The Life and Death of a Nation

I have tried to hold my tong but not for very long
to watch them play their games must be wrong
Like waiting for paint to dry as the world goes by
while animated followers laugh cheer and cry
Not one iota of truth seems to follow their spoof
just turn on your TV if you want living proof
Has the world gone mad we can't see what we had
that's been taken away by the folk that are bad

It's all about drama with the president Obama
thinks his climb to fame is some sort of karma
That (rich) moron Mit can be one selfish twit
poor would get poorer you better believe it
From what I can fathom the worlds in a chasm
there's no way to proceed lest China has them
Which way should we turn how can we all learn
reinvent the old wheel before we all burn

America claims right for it has all the might
the power and the glory to win any fight
Don't get elated the world knows they are hated
their power game has proved far overrated
As in times gone by people lived and they died
and no one could stop it as hard as they tried
Just do as you please while down on your knees
it wont be too long till you burn or just freeze

------
If you listen to me long enough I can lower your IQ

I came into this world with nothing,
through careful management I've got most of it left.

Subtle

I am assuming the use of Tong Lest and Karma were a bit too subtle here..... But I reckon China has got the states on the run....

Oh well back to the drawing board

King Obama
I've looked into some of the supposedly "smart" things that Obama has said in the last 6 years and come to realize he is a very immature, selfish twit.

Now, Romney probably has his share of gaffs too, who doesn't. But when Obama says nothing about the riots in Egypt, Syria and other places where our embassy people are killed -- he didn't even mention their names, just went on campaigning in Nevada.

He just does not get it. I'll vote for Romney all day before Obama. I'd vote for a trained parrot riding a poodle before I'd vote for Obama.

The Life and Death of a Nation
Hi Brian

Thanks for looking in...

Maybe America has been helping too many hapless people without making sure that their own (American) aspirations are met.... I think not

The basic rule is "Divide and Conquer" is that not simple enough guide for those in Power in America to grasp? or is there an ulterior motive?

What has been happening.... America has been spending much time effort and money being involved in world problems without taking full control of the final outcome or making sure the "Ground Rules" are set in concrete.....is just not true

See... America is smart and these "Little Rebellions" (embassy attacks etc) give America full license to step in and and get involved in the management of those countries over and over again...

World Policeman.... you bet

However the Super Rich could be getting their balancing act a little screwed in America itself and cant balance the books to keep its own populace "Happy"

America can not remain a place for "The American Dream" if this only comes true for tiny minority. There will be unrest that will kill off America from the inside all by itself

Only the news knows
The fact that most people, even Americans, get their opinions from the screwed up liberal media outlets around the world means that 90% don't know what "the American Dream" is, or was. The dream was not that you can come to this country and open a business and make money, be successful. The dream was that you are free to do whatever you want, regardless, as long as (1) you don't harm, rip off, or ruin anyone else's dream and (2) you abide by the laws as written.

Now the American dream is "We are the richest country in the world but we still have poverty and racism and blah, blah. Our government should be able to take care of our needs." So, now we have bigger and bigger gov'mint programs

I pay 4 different taxes for my internet, phone, and television services so that "Poor" people can have free cell phone, internet and television -- in Arizona they call it "Arizona Access" program. I also comes with free medical treatment and presriptions, large college grants and the monthly free-stuff-at-the-store card, used to be called food stamps but that stigmatizes people, now they have some snappy little name for it.

No, I think the problem is that we don't have leaders in America that are proud to say we are a "super power" and that we can and should influence other struggling countries, if they want our help they should be willing to bring something to the table.

what a rant, eh?

The American Dream

To be honest a dream an imaginary happening.

Daydreaming in school used to be a punishable offense.

When it comes down to facts.....

No matter how strong you are..... Piss too many people off and you are in for a rough ride.

Which doesn't equate to how so few so rich can rule so many....... Must be very very bloody clever people to do that...... or just liars.

This is not my dig at America...... I see the same happening all over the world....

Fortunately I remain a "Happy Chappy" somewhere down the lower end of the pile..... and let them get on with it.

Thanks for looking in again Brian...... if you know where they sell the magic underpants let me know
