How we change

It has been 2 months since my last post, and there is a reason. Instead of delivering daily doom as I was before, I decided to use this as a platform to express my thoughts in general, about our society here in the United States of America. We are not as United as we think.

This past weekend was my 20 year high school reunion, and I had a blast. I remember the entire evening, and that's more than I can say for some of my friends. One thing that should never take place after a mass consumption of alcohol, are discussions regarding politics, but it happened, and one thing my friend said to me really stuck out. He called me a name, he called me a extreme right winger. In order for me to write this, I needed to get a summary, or comparison if you will of left vs. right so here it is from Wilkipedia:

The left–right political spectrum is a common way of classifying political positions, political ideologies, or political parties along a one-dimensional political spectrum. The perspective of Left vs. Right is a dialectical interpretation of complex questions. Left-wing politics and right-wing politics are often presented as polar opposites, and although a particular individual or party may take a left-wing stance on one matter and a right-wing stance on another, the terms left and right are commonly used as if they described two globally opposed political families. In France, where the terms originated, the Left is called "the party of movement" and the Right "the party of order".[1]

Traditionally, the Left includes progressives, social liberals, social democrats, socialists, communists and anarchists.[2][3][4][5] The Right includes conservatives, reactionaries, capitalists, monarchists, nationalists and fascists.[6] End of summary.

So here I am being called names by a Extreme Left winger, and he is a lawyer as well. Being a lawyer, he feels based on education, and job description to have the upper hand when it comes to arguing, however, at no point did he dispute the facts I presented. If I am considered extremely right wing so be it, one classification that was not in the description above was "Constitutionalist". I am for America, I served in the military, to protect our country from all enemies foreign and domestic. Now that I am no longer in the military, I feel it is my right, and duty to still hold true to the values set forth by our founding fathers, and I intend to do so. Right now, unannounced to the masses is an assault on our constitution by the people that took an oath to uphold it. As someone rises through the ranks in the Tea Party, video surfaces trying to knock them down. Dirty politics and character assassinations are in full swing, and it is this nonsense behavior that is growing old in my mind.

The supreme court is being staffed with life long extreme left wingers that fall under the title of Socialists. The White house is staffed with people that are also deemed Socialists in the belief that more government, more spending, less citizen control, and more social equality are what is needed as time goes on. The point I stressed to my friends was this: If social equality means that the haves are required to give to the have nots, at what point does the person who is being stripped of his money, property, rights, and identity stand up and take back what is rightfully his? There was no answer. I said you stand up when it's already too late, and at that point you are considered extreme right winged like me.

I'm not a bad guy, and I was never political until the last few years when I started to fully understand what politics really is! It is the WWF only instead of throwing chairs and wearing spandex, it's well dressed people, battling to make it look like they are working for you. It is simply entertainment, except I no longer find it entertaining. As our financial obligations begin to take a toll on the economy, in a way that I feel is beyond repair, the only thing I see coming is a revolution. I'm not calling for violence, or blood in the streets, but I feel that it is inevitable at this point, and I'm actually afraid of what's to come. I know this is long, but I feel it is necessary, As the Democrats scramble to discredit the Tea Party etc... before the onslaught of midterms get ready for the resurgence of "Terror". An October surprise, in the form of an attack will cause a rally cry around the White House in an attempt to secure, what the Democrats are losing, and that is the support of the American people If the attack takes place, banks will close, there will be lines for food, and violence. I hope I am wrong, but I do not think I am, and when I'm standing next to the man that was once raking in $200,000 a year in a bread line, I will no longer have the freedom of speech to say "I told you so".
