Why America Is Doomed! (Unless We Change) [Part 1]

Try this simple experiment at home and follow along. Take a mirror and place the reflective side facing you. What do you see?

Hopefully you see your reflection and what is behind you.

Now step to a window and look out. What do you see?

You see the world outside. If you stand just right you can see a faint reflection behind you but mostly you see outward. You see other people. They are looking in and on a cold blistery day they wish they were where you are.

In both cases you are merely looking through a piece of glass. The only difference is one is lined with silver and doesn’t allow you to see past it.

When you are facing the mirror and reflecting on who you are, what you have and where you are, the only people that can see this image are those standing with you on the reflecting side. To take this analogy a bit further, imagine trying to drive and navigate a roadway facing a mirror. You would have to peek past the side of the mirror to safely traverse the roadway. The more you watch behind you and admire your own image the more dangerous this exercise becomes. It is hard to move forward if you can’t see where you are going

Now step back to the window. If it opens please open it. Without the glass you can see out, you can see forward, but the outside pests enter the house to bother you, some are benign, some are disease carriers and they all multiply at a faster rate than you do. So you put up a screen. It is porous and keeps pests out unless there is a hole in that screen and they will find the slightest hole, but the cold winds and inclement weather is still let in causing your energy usage to increase.

Now think about what would happen if you opened all your doors and windows and let everyone in. The nicer the place you live in, the more people would want to live there, but at certain point the condition of the residence starts to deteriorate and living conditions become intolerable, but you can’t evict because someone said it wrong to deny those less fortunate a place to reside.

China has a 50-year plan. America gets a 100-day plan (that flops). America’s plans are based on what’s good for the political parties not the Country as a whole. Our plans are formulated on ever changing polls instead of long-range plans. The tenets of our Republic have taken a back seat to money grubbing for control. It isn’t what the people need or what the country needs but what the lobbyists and the mainstream media says they need.

Americans are looking in that mirror instead of installing windows and doors. Greed, be it corporate or individual will be the ruination of America. Liberal education and media have skewed our value system. Where subversives have learned to use our system of freedoms against us and now use our tax dollars to teach their fanaticism in charter schools, we sit idly by reflecting on how good we look and what we have accomplished in the past. We have invited the seditionists inside our walls like the City of Troy invited that infamous horse and we will suffer the same fate.

    Dear Alex, what if you run out of Americans, via Liberalism, immigration and cultural exhaustion? I hope not, but there is much gainst and dragging on the Republic and here in Australia too…

    Colonel
    In a lot of ways Australia’s situation is similar. You have the environuts that refuse to let you build nuclear power plants, your population is exploding due to immigrants, and your leader seems to tied to China. The major difference here is so far they haven’t been able to take our guns away.
