What Happened?

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
What has happened indeed?

Americans once bought with pride,
Products we used to make right here;
Now China makes what we once did,
You say we have nothing to fear?

Lead paint comes in our children's toys,
'Least that's what they tell us about;
What about the things we don't know?
I think we have reason to shout.

But who is left that will listen,
Do Patriots still even exist?
We are now a minority,
Quickly becoming less and less.

Our Constitution is English,
Our Bill of Rights is that way too;
Learn English or simply go home,
Or we don't have a need for you.

What's happened to America?
The one that I was taught to know;
The land that our soldiers die for,
It has become a dumping hole.

For those who may be "illegal,"
America's the land of the free;
Medical care, food and housing,
All of them paid by you and me.

The way to save America,
Is clear as the face on your nose;
Don't buy that Toyota or Hyundai,
Our border crossings we should close.

Let God come back into our schools,
Let parents discipline their kids;
Kick the corrupt out of office,
On and on and on goes the list.

Wow, I'd love to be President,
I'd lead with the people in mind;
Using some good old fashioned rules,
"Common sense" I'd be sure to find.

To lead is really quite simple,
Why do these fools make it so hard?
Move forward with one thing in mind,
This is one nation under
GOD !

Dear Paul, I agree with you, we should emphasize that our law cannot incorporate the Sharia law. We went a long way to get America as you knew it and we have gone too far by letting them build 2000 sharia centers. God save us. Love Emile

We need to support all American businesses who produce here. That includes tax breaks. I used to think tariffs were a bad idea, but now that so many US firms have outsourced, maybe the cost of their products manufactured outside our borders need to face that hurdle. That might make us a bit more competitive. But George is right, the unions must be more realistic, or die and take many of us with them. Patrick

Truer words never written, Paul -- what happened? Took prayer out of school, discipline out of the homes, and there you go. :( Sad. Powerfully penned, my friend: keep w(r)iting!

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

And we have to get the Unions to remain free and have secret ballots not pass a law by friends in congress to do away with that freedom. It was the ever demanding greed of the unions that destroyed the car industry in America and the lack of Management to keep up with what was happening to foreigh cars. I spoke to the CEO of Chevrolet on this subject and he gave me the proverbal lie; we will surpass all competition, And I asked WHEN- there are millions of foreign cars now on our streets. No answer.

That is correct, Paul. One nation under GOD. Our creator had alot to do with us being here. Excellent writing, with valid points.


GOD BLESS YOU
