Obama the Buzz-Kill

Follow-your-dreams

Before Rasmussen’s latest poll was up, I discussed on my radio show that many Americans no longer feel that they are living the American Dream or even have a chance at it.

This is what it takes to destroy a civilization…lower its morale and expectations. When the president of the country only claim to fame is destroying communities he organizes and growing the welfare rolls and he is celebrated, you get an idea of the state of the nation.

The good news is that true Conservatives don’t believe you can destroy the American Spirit that created the American Dream. But we are losing ground every year. According to Rasmussen who performed a national telephone survey, just 27% of American Adults now say it is possible for anyone in the country to work hard and get rich, a percentage that has been fairly steady since late 2012. Fifty-nine percent (59%) say that getting rich from hard work is no longer possible, up from 55% in late January and the highest level of pessimism in over four years of surveying.  Fourteen percent (14%) are undecided.

I’d say America needs some adrenaline, but don’t expect it from buzz-kill Obama.

    I can’t Stand Obama. I don’t think that he has a clue what the real working world is like.

    I do think it’s a shame that people don’t feel they are living the American Dream. I feel that I am living the ‘true’ American dream. My husband and I own our home,not a huge home but enough to suit our needs, we built it from the ground up with our own hands as we got the money so that we would not have a mortgage, we each have a car (both American made) not brand new but nice enough and they get us where we need to go, because we were taught to take care of our possessions. We may not have a lot of money, but we have enough to put food on our table, and pay our bills and still have enough left over to enjoy our lives. Maybe we can’t travel the world but you don’t have to travel the world to discover new things and find enjoyment in life. We have our freedom to practice our religion the way we choose, and the other Constitutional rights that we are given. (although I do fear that far to many people no longer understand what those rights mean and that if they allow one to fall they need to be prepared for all of them to fall) To me that is the ‘American Dream” I feel that is what our ancestors were looking for when they braved the sees to come to this country and start a new life away from religious and political oppression, Famine and hunger and many other forms of injustice.

    I’m not sure when the “American Dream” became being ‘rich” Or maybe it’s that people only see ‘rich’ as a monetary thing. They don’t see that they can be “rich in love’, “Rich in Freedom” “Rich in Pride for working hard and a job well done” Rich in family, Rich in honor….etc. People now days seem to think that they need to have a new car every year with all the bells and whistles, a 4,000 square foot home with a separate bedroom for every child, a TV in every room and all the latest gadgets, or a 4 bedroom house when they only have 1 child. They think that they need to be able to Travel the world in order to enjoy life, God forbid they find and enjoy the wonderful things right in their own back yards (so to speak)

    I remember seeing a story a few years back of a man that immigrated here from the former Soviet Union. He drove a truck at night making deliveries and his wife worked during the day. They only saw each other a couple of hours a day and if they were lucky they managed to get one day a week to spend together. They didn’t have a lot but he was they happiest man I believe I’ve seen in a long time to be living in this country and with it’s freedoms, and be given the ability to work and provide for his family and as he put it “Live the American Dream”. I have to admit that hearing him speak put a real perspective on what I really had and how I needed to appreciate it.

    Maybe it will take the fear of having some of our rights taken away in order for this country to wake up and appreciate the freedoms and rights that our Constitution awards us. I only hope and pray that people wake up before it’s to late. You may not feel that one right is important to you (i.e. freedom to bear arms), but how will you feel when they come after something you do feel is important. Remember the old adage “Give them an inch they’ll take a mile” If you let the government infringe on one of our Constitutional rights then you set precedence and open the door for them all to fall.
