When will Americans start taking care of her?
Published on October 22, 2006 By jesseledesma In Politics
I have been sitting in my stinky cab these last few days looking at all the people coming in from Mexico to the United States thinking if they get it.

I am sure the majority of the people are ignorant of the issues of our time. Many here do have something to say.

However, when you listen to them you can see that all they are doing is regurgitating the old tired democratic “your poor and you need us” lies.

Of course if you ask some of these people about what is going on in America I am sure they will have some very nasty remarks about America and president Bush.

The modern practice is to be as vicious as possible. I am constantly wondering why any sane person would try to build anything in this country through involvement in politics when there are so many people destroying at will.

I said a long time ago that one of the Americans worst problems is there vile, negative, and critical nature.

According to most Americans, nothing works. You name and institution and some one will start trashing it.

This is disheartening. How can America continue if the majority of her citizens are working to destroy her?

Before I encountered Jesus Christ, I hated this country. There are many injustices in this country and many American institutions had mistreated me.

When I became a Christian, God allowed me to see how even this country which has a lot of flaws also offers a lot of good.

Regardless I can say that the attitude of the people I meet troubles me. I have asked myself “why do I love this country so much?”

I was not born here, but I try to get people to respect this country. About three months ago I was thinking about the narrowed minded agenda driven America news media and I told myself ‘if it has to be an all out war for America not perish then I will just have to put on a military uniform and join the fight.”

I am forty years old and my body is falling apart. Even though I feel like I spend my nights sleeping in a radiation bath I have many times been ready to step on the battle feild.

Then I asked myself “why would I go of to die for people who see me as a dirty Mexican?

Ok I appreciate every principal that America stands for, but would I die for the people who criticized me with vulgarity in this Blog?

Would I die for the customs officers who have yelled at me “ I m going to have you and your family removed from this country”?

Would I die for all the people who have chosen weakness and whose major life plan is a government handout?

Would I die for all the people who think they own the road and drive like pigs?

Would I die for all the people who have no true belief in life and only trash the president because they are angry about something that did not work in their life?

Well let me tell you every day I see more and more reasons to keep to myself and not worry so much about what happens in this country.

The only thing that keeps me involved is that I see the suffering that people are going through.

It really is tragic that in a country so blessed by God people make very poor use of all the resources they have.

Its like we have decided that we are just going to disregard the value of everything.

Well let me ask you shall we go dig up George Washington, Ronald Regan, and any other American hero and tell them “you were suckers for having sacrificed”?

I was around seven when I shed my first tear for another person. Shall we go dig up Martin Luther King and tell him “you were wrong for having stood up for the oppressed”?

My short list of great American heroes is very short. It only contains Ronald Regan, Martin Luther King, and Americas current president.

I am very glad that America finally has another president who is willing to stand up for her.

For to long there have been nothing but tail-between-the-leg yahoos who think that socialism is the road to follow.

I am not much of a fan of apologetics either. No other country in history of humanity has done more for the human race than the US of A.

Many owe their existence to the United States of America.

I just wonder when are the people of America going to start taking care of her?
