one of us. God bless the wonderful men and women of our armed forces.   

Herman Cain Is A Predator!!!

To all of those Herman Cain supporters I have only one thing to say. "Wake up." You man is a sexual predator, plain and simple. You can try to avoid the truth, but I will sum it up in a very trite saying, "Where there is smoke there is fire." Ironically Cain, himself, used this phrase last week as the story was breaking. One person charging someone with something could or could not be a vendetta. Once we start getting to four and five, coupled with the fact that there was a settlement of some sort, and common sense starts to kick in and we are now looking at a man that is lying to cover his true intentions. What started as an elaborate book tour for Cain is quickly becoming a farewell tour.

Listening to the accounts of the women that Mr. Cain has assaulted, is sickening to say the least. Cain used his position and authority to degrade these ladies and will now try to dismiss them. My hope is that the American public sees this for what it is. Anthony Wiener was driven from office for texting pictures of himself in his under ware. Mr. Cain is taking the trail led by other Republicans, such as David Vitter of Louisiana. Deny, deny and then deny some more. He is trying to push the emphasize on the idea that there are too many serious problems facing America to be spending time on these issues. I agree with Cain that there are problems that we must work to correct, but allowing a predator to continue on the path of, running for President, is something we need to hold him accountable for. Cain needs help and he needs to abandon the ridiculous idea of becoming the President. Try and actually stand up and be a man, Mr. Cain. Admit to your past crimes and let us all move on, to the serious work at hand.

According to Webster Dictionary, a predator is one that preys, destroys or devours. Herman Cain is attempting to do just that to these women and to the American public.  He has changed his stories. He went from didn't happen to he remembered something, but wasn't sure what it was. He stated he would take a lie detector test, then said he wouldn't because he did not think it was appropriate. I do not think Herman Cain knows what Herman Cain wants to do or what the truth is.

A friend of mine, supports Cain, and stated that he wanted to get the facts. How many facts does he need. How many people have to come forward before some people start to realize that Cain is a master at lying, deceiving and avoidance. The facts are piling up. There is more circumstantial evidence then in most criminal trails and yet the Herman Cain supporters are still in denial. The truth hurts and sometimes it is best to face it and move on. To Herman Cain and his supporters my advise is to move on.
