What America Has become And Who Is To Blame

By : Matt Winkeljohn – http://www.resistthetyranny.com

It is no secret that if our founders could see us today, they would be rolling over in their graves.

America has never been more lost to tyranny than it is today.  We are no longer “the land of the free and home of the brave,” we lost that title long ago.

There is no shortage of evidence that proves we are no longer free and that tyrants have taken over this country.

The majority of Americans, these days, are willfully ignorant to the crimes, greed and corruption that happens right under their noses.

There is no individuality anymore.  There is no pride in being smart or standing up for what is right.  Collectivism and compliance has taken over.

Americans today are more worried about the football game, Dancing With The Stars, and which political bandwagon they can jump on in order to make themselves feel like they are right and pretend they are making a difference.  Most Americans are so self absorbed and narcissistic, that most people can’t stand to be around them anymore.

When people do happen to take a minute to stop patting themselves on the back and actually try to catch up on some “news,” they turn the channel to their favorite bias mainstream news talking heads and soak it all in as if it was the truth.

I have got some real news for you.  If Barack Obama was a Republican and running this country in to the ground, as he is, FOX News wouldn’t have one single bad thing to say about him.  MSNBC and CNN would be all over Obama, just like FOX is right now.  A good example is, look at the Bush years.  CNN and MSNBC couldn’t say enough bad things about him.  Now that a Democrat (Obama) is in office and doing the same things Bush did, but worse, not one negative peep out of the liberal talking heads.

There is no difference between the two major political parties or their perspective news channels.  But most Americans don’t want to hear that, they are too busy cheering for “their team.”

What has the political ignorance and the apathy of this country gotten us?  Let’s start with the easy ones that every one seems to just comply with, no matter how much they don’t like it.

• Federal personal income tax
• State & local income taxes
• Sales tax
• Property tax
• Fuel/gasoline tax

That is just the easy list.  By the way, our founders revolted for far less than that.

Here is the short list of the things you may not have thought about.

• Accounts Receivable Tax

None of which were around 100 years ago..and that was the short list..I didn’t even get in to the fees, fines and possible jail time if you don’t pay those taxes!  Still feeling free?

We have police on the street, murdering innocent people.  We have an out of control and over reaching government.  We have one of the highest cancer rates and it is increasing every day.  Our literacy rate is shameful.  Our school systems more closely resemble indoctrination prisons than they do a learning environment.  White people are being called racist because they supported a Mexican in a self defense case and black people are being called racist if they don’t like the black president.  Americans who talk about the Constitution are labelled terrorists.  It is okay for the NSA to spy on you without a warrant but if you film a cop in public, he beats you up and arrests you.  There is poisons and chemical weapons in your food and water.  And worst of all… No one is ever held accountable for any of it!

Am I the only one who sees a problem here!!??

America has become a slime filled pool of ignorance, apathy and self indulgence.  There is more loyalty and honesty among beasts in the wild, than you will find in your average American.

So sit back, relax, turn on your favorite mainstream talking head and pay closer attention to the football statistics, than what actually makes a difference in your life and this country.

When this country falls, remember, when you are placing blame and pointing your self righteous finger at one political party or another, the only place you have to look for blame, is in the mirror.
