Why let it happen?

Why do we Americans just let these people run rough shod over us? It is our fault I believe due to the simple fact we have become complacent. We have neglected to remain firm in our beliefs and in laziness have let others take over our country, our thinking our way of life. I have been in several so called third world countries, including moslem ones, have got to know ordinary moslems and found they are pretty much like me. The power of money is what brings down democracies, greed, unrightious and un patriotic power hungry people are in charge, and, we put them there. You can arm yourself to the teeth witgh every sort of weapon you can lay hands on and you will not stop the iinvasion. You have forgotten how powerful you are, you and me are Americans with the right to vote. Yes Thats right folks you may think your vote means nothing and thats what the right wingers want you to believe. Start at the bottom and work your way up, say at the kindergarten level.......... and in the rural areas. Our revolution might have been started by city folks, but they fell away or hid quickly when the dookey hit the fan, it was the people in the countryside who was tough enough to fight until the end. Hey small town USA send your kids to school with bibles, prayer books, BLT sandwiches, embrace those of other cultures and beliefs but remind them why they came here, seeking freedom. Unit each of you Americans no matter what religion, color or creed.......Stand together.......
