A divided country is an unstable
country, which also makes us a vulnerable country. This makes us prone to attacks from
both the inside and the outside. We must, in this new era we are embarking on
ask ourselves…is this the kind of nation we want to live in? Unless we make a
move to stand together, we will fall apart together. Like it or not our
election is over, and like spilled milk it will not help by crying over it. It’s
time to clean up the mess and move on as one nation.
No matter
how you voted, what you believe in, or what side you claim to be on, protesters
do have the right to peacefully protest things they don’t believe in. Peacefully is the key word here.
Turning over cars, burning things, and violence does not fall into that category.
When you as protesters go from peaceful to violent or aggressive you lose your
credibility and you at that instantly become a criminal.
If you as a
protester want to be heard and not arrested, take the time to write a letter to
your local newspaper, your congressman, or even your state representative. Your
voice will be heard by many more that way rather than blocking freeways and
causing destruction. For those of you stomping the American flag and kneeling
during the Star Spangle Banner…really? For one, most of the nation doesn’t even
know why you are kneeling in the first place, and the rest don’t care. You are now seen as disrespectable to those
that fought to give you the right to live free. If you didn’t understand
that part read it again.
For those of you waving flags of
other countries, go back to those countries. We already have a flag here and we don’t need another
one. If the places you came from are so great, then why are you here? Maybe you
miss the Sinaloa raiding your little girl’s birthday party, and killing
everyone inside. Or, maybe some of you miss the sounds of bombs blowing up and
the children screaming in the night. If that is the case, we will certainly
help you get back to the land you love. You are one plane ticket away from
happiness and bliss.
The path to
a better nation runs through all of us. All groups, clubs, races, religions,
etc., must lead the way and be an example.
Start now.
