A true American Patriot!

An excerpt from/about Lee Iacocca's new book!


I think he is dead on, and it is scary! I am afraid that it may be within my lifetime that (and possibly very soon) the time will come that all red blooded American Patriots will have the responsibility and duty to exercise our 2nd amendment right to 'Fix' our government! It seems that our government is beginning to get too big for its britches. As more and more people rely on government welfare programs the government itself gains more power OVER its people when the power is supposed to come FROM its people. If we as a nation continue to ask more and more that our government to take care of us as individuals and as we begin to expect it to do so we will soon no longer be a democracy! We will become an autocracy headed for monarchy! History has told us that socialism and its brethren don't work in practice and that totalitarian rule only begets greed and lust for more power which is a self destructive cycle all its own! History has also shown us that true democratic societies only have a shelf life of about 200 years as citizens move into comfort that their government CAN take care of them to complacency that their government is taking care of them to the need for their government TO take care of them, to total dependency at which point the government does not belong to the people, the people belong to the government! Our democracy was started 232 yeas ago, and with the information age moving everything along faster and faster, we have thus far 'beat' the 'shelf life' of democracy, however, we (as a society in general) have definitely become 'complacent' and I fell that we are moving ever closer, dangerously close, to dependency! unfortunately there are many who not only disagree with this, but are directly opposed to this 'theory'. We, as a nation/society/democracy cannot afford further complacency! We must act. This is possibly the most important election this country has seen (certainly the most important that my generation has seen) and I am gravely afraid that the country will make the wrong choice and that this great nation will come crumbling down, and that I will be here to see it...
