Politics in America

You know, after many years of watching America's political scene keep spiraling downward, I wonder, what kind of country am I handing off to my children? There are so many reasons why America is in rapid decline, that I cannot even list them all right now. My personal top five reasons, however, I will discuss over the next week, although not in any specific order.



First, let's take political correctness. Let's face it, by ensuring that we don't offend anyone, we are breeding neutered citizens. As a country, we put so much effort into ensuring that no one is offended, we hardly have time for anything else! What ever happened to personal responsibility? If you don't like something, don't do it! But, on the same token, don't take my right to do it away from me, or from anyone else that wants to continue the behavior!



Of course, I am speaking specifically on the use of the word God, prayer in school, etc. I understand that you may not believe as I do, and don't feel that you or your children should be subjected to what you think is nonsense. However, is it right to deny me or my children the right to pray in school?

Believe me, I fully support anyone's right not to be subjected to anything they do not like or want. I even make sure that I don't smoke near non-smokers. Why should their health suffer, just because of my bad habit?

That being said, just because I, or anyone else, believes in God, or prayer, then why take that right away from them?

Rest assured, there will be more to follow.
