Where has my country gone?



I was born during the Reagan Administration in the great year of 1984. I guess you could say I had a good life so far. I mean I can't really complain. Like most people I have seen good times and bad times, gotten in a little bit of trouble, had my share of heartbreak, and even been involved in some pretty cool things. And until now, until this very day, I had no regrets.

You see I was watching the news and they were doing a story on the Democratic Presidential Primaries and how pivotal each state is now, and I couldn't help but ask my self, "What happened to the Democrats?" I should first tell you I have never been a Democrat and well I tend to lean a little right on some issues but am more moderate then anything else. I have no political affiliation, the only thing I ask of my fellow Americans is to use your mind. Oh well back to the point, This week the attacks between Obama and Clinton seem to have gotten worse and Spitzer getting caught trying to "frisk" her I had to ask myself what has happened to the Democratic Party of the past? While I sat at my desk pondering this conundrum I was only brought to a much more pressing question, where has my country gone?

I mean in the 23 years and counting I have been alive it has really changed and I am really distressed by what I am seeing. I listen to stories on the news about Universal Health Care and immigration and I realized we are letting our country be hijacked by a group of people that want to subvert our Constitution and replace it with a Socialist Canon. I can't help but wonder why no one is stepping up, and I mean really stepping up, and saying something about this. I mean sure there are people on the radio and TV that whine about our freedoms being taken away and what not, but where are the large demonstrations and rallies against the 'Socialization' of our country. I mean we had massive rallies over immigration.... We are slowly letting fringe elements take over our country and I just don't know how much longer America can take it.

We have strayed from what we are supposed to be, what we were founded on. Our country is lost and I for one am going to find it.
