If I could give the peoples response to the State of the Union;

I come before this august body with a heavy heart.  We are on the cusp of a great change in America, one that will have a lasting effect on our children and on those who come after them.  We the American people have lost the will to be the leader of the free world.  We have become a pawn of the United Nations rather than the leader of nations. We find ourselves floundering in the wake of those countries that would do us harm.  The spirited soul of America has become the dim light of socialism.  This only took a few years to accomplish but should not be much of a surprise to those who stood by and watched it happen.  The people of the United States found that they could fill their life's needs through the coffers of the treasury and at this point over 50% are on some type of benefit program that they selfishly call an entitlement.  I'm not speaking of the Social Security or Medicare programs as these were paid for by those who receive their benefit.  I refer to the  expanded welfare programs that have become a replacement for work for many.  Generations of  family's find comfort in their benefits at the expense of the working class, a class however that is shrinking substantially by the day.  No one I know begrudges giving a family in need a hand up as the welfare program was intended to do.  But now we have a zillion other agencies who give away our money daily to those who have no desire to join the workforce.  Free Housing for life, free cash, free phones, free food, free clothing, free education, free medical just to name a few.  These freebies add up to more than I make in a year yet I have to pay for them and still support my own family.  The graft and corruption that has been allowed to permeate these programs has added a stench of death to our great country.

How can this be fixed; It does little good to talk about all our woes without offering a fix for the long term.  First before we can fix a problem we have to understand it's cause.  America is not just a country, we'll use the name the United States for that.  America is a way of life that has been developed over generations.  Americans rallied to the cause in WWII, we built an industrial complex that dominated the world.  We offered our lives to the people of Europe and the South Pacific.  We didn't ask for anything in return other than their loyalty and friendship.  Very few waited for the draft to call their number, most stood in long lines at the various recruiting stations.  We were the shining beacon on the mountain of freedom for the world.  When Korea came along two things were very different, we knew we were fighting a political ideology for a divided country.  Few knew anything about the Korean Peninsula and even less about the political ramifications of communism.  Fathers who had returned from WWII had little desire to see their sons and daughters become involved with this police action and the press was extremely adversary to the war.  Thus the birth of the anti war movement that became the Hippy culture, that has evolved into the liberal society we find running the country today.  Viet Nam replicated the same type of political involvement as Korea and only built a bigger wall between the youth and the establishment.  Our politics and our patriotism changed rapidly, it was no longer considered an honor the serve by the youth of the 60's they openly defied the government which led to many confrontations in the streets of the United States. These kids were taught that Americans were imperialistic and drained other countries of the wealth.  The young hippies were now being taught by the past generation who started the anti war movement and the drug culture that went with the lack of parental guidance that accompanied the movement.  Parenting as it was known in the world prior to the 60's was nowhere to be found, parents who cared found themselves faced with the Dr. Spock culture that destroyed any thought of disciplinary action and in fact passed laws against physical discipline even by parents. 

How do we get back to the American way of life?  How do we instill pride in our country when our teachers and professors are brainwashing our kids with Anti Americanism and a liberal slant on the world?

The United States has been attacked from inside by well place moles whose only job in life is to keep the fires of Socialism burning in the hearts of our youth.  They have done this quietly over the years by using the education system to infiltrate the American way of life through the children of America.  They have lied, cheated and coerced their way into the politics of America to ensure their future.  They have taught Americans to expect their government to provide everything and have done so using our money to bribe the population into submission. 

The answer lies in the money, the government has no money of its own and must rely on we the people for its cash.  Cut off the money and you destroy the fuel of socialism.  This November we have what is called a midterm election and it can be the start of the recovery.  We can elect an entirely new group that has the moral character to stand firm and be resolute in their beliefs.  We can work together to shrink the size of government and bring back industry to American workers.  We can quit buying those things that are made in China and other adversary nations and replace them with ours and other friendly nations products.   We can reinstate the draft not for just military but to spend 2 years working to help those in need in our own county.  Like a Peace Core but at home in poverty areas.  Some can be teachers through a mentoring program for slower students others may intern in government and other industries that are growing rapidly in the new economy.  Where else can we expect our future leaders to come from? Lets give these new leaders a chance to live and understand what the American Dream and the American way of life is all about.  If we fail they will fall farther into the dark hole of socialism expecting all things to be provided.
