We're Failing A Generation

We The People Are Fed Up

Sitting in a little bar, waiting for our pizza to cook, I stare outside at snow piling up on the streets, and think about the world we live in.

Red Lodge, Montana, is about as far away from politics as one can be.

Republicans, Democrats, Independents, and non-affiliated voters are fed up.

We are not hardline party players, but get forced into boxes by folks who wish to discredit us for simply wanting the leaders in our country to put Americans first.

We are tired of our hardworking tax dollars being given to other countries to bribe, hold up, protect, or whatever you want to call it.

Let them deal with their issues while we spend our money solving the problems in our country.

Call it what you want, Nationalism, America First, we don’t care, just do it.

We are sick of people coming to OUR country and asking us to change rather than them, doing what we do when we move to a new state or visit a foreign country, which is to assimilate.

We are not racists or homophobes or any of the other phobes opponents try to paint us into being.

Your terms mean nothing because you’ve lied about them so much that we don’t care.

We are Americans who love our country and want our kids to be taken care of before we go giving money towards projects around the world that are little more than a political bribe.

Our young men and women are not able to buy a home until age 40, that’s the average now, and they are mad as hell.

The American ideal is that we leave our kids in a better America than we had; we are failing.

We have a hopeless generation.

Think about that!

They are the first generation that will do worse than the previous, and yet, we keep throwing tax dollars at regimes around the world rather than finding ways to use that money to make homeowners out of our kids.

Shame on us.

What some fail to understand is that America is ready for a revolution.

Not some socialist takeover, although we’d better pay attention because the liars pushing that message will gain traction if we don’t find a way to answer with truth.

When you and I grew up, we had hard times, but we knew if we held on, better times would follow.

That’s not a guarantee anymore.

It’s not even likely.

Yet here are trillions of tax dollars, coming from you and me, that are being wasted overseas and right here in our home states on failed ideologies, war mongers, and politicians trying to leave a legacy to their bronze bust, rather than to our kids’ futures.

We the People are waking up.

We will not let the opponents of America bury our ideas or smother our cries for change any longer.

If you come here, do it legally.

If you stay, assimilate.

To our leaders, we are watching you.

It’s our money, and you work for us, act like it.

And for those who try to silence us with manipulation and name-calling, shut up.

Your plans are unraveling.

You know it, and so do we.

We The People are Fed Up.
