America or American't?

When did we become a nation that settled for a step above the worst? has our society declined so much we have lost the national identity that once made us strong? I argue yes. Medicricy is the currency of the day. My favortite example is in sports. Take a football team that absolutely crushes another team by at least 30 points. The winning coach is going to come to the interview and say the other team 'is a great team'...blah blah blah. If they were so great why did you win by so much?

Schools teach our children that finishing last is ok. Bull! There is no reason on God's green earth why anyone should want or accept their child finishing last in anything. Current generations of Americans are a poor representation of what made this country great. Take away what happened to the Indian tribes- because that happened everywhere in the world- men and women came here and MADE this a country. They took what the wanted and didn't settle for anything less than total freedom. The British learned this lesson from us twice the hard way.

And our children are taught how wrong it was to do what we did. How wrong it was for slavery to happen, how we still have to feel like we need to atone for the sins of the fathers. Guess what, slavery has existed since the beginning of time. Why doesn't anyone else get persecuted for it? Don't get me wrong, the act of slavery is abhorrable and a stain on humanity, but it doesn't solely belong to America.

Everything today is I can't. My children don't even try to do their homework before I hear I can't. They don't even try to make their own beds before I hear I can't. The media punishes successful men and women who just happen to be more successful than others. How is that a crime? The beauty of this nation is that every single person has the ability to try to make a name for themselves. The only thing keeping them back is laziness and sloath.

We're not Americans anymore, we are American'ts. Disgusting.
