I just completed a canoe trip with six other women in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area, Ely, Minnesota. More on that later, but for now, something more urgent is on my mind.
We are United States Americans; citizens of a Sovereign Country. We have more of the world's wealth than perhaps we 'deserve' but I say "We Earned It." And I believe that you know what I just wrote (We Earned It) is true.
How did we earn it? We refused to become stagnated by any political or religious or lack thereof system. Democracy is a "work in progress" and not an "end to itself" (would someone explain that in American English to the Progressive and Liberal Democrats??) The United States grew into what she is today. Some of the growth we currently have seems questionable (maybe like a cancer?), yet as a Nation we continue to be Sovereign (unless the Illegal Aliens are given amnesty and unless the North American Union becomes a reality) and we continue to be a Nation of laws and a Nation which cares about others.
How did we earn it? We refused to accept any leadership which would carry us backwards intellectually, educationally, philosophically, or philanthropically. We rejected the idea of a "King/Queen" or a "Supreme Leader" or a "Caliphate" or a "god-like leader." We elect our officials. (Now, to be elected, many if not most elected or appointed officials end up compromising themselves for money because it costs a lot to get elected or be appointed in the Representative Democracy of the USofA. I'm saddened that this is true. It is a "fact" of life, however. What saddens me more is watching Congress vote themselves pay raises every year, pay for life, a non-SSA retirement system, etc. that puts them out of touch with the voting electorate.)
However, we have earned our status in the World and on the Earth and we should not be expected by anyone -- either a poorer populace in another Country or a liberal Congressperson -- to agree to share our wealth. Especially to share our wealth without any accountability. We have to put up with Congressional spending without accountability and that's about all the voters can tolerate. In fact, it's more than most of us can tolerate. We don't like seeing US dollars spent on people or in Countries without any limits or proof that the money is being spent as directed.
Are we tired of the War on Terror? Are we tired of the War in Iraq? Are we tired of the War in Afghanistan?
Yes, but not nearly as tired as we are of elected officials taking advantage of their office to line their pockets, to hide their illegal or extralegal activities, to lie, to cheat, to steal for their own benefit. And then to turn on Legal Citizens of the United States and try to manipulate us to their agendas.
The Democrats cannot hide the truth about Norman Hsu. There is no way to "murder him off" in a Democrat fashion. The guilty parties have no where to hide.
We have earned our wealth and we want a complete and truthful explanation from the Democrats about Norman Hsu's donations to them. All Four Million plus.
