What We Gave Up
Dan & Sheila
America taught the world to be manufacturers. We honored the ingenuity of those who sparked the industrial revolution. We filled our country coast to coast with factories that gave meaningful jobs to the people. People who could feed their families till their bellies were overfull and live in a nice place with the wages they were paid. But we gave it up. We gave it up by encouraging the factories to leave America behind to set up in other countries with grand tax incentives for leaving their dedicated employees in the lurch. Gone are the venues of production that gave us a tangible way to dig ourselves out of any economic problem. We allowed it to slip through our fingers until it was no longer available when we needed it. We could have stopped it. We should have stopped it. America taught the world to be farmers. The great expanses of arable land within our borders fed many of the hungry of the world. Our reserves of gain kept us assured that we would not starve, and that we could afford to feed our families. But we gave it up. We gave it up by depleting our stockpiles to drive up prices. We gave it up by allowing big agribusiness to buy out the independent farmers and then pollute the soil – as well as our bodies – with genetically engineered, patented seeds, protected by the government who should be looking after the interests of the people, but don’t. We could have stopped it. We should have stopped it. America taught the world to be innovators. If the encroaching future presented a problem, we put our heads to work and created something that helped us leap into the future while overstepping the “problem”. Nothing could stop our forward march. There was a future of promise for our children. But we gave it up. We gave it up by being contented to sit before the television for more hours than we speak with other humans each week. We gave it up by being contented to purchase the distractions, the toys that were dangled before us instead of carving out the spiritually fulfilling lives we can have. We gave it up by giving our children over to the “public schools” (read: training ground for future slaves) where they learn to repeat, not to think. (The point is not what you can remember – it’s what you can DO with what you remember!) We could have stopped it. We should have stopped it. America taught the world freedom for the people. Generations of us grew up knowing that those around us, those who were “in authority” were limited in their power by a document – cherished as the only governmental document that mentions happiness as a God-given right – that says that we may speak, follow a religion, move about the country and in and out of it, publicly air our grievances and opinions and be secure in our homes and persons without fear of interference by the government. We were the shining example to the world that when given such freedoms a country flourishes by the works of its people. We became, as a country, rich in scientific knowledge, rich in the arts, rich in athletics. We also became rich in economy, which, unfortunately, took reign over all other riches. Will you give up your freedom next? Will you stop giving your opinion because someone may hear you say it and report you? Will you stand in line to be groped or shown naked for the privilege of boarding a plane – or entering a prom, or walking through a mall, or driving down the highway, or….? Will you limit what you say in an email because you don’t want to set off the NSA’s email reader? Will you choose another religion because the one that feels right to you isn’t on the approved list? Will you take the pharmaceuticals because natural remedies are outlawed? Will you eat the poisons because it’s against your town ordinances to have a garden in your own yard? Will you take the chip in order to buy or sell? Or will you say “NO” at any cost? Some things are worth standing up for. And will you take the best of whatever led us to this mess we are in today, throw away what has proven useless and add new ideas for the future? It’s up to you. It’s you who will be affected by the outcome – either way. It won’t help to say, “We should have…” Delivered by The Daily Sheeple Contributed by Dan & Sheila of Surviving Survivalism.

And…. “Will you vote this coming election, not for the lesser of two evils, but for those which are the best choice, or will you be a petty coward and follow the heard”?
“Will you give up your freedom next?” , We already have by allowing entities such as the TSA to abuse us in ways that were unimaginable in years past. We have facial recognition, where ever we go there is a camera watching us, there are people who report us to authorities if we attempt to assert our rights. Try going into city hall and complain about your taxes, you will at the very least be hustled out or you will be charged with threatening and disorderly conduct. We now have “protest zones”, and we are putting up with this crap! I fear we already have given up our freedom, and it breaks my heart.
we gave up our freedom by electing people who decided that corporate profits are better than manufacturing right here in the good old USA, these are the people who made it easier for a company to farm out its production to the CHinese etc,,,, they made it so that these companies could hide their tax burden by being “global” the freedoms we have lost are due to politicians telling us what is good for us and what will keep us safe,
ITS TIME FOR CHANGE FOLKS, WE NEED TO TAKE THIS SHIP BACK NOW OR WE ARE SCREWED AND WILL NEVER RIGHT ITS COURSE.
OIm sorry, now which candidate is for the people and not the corporations. Thought so, staying home.
I have noticed most live in an allusion. They think someone is there for them, government is on their side, banks do not need regulation, people have to be careful, too lazy to worj, etc. They do not want their allusions shattered. No illusion is not the word before the grammar police correct.
Evie,
I understand the intent, but I agree with those who say staying home is giving tacit consent to be governed.
Instead, vote – for ANYONE not in the big two. Encourage others to do the same. Vote communist, Socialist, green, Constitution, whatever – but make a CLEAR STATEMENT AGAINST TPTB.
As John Adams said in “1776″, “Fat George has declared us in REBELLION, WHY THE HELL CAN’T WE?!”
Our government sees us as the enemy. Let’s give them reason to.
“Our government sees us as the enemy. Let’s give them reason to.”
Yeah? Well, that’s one way of getting through to a paranoid personality.
Someone suggested not voting at all if the candidate did not meet your standard. I did not vote for the first 30 yrs of my adult life and the same folks got elected. If I don’t vote again it won’t change a thing. So I thought I would vote for Gary Johnson the Libertarian candidate. He’s not Ron Paul or Thomas Jefferson but he will do.
Stop using the word “we.” It is “they” who have done all this.
Mathias,
It is “They” if you go back to the Second Consitutional Convention coup; it is WE who keep propagating the debt onto our children.
Unless WE provide fatal doses of lead, the dog and pony shows continue, the “MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION IN HISTORY” comes again every 4 years, and we whine and complain nothing has changed.
MGTOW at least…
