The world is in trouble.
To start this I guess you have to understand the mindset it comes from. I was raised by a great set of parents that instilled in me the value of knowledge and respect that has long departed the generations that followed. We were taught to work hard and respect the people around us giving an equal treatment to all. My father was a Vietnam Vet, and as a child I watched as people chastised him called him names even while his family was present. I honestly thought that I had seen it all. As kids we grew up all over the place, making friends from the U.S. to Turkey and so on. Our father demanded respect and made sure us kids knew when we were in the wrong. I have had my share of spankings as a child. Both of my parents steered us all in the right direction. You would figure that would not be the case because of the punishment that we received, that in today's world is called abuse. And if I could relive it again I would not change a thing. I have 4 brothers and everyone of them are great men respected by all that know them. My father and mother raised 5 strong independent young men who went on to achieve great things.
Now on to today's world. I do not recognize it at all. I see entitlement in just about every sector. I speak to college students who have no understanding of civics. Most of them cannot tell you the basic civics lessons you were supposed to learn in High School. They take terms like Socialism and add a word like Democratic to the word Socialism and that somehow makes it better. I wonder about this because we have already had one man "Obama" make all those same promises and now our country is going to shit. I heard people say after he was elected "I will never have to make another house payment I will get everything for free". Never happened. Now again we are on the precipice of doing the same shit all over again. Bernie Sanders is the same as Obama, and he will make all kinds of promises that will never happen. Trust me it is mathematically unrealistic. When he "Obama" stated he would change America he did just that. Now we will all have to deal with the fallout from one of the biggest mistakes the American people have made.
People we are in real trouble. Don't take my word for it do the research for yourself. If you are reading this that means you have the world of information at your fingertips. There is no quick fix here, and the real fix will hurt at first, but when you are not beholden to anyone then and only then you are truly free.

Running for President.
I do not know about what most of you will think, but it does not feel like an election season. If you take away the obvious you will see mostly Beltway insiders trying to become President. You also have a couple of so called outsiders trying to get elected to that same office. First off they all sound the same, making promises they will likely keep. Then you have another Clinton vying for the White House with the same amount of baggage as the first. She will probably go to jail long before she is ever elected. Sanders, what can you say about this old Socialist he stands for everything the people of this country do not. But he gets votes from ignorant sheep who follow a message that could never work. We have had a socialist in the White House for 7 years and I think the outcome speaks for itself. O'malley, well he is just cannon fodder. On the Republican side you have a wide range of ideas, no of which will save this country from imploding. You have Trump and Cruz thumping themselves over tedious shit, while most of the others are picking up the scraps from the first two. All of this going on just long enough to take your minds off the coming implosion of the U.S. Economy.
What we need is what we do not have, a person such as Adams, Jefferson, Washington. The very people who foreseen all this uneasiness coming a long time ago. The Constitution is a living breathing idea that Rights given by God shall be protected. There has to be something to that, because we have in just over 200 plus years become a free and prosperous nation of peoples from all over the world sharing that one idea, The American Dream. But that being said the American Dream is coming to an end because we have taken it's ideas out of our schools and our daily lives, and now we have become a Nation of Victims.
The Dream of America is there but most are not willing to fight for it.

Obama's America for 2016
Well the one thing I can see is we will get more of the same in 2016. Big daddy Obama telling all us dumb children he knows what is best for all of us. All of this coming on the heels of an ever failing Economy, binding Regulations that are strangling our businesses. Appeasing Terrorist. And last but not least the black and white divide has come at a price for all of us. We are no longer America we are a country full of fractured peoples. All of the divisiveness that has come about has been done so in the name of Unequal Justice. (well that and burning down of their own neighborhoods to make a point) I can't quite figure that one out. 2016 will be even worse, Obama will go unchecked in making Laws and undermining Congress all together. Even though he has no power to make Laws, that is Congress's job not his or the Courts. The economic strength of this country will be tested along with it's people. All of the paper money holding this house together will bend and break. But they will find a fall guy for that. They damn sure will not blame themselves, even though we have aquired 9 trillion in new debt over 6 years.
In the growing global marketplace, students will need to excel in both math and science to compete internationally as engineers, scientists, physicians, and creative entrepreneurs. Yet, in a 2012 analysis of student performance on the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), the U.S. placed 27th out of 34 countries in math performance and 20th in science performance.
The literacy rates among fourth grade students in America are sobering. Sixty six percent of all U.S. fourth graders scored "below proficient" on the 2013 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) reading test, meaning that they are not reading at grade level.1 Even more alarming is the fact that among students from low-income backgrounds, 80 percent score below grade level in reading.
Reading proficiency among middle school students isn't much better. On the 2013 NAEP reading test, about 22 percent of eighth graders scored below the "basic" level, and only 36 percent of eighth graders were at or above grade level.
The U.S. ranks fifth in spending per student. Only Austria, Luxembourg, Norway, and Switzerland spend more per student. To put this in context: the Slovak Republic, which scores similarly to the U.S., spends $53,000 per student. The U.S. spends $115,000. The PISA report notes that, among OECD countries, “higher expenditure on education is not highly predictive of better mathematics scores in PISA.
The ones that are doing better will shock you.
Parts of China, Singapore, Japan, Korea, and Liechtenstein topped the rankings for math, reading, and science. Finland, which is often pointed to as an example of an excellent school system, continued to perform well. However, the country dropped 2.8 points in math, 1.7 points in reading, and three points in science in “annualized changes in score points,” which are the “average annual change in PISA score points since the country’s earliest participation in PISA.”
The biggest annualized score improvements came from Brazil, Tunisia, Mexico, Turkey, and Portugal. Italy, Poland, and Germany also showed gains since 2003.
I figure if we do not change this we will become that 3rd world country that we all talk about. What we have to do is fight to get our country back. And if you do not have the guts to do so, well you will find out what it is like living with nothing.
A once great and powerful and enlightened nation will fall due to Political Correctness and a Cultish Religion. Our students will be continually dumbed down to accept their Masters. Our Government will continue its gradual take over and will control it's sheep through fear and intimidation. All while we stand back and say nothing.
