OPINION:
America’s self-inflicted wound of betrayal stinks to high heaven. We disregard our country’s cry for help as its president shoves the needle of death deeper into its arm. A people uneducated on how to preserve freedom for all have become lazy and indifferent to the acts this government has done to smear our nation’s good name.
Every day, we move closer and closer to this republic’s early demise. The deceivers have taken control through their well-oiled propaganda machine. Like a puzzle, each piece is carefully put into place with lies and ambiguous speeches intended to overwhelm the small minds of a once-intelligent people. What became of the individuals who questioned the actions of their government? When are we going to awaken from this stupor of ignorance? We have become wimps and as the bully kicks sand in our faces, we cower in fear.
Meanwhile, those we elected to serve us give themselves 20% pay raises, throw lavish parties, buy liquor on our dime and more. The military takes the same oath as these buffoons on the Hill but with one difference: The armed forces are not in it for the money or power, but to defend this nation with their lives if need be.
