I OWN AMERICA

I own America. Well, let me clarify that. I own a portion of America. There are approximately 300,000,000 American citizens. Each citizen is a part owner of this great nation. So, with that being said, I own 1/300,000,000th of America. The same amount as any other citizen. The same amount as our representatives in Washington. Our current administration acts like they own this country and they are our rulers, not our equals who we elected as our representatives. I’m not pointing the finger at any one party or person. This problem is across the board. The frightening part about this is that the rest of this nation’s owners are getting fed up with their behavior and inability to do the job we hired them to do. Yes we hired them, we are their bosses. I point this out because there are things going on in this country I never thought I would see happen in my lifetime.  Unfortunately current circumstances have turned this nation into a tinder box on the verge of major civil unrest.

Some minor civil unrest has already begun in our nation capital. A couple weeks ago over 800,000 bikers rode to DC to show their feelings on current issues. They were denied a permit, but went anyway. Just this weekend, in an effort to make a point, thousands of truckers purposely gridlocked the beltway around Washington. Also, some of our fellow nation’s owners have gone to Washington and removed the barriers keeping people away from “our” monuments. Some of the barriers around our war memorials were piled up on the fence of the white house (which we also own). To those responsible for this, I salute you.

Do I believe that major civil unrest is the answer? No I don’t. Do I believe that well placed peaceful acts of defiance may help our nation? Yes I do. Do I think we will ever get all 300,000,000 of our nation’s owners to totally agree on anything? Absolutely not. Do I think we will ever have representatives in Washington that remember they are not our rulers and they themselves only own 1/300,000,000^th of America? I pray to God that day will come and it comes soon.

LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

A letter came out today from the President to all Federal workers. He said all the expected stuff, how great we are, getting a raw deal, yada, yada, yada. All the normal lip service. But in one paragraph, on the second page he could not resist playing politics and assigning blame for the shut down. This was not the right forum for that. No class whatsoever.

Here is the paragraph in question:

“This shutdown was completely preventable. It should not have happened. And the House of Representatives can end it as soon as it follows the Senate's lead, and funds your work in the United States Government without trying to attach highly controversial and partisan measures in the process.”

Below is the letter in it's entirety:
