America's Fixin' To Fall

This is mostly an edited repost of AMERICAS DEMISE which I posted to the den over a year ago. Phrophetic? I couldn't swear to that but look at the state of our economy. So again I say, take that import you drive and dump it! Where we are today is our own fault and that of our leaders. Time to buy American my friends, before it is REALLY TOO LATE !

 

 

I’d like to tell you a story,
It’s one I may have told before;
But it needs to be said again,
Cause we’re fighting a new kind of war.


All Americans are the victims,
Even the ones on the enemy’s side;
They’re collaborators but don’t know it,
It’s a truth from which we cannot hide.


But first I need to explain a few things,
So I’d like you to take a trip with me;
To the end of the second World War,
To a nasty lesson in history.


To the war that was started by mad men,
Who wanted to dominate all mankind;
By the time you finish with this story,
The threat to our nation I think you’ll find.


American plants switched to war production,
Textile mills made soldier's fatigues;
GE helped build perfection in radar,
All of them U.S.A. products indeed.


The Allied powers beat the evil Axis,
And that should have been the end of it all;
It turns out it was a false surrender,
Now America is fixin’ to fall.


First, they asked for our help to rebuild,
As a caring nation, we agreed;
Rebuilt, it was better than before,
Again, a sneak attack filled their need.


We couldn’t be beat with weapons of death,
What they wanted was total dominance;
At once they began to forge a new plan,
To attack us at our very essence.


That essence was our industrial might,
A might that we all have but thrown away;
Our loyalty to our country is zilch,
We prove it by buying imports each day.


Think about all of this for a minute,
Without companies like old RCA;
Ford, GM, Boeing and others,
Old Glory wouldn’t be flying today.


Take a look at a possible future,
Where a world war breaks out once again;
Let’s assume it’s the east against the west,
Where are the plants we had way back then?


The US, Canada, Britain and Spain,
And others may make the forces Allied;
N. Korea, Iran, and others, the Axis,
Where will Japan’s U.S. plants loyalties lie?


Sure they employ Americans now,
But the profits still go over there;
They control our very industry,
While we are all going nowhere.


No my friends, we are not living free,
‘Cause this war has already begun;
Their victory is almost assured,
Salute the flag of the rising sun.


The bottom line is simply this,
We have set ourselves up for a fall;
Each import buying American,
Is guilty of treason, one and all.


I’m sorry to have to speak out,
But someone has got to say it;
The alternative is our demise,
Try explaining that to your kids!


I have to say this one more time,
Real Americans buy U.S.A;
Our nation’s future depends on you,
There simply is no other way.


My friends, I give you a challenge,
Make America strong again;
Restore her industrial might,
Start the ball rolling here in the Den.


Dump that Accord for a Fusion,
Say NO to that Sony TV;
Choose an Impala over a Camry,
Your children would really like to live free.

 If we’re honest with ourselves; I mean really honest with ourselves; none of us can help but see the truth. What you just read is the truth as it is happening right before our very eyes. America as we know it today is fixin’ to fall. The above scenario can very easily happen soon. My God, it is happening. And if it continues on this course, one day our children and grandchildren may look back to our time and ask, “Why did our fore-fathers (and mothers) sell out our country? How come we’re not free like they were? What was ‘the General’ and who was Henry Ford and Walter P. Chrysler? What did Old Glory look like? Did Washington, D.C. sink into the sea like Atlantis? What was an elected official?” And of course the real big one! “Why do we have to hide when we pray to God?” Let’s all THINK before we make that next purchase, whatever that purchase may be. Be it a car, truck, TV or power tool; if at all possible folks, BUY AMERICAN! Before it’s no longer possible to buy American at all.

                    I’ve said it before and I am not afraid to say it again!

 

REAL AMERICANS BUY AMERICAN!
MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA AGAIN.
PERIOD !!!

Telling people to buy something just because it's made in America isn't working. Because people always have and always will, buy the best products available to them for the money they spend.

Regardless of where the products are made.



The fix is simple, all America has to do is make products that people will buy. Nothing else is going to work. It's that simple!

Paul, you said it and need to keep saying it--we all do! You did a great time-line of some of America's problems.

You said it - we don't even like America.We turn our backs on the things and principles that made it great: we've taken God out of everything, pushed our production knowhow overseas to other countries while we wallow in our apathy and concern ourselves with senseless things like same sex marriage, gay rights,and not making someone else angry. America is not fixing to fall, it is falling.

Paul,

Yes, this is so true. It makes me so angry when I call a tech rep and get someone from India! And they wonder why our unemployment rate is so high. I looked at the things that I owned one day to see what the "made in" was. I'm sorry to say not even the flag was made in the U.S.A. God Bless America, we say that often, but seem to have really forgotten it.

Mary
