Are you listening

I woke up angry and frustrated. My own fault. Once again I was shouting into the wind. I know that it is a fruitless thing to do yet I persist. I do hope that some words reach the ears of those upwind. I will not allow that mistake, on my part, to control my day. I will just forge on. I did unburden some of the negativity that was residing inside me. It is of benefit to vent. I forgive those that attack my character in their debate. The lack of knowledge on their part causing that action. Perhaps they are just misinformed.
I was baited into this discussion and it is my own fault for falling prey. Others are certainly entitled to their opinions, even when they are wrong ! I should just remain calm, but I don't. I react. There are certain things I am passionate about. My country is one of them. I get upset when others wish to post things about other countries, " getting things right " and the United States is wrong. I do subscribe to the premise, Love It or Leave It. If you wish to live in a socialist society you are free to do so. go! That is ,of course, if that socialist country is accepting of you. That may not be the case you know. It is a little thing we in America call, freedom. I, for one, will not sacrifice my freedom for a free lunch ! Maybe you think it is worth it.
Well, I'm over it, for now. Soon I get to vote again and I will vote for a different approach to the social issues we face. It is all I can do, and it is a civic duty. I do my best to stay informed and make decisions based on the facts. A socialist approach has steadily crept into our society. It concerns me deeply. The country I love is being invaded, from within. Many scholars have predicted this would happen. We live in what was designed as a constitutional republic. Democracy is the word thrown about but it is not accurate. Democracy is nothing more than mob rule. The fifty one overruling the 49. That isn't the way a constitutional republic works. Look it up. Socialism has failed over and over again. That is all history. Our nation has prospered and we enjoyed unprecedented growth. That was during the Republic era. Now that era is under attack and socialism is creeping in. Already we can see and measure the effect it is having upon our republic. What will it take ? Occasionally I will shout into that wind maybe someone will hear.
