I'm angry. Angry at a system that has allowed us to go from the strongest proudest nation in the the world to a nation of wimps and cowards that is the laughingstock of the world.
Recently we had a shooting in one of our universities. It was allegedly perpetrated by someone who "had been bullied." who had "low self esteem."
No the attack was made by a whiny little puke who had probably never been spanked. Someone who had had it his way, and when he couldn't get it his way, got a gun. Basically, some crazy guy who should have been found out, and given help a long time ago.
But our health care system doesn't cover "mental health issues." You can get a sex change, an abortion, or even a face lift. But if you are insane, "Sorry, just go away. We don't want to help you. and if you can get help, don't do it here."
When the person does manage to get some help, the medications are so expensive that it would streach the budget of Bill Gates to pay for them. Never mind some poor insane person who because of his illness can't even get a job.
I'm angry that when someone attacks America we lower the flag as if to say, "Yes, you have cowed us. You have made us afraid. You set out to terrorize America into humble submission. You have succeeded."
Time to get tough! Time to stop whining and fight back! When some lunatic (foreign of domestic) decides to destroy the heart of America it's time to fly the flags at full staff, and say NEVER AGAIN! We just won't stand for it anymore.
Instead of searching citizens and confiscating everything longert than a paper clip, perhaps it's time to issue eveery citizen a loaded firearm every time we get on an airplane. The result? NO MORE HIJACKINGS! Too simplistic? Look in the US Constitution for words that say things like "Well regulated milita."
What has happened to us? We have gone from a nation of fighters to a group of prey. An old Chief Petty Officer once told me, "Boy, in this ocean (the world) there are only two kinds of fish. Sharks, and Guppies. Which are you?"
I don't suppose any of this will make one whit of difference. But ther is ar least one Citizen who refuses to be a guppy any longer.
Hear me terrorists, foreign and domestic. You have in the words of Imperial Japanese Admirial Yamamoto after the attack on Pearl Harbor, "Aroused a sleeping tiger, and filled him with a terrible resolve.
NEVER AGAIN!
