"American Dreams"

As I look out my front window I see a peaceful street lined with trees, well kept homes and well maintained lawns; this is the kind of place many people call home in this wonderful and amazing country. I spent many years working hoping that one day I could cut my own lawn and shovel my own snow. Living in small town America I've found the dream that my Dad had always talked about. He often told me he wanted to live in a place where you could hear the crickets chirp. There are few places on this planet where a person can have the possibility of not only chasing their dreams, but actually catching them. America promises the pursuit of happiness, not a guarantee, a chance to try. No nation on earth has more success stories then the United States of America. If I began listing names the volumes could fill a library. We all know about Trump ,Turner, Forbes, and Gates, yet there are thousands more who have become doctors, judges, educators, and entertainers. All of them can thank the promise of America for their success. Recently five Americans were taken into custody in Pakistan when they were attempting to join Al Qaida. We must ask ourselves why Americans are attempting to join a terrorist organization that is our nations avowed enemy. What perversion has taken place in this land of promise?On 911 we were brutally attacked by this group of fascist Muslims, and now we are faced with the enigma of Americans wishing to aid those affiliated with those same thugs. Has political correctness gone so far over the edge that we now are practically urging our populous to be sympathetic to the very people who wish to see their homes burnt and their children murdered. Radical Islam is our enemy, perhaps this is not a popular statement, but it is true and the sooner we face facts the better off our nation will be. I don't have any problems with anyone, regardless of their race or religious background, who come to America in search of the dream that this country provides. I have major problems with those who come here to subjugate our laws and pursue the destruction of the American way of life. During the first 11 months of the Obama administration our president has been on an apology tour to the world telling every person in ear shot how sorry we are for defending our nation. In reality after 911 we suffered no further domestic attacks from radical Islamists, something we can all thank George Bush for, a show of strength is always the best deterrent to terror. I believe Mr. Obama's apology tour has to bear some of the responsibility for this appearance of home grown terrorists. He has projected a feeling of American guilt to our people, thus validating those who hold perverse ideas to act on them. As Americans we must face the fact that the man who sits in the White House is more interested in being a citizen of the world then maintaining the United States in a place of prominence as leader of freedom in a world that is rapidly turning toward a one world government. The fact that we are treating war criminals as common law breakers is a sign of our softening so we can appear more lenient toward aggression. If this shift continues very soon we will not be America much longer, we will become an extension of the United Nations. At times we need to say we are America, those who don't like us are free to leave at any time, try Venezuela I hear they have a nice climate!
