Americans Hating America Is Not Going To Help

Many people were easily seduced by the rhetoric of the current president. He promised that 95% of Americans would get a tax cut if he was elected. He promised a stimulus plan that would save American industry and put people back to work. He promise he would reduce healthcare cost and make healthcare affordable. He also promised America would regain her good reputation among the people of the world again. In addition, he promised solar energy would flourish and help America solve her energy concerns.

However, today we see is that all this president has done is attack the American way of life. During the beginning of his national political career, this president spoke badly of American business people. He was of the impression that Wall Street caused the problem and business people needed to be reigned in

We have had to listen to the rhetoric that successful people didn’t “built it”, implying that if it was not for infrastructure none of the successful would of succeeded. Doesn’t this president realize that successful people pay the majority of taxes? Therefore, they paid for the infrastructure and did “build it”.

I have had two interesting conversations. One was with a business owner who is trying to establish his business in Mexico. I told him, as I tell everyone, that all Mexicans got together and decided to destroy their country. Mexicans accomplished this destruction with their apathy and immoral and unethical behavior such as bribing police and bribing tax collectors.

I warned this person that America is at the same crossroad that led Mexicans to choose “doing their own thing because everyone else is corrupt’. Today, many Americans have a bad attitude about politicians, businesses, and the American way of life.

The other man was from Belgium. He told me that he came to America because he did not like having to settle for what Socialism offered. For example, Socialism offers a one-bedroom apartment. He wanted to live in a mansion. Therefore, he came to a country were a person could have what he or she is willing to work for in life.

I know that the agenda driven liberal news has brainwashed many into hating their own country. I write a lot about choosing a Positive attitude over a Negative attitude. The negative view that many have of their own country is because this liberal media has convinced them that America is a bad place.

This idea of a “bad America’ is reinforced by life. Many people are trying to work and coming up empty. This reinforces the idea that America is bad. News of political corruption reinforces the idea that America is bad. Road Rage and our neighbor leaving his or her garbage can loose so it can be tossed around by the wind and litter the neighborhood reinforces the idea America is bad. Everyone of our personal failures reinforces the idea that America is bad.

Therefore, “Everything sucks. Nothing works. Why bother?” is the prevailing attitude? After my conversation with one of the men, one said that it was hard to believe that “one vote” could make a difference. It appeared to me that this man was trying to excuse his apathy. The person who came from a Socialist experience knew exactly what I was talking about that day.

If we spend our time looking at the bad, we will enter that dark corner of despair and hopelessness. I know we wanted the idea of getting an education and finding a high paying career to work out. That is the reason I got a college degree.

However, to a certain extent America does not work. Employers have a very poor attitude towards their workers. Citizens have a poor attitude about their fellow citizens.

I believe that a person should use his or her creativity and be innovative in finding a good income. However, many employers treat their employees like slaves. They work these employees around the clock without a set schedule. It is impossible to manage a life when you do not know when you are going to have to work.

Moreover, people who were displaced did not loose their industry knowledge. For a time I thought people could be private consultants. The truth is that buyers of consultant services pay to little.

Therefore, being creative and innovative runs you into a wall of poor attitude, harsh working conditions, and low pay. It is almost as if it is not worth trying.

The first Americans did not have it easy. They had to start from scratch. There were no “shovel ready jobs” to rely on in their day.

Yet, out of nothing these first Americans laid the foundation for the greatest country in the world. Then the liberal news media spent many decades working at killing the American Spirit.

Now people do not believe in them selves and they do not believe in their country. This lack of respect for the American way of life is not going to get us far.

There is no problem with:”personal responsibility” and “self-reliance”. Freedom, Liberty, and Indolence have fueled innovation and creativity since the beginning of the American experience.

You are right that there is a lot wrong in life. It is even true that a lot does not work.

I have to ask. Do you work? Do you have the ability to “think”, “organize”, “plan”, and “act”? Can you be Optimistic, Positive, and Realistic even when things look bleak?

Life is not about lamenting broken promises. Life is about making the best out of what you have, even when you find your self in difficult circumstances.

The American experience is great and simple. People find a way to afford and enjoy life. Government respects the taxpayer by keeping taxes low and administrating the people’s money honestly. The people make sure government does what is supposed to in life. We are failing. Government is falling. However, the only people we can control are our selves. Therefore, we have to will our selves to be people who can see the good in ourselves, have a positive attitude about work, work, and keep politicians in line.

Life is attitude. Attitude is related to perception. A major reason many believe ‘everything sucks. Nothing works. Why bother?” is because the liberal news has convinced them all these things are true.
