Rally on 9-12-09
Back in the day when I was a young High School student, we would have rallies in the auditorium just before an upcoming football game. The “rah-rah” was loud and raucous but oh-s0-exciting! At that moment in time we were all “one” in intent and purpose…..we wanted to WIN. And so it is with the 9-12 rally goers in Washington, DC and other cities across our nation. We still want to WIN. We want to win back our Country as established under the Constitution…period.
As in the football rallies in high school, it was only the beginning. The football players then had to go out and work to win. All the cheering in the world wouldn’t do a bit of good if the quarterbacks, half-backs, guards etc didn’t kick, punt, and block their way to victory. The sweat would pour, the tension would increase and it was only after score was called that we knew if we had won or not. And, so it is with the 9-12 protestors. It’s time to work, sweat and energize ourselves to keep the momentum going. We can’t just glory in a good turn-out and expect that to be the galvinizing factor of true change alone. It’s going to take time and effort to turn the government around to the will of the people.
From what I have determined by following the news….little main-stream aside from FOX….it is clear to me that America is still a very conservative, hard-working Country. We don’t have to be told to get up in the morning to go to work nor do we need told to help our neighbor in need. Those characteristics are built into the people of America and have been since it’s inception. We don’t need “Leaders” to tell us how to live; we just need people in charge of managing what we already have so that lives can run smoother on the highways of this great Nation. We don’t need folks determining what, where, when and how we raise our children or care for our elderly. We only need to be left alone to take care of FAMILY ourselves. If help is needed, then it should be for advancement and not to keep folks in an entitlement mode. A hand up is always better than a hand-out.
I know this is true because I have been in some mighty low places in my life; some through no fault of my own but others because of choices and decisions I made and had to take responsibility for. At no time did I ever want anyone to “share the wealth” with me. What a ridiculous notion! Why would anyone want to work hard, sacrifice some of their wants and needs only, upon success, to be told to give me money because I didn’t make it to their level? Not only is that insulting them(and is grossly unfair)but is an insult to me as well. Maybe; just maybe, I am poorer then they are because I don’t want the responsibility of being where they are. When a “spread-the-wealth” mentality takes hold all it does is create angst and anger. Jesus said “the poor will always be with you” and He was right. It is what it is. If I had wanted to forgo some experiences so I could focus on creating wealth for myself, I would have done it. I didn’t but I sure don’t expect anyone else to hand me theirs either.
I am extremely pleased that this 9-12 rally took place and more pleased that it was such a success! It doesn’t matter that it is being down-played by the more liberal of the news makers because that still doesn’t change the facts on the ground. In fact, the more it is down-played, the more moronic looking are those who reveal how biased they truly are in their own field of vision. Now, I’m hoping that the momentum continues in force. We must never forget who we are and where we came from. We are the People of this United States of America and together we must stand.
God Bless America.
