We always had
interesting discussions as most brought their experience to class to contribute
to our economic lessons. A few detracted from it with their unruly and
disrespectful behavior. It was a bit too late to teach social manners to the two
young black women who always arrived late, answered their phones in the
classroom, and left often for bathroom breaks but returned with sodas,
hamburgers, and fries from the nearby bowling alley.
Everyone was
hungry, most students did not get a chance to get supper but some were patient
enough to wait for the large break between the three-hour long classes before
they bought food.
The two
women, who wanted an A just by showing up for class, asked provocative
questions such as, why does our textbook separate everybody by groups, age,
disability, education, race, when giving economic statistics? Can we all not be
just Americans, men and women? The fact that most textbooks are written by
liberal college professors and are chosen as part of the curriculum by more
liberal college professors and administrators did not dawn on them.
The “maverick”
candidate Obama with his “beautiful family” and what he could do for our
country and the black community economically was often the talk during breaks.
One young man was especially excited as he was campaigning for him around the
state.
My traditional
college students during the day would often miss classes or arrive late with
starry eyes from campaign rallies in support of this “transformational”
candidate who would revolutionize America and give everyone free housing,
health, food, and college. The excitement was so palpable, you could package it
in gold tin foil with a blue ribbon. A few students even endangered their lives
by standing in the middle of busy intersections holding signs in support of the
unknown Chicagoan’s candidacy.
Schools
staffed with Democrats to the rafters organized trips two hours away to hear
candidate Obama who, as president of the largest economy on earth at the time,
would “fundamentally transform” America into the socialist paradise of his anti-American
and racist ideology. He was going to be a uniter and make everything that ailed
this country better. At least that’s what everyone thought.
A local radio
shock jock was asking listeners who they will vote for President in November.
One caller said he would choose the unknown half-black candidate Obama because,
“he would screw up things so badly, nobody would ever elect another socialist
to office.” He was wrong on the election part. Obama was elected twice and more
socialists and communists are elected to office today.
Eleven years
later, we are divided more than ever along ideological and racial lines. The
economy is improving thanks to the leadership of President Trump who is
presiding over a 4.2% GDP growth unlike his predecessor who was busy telling us
that a weak economy, less than 2% growth, was the new norm. President Trump is
making good on the many promises candidate Trump has made to make America great
again, his campaign slogan.
The Democrat
side is busy telling us that America was never great. I wonder why everybody is
risking life and limb to come to America if it is such a bad, racist, and
intolerant place to be.
The entire
country is in a social and political ailment. Communists, socialists, and
anarchists are slowly taking over the country. Washington is a political Swamp
nobody can possibly ever drain. People not qualified to answer a simple history
or geopolitical question are elected to Democrat office by Democrat voters
equally ignorant, lacking basic information, civics, and history knowledge, and
who often do not speak English and vote legally and illegally.
The
education of our children that used to be the envy of the world has taken an intolerant
Marxist tone. Violent fascist and racist organizations like ANTIFA and BLM have
found nests on campuses around the country, formed as their perceived need to enforce
social justice. Their anger that the Democrat candidate Hillary lost the
election is endless and incurable.
The media is
bashing President Trump non-stop, vilifying him, his family, and everything he
does. A man who has given up so much to do what is right for our country has
become public enemy number one for all Democrat voters who seem to have lost
their minds, mired in pure hate and insanity.
Hollywood
college dropouts and ball players have joined in the fray of anti-Americanism. They
use their microphones afforded by successful roles in movies which have
suddenly made them experts, telling us how to live and how to become globalists
by giving up our language, borders, and culture to invading hordes of economic refugees
from third world countries.
The then
transformational candidate Barack Hussein Obama, who promised to heal all the
wounds and right all the wrongs, give his supporters free food, education,
health, housing, cars, has turned our country into such an anti-American and
welfare-centered direction that it is uncertain right now that we would ever be
able to recover.
What is good
has become bad, evil has become good, and moral values have been replaced by moral
relativism, decadence, and filth. America continues to be fundamentally
transformed from the shadows.
The Lord foretold such a time as this in His Word...it just grieves the heart to see it happening all about us and so many seeing themselves so right in their own eyes!
ReplyDeleteSo sadly true, Sandy.
DeleteGood people know what serious trouble we are in but the wrong course is despair. Never give up. Place your trust in the one who will never abandon us.
ReplyDeleteCatholics nationwide will be praying the Rosary simultaneously on Oct. 7 at 4PM EST. The plan is to have a living chain of people encircling the entire border of the USA, as well as on the grounds of each state capitol and in DC. Never underestimate the power of the Blessed Virgin Mother.
Amen!
