The end of America?

Time once more for another chain email. This one actually claims that America is now dead, and dishes out who they think is to blame. This will probably be one terribly misinformed email...

Written by a USMC Vet. (I can't argue with any of it. Passing it along as it was received.)

He wrote:

The American Dream ended (on November 6th) in Ohio . The second term of Barack Obama will be the final nail in the coffin for the legacy of the white Christian males who discovered, explored, pioneered, settled and developed the greatest Republic in the history of mankind.

The American dream is dead? In 2005, home ownership in the USA was at an all time high of 69.2%. By 2013, home ownership had fallen to 64.9% after the burst of the housing bubble (back to pre-bubble ownership levels). Is this a bad sign? The fact is that the ownership rate can be misleading. To be classed as a homeowner, you must own or rent your home. But there is a group of people that are ignored in these numbers. If you still live with your parents, you don't count. If your parents move in with you, they don't count.

Those groups are understandable. But with the recession, friends started moving in together to save money. One would own the home, and even though the other may be paying rent, they are not counted the same as someone renting an apartment of their own. Both are renting, but only one is considered a homeowner. So the rate is somewhat misleading because people are being responsible. Also, they aren't jumping into home loans that were rigged to fail from the off. People taking steps to better themselves in the smartest manner they can. How is the American dream dead? Also, try telling the one million+ legal immigrants each year the the American dream is dead...

Why the sole focus on white Christian males? I may not be Christian, but I'm a white male, and can tell you we are still the demographic in the seat of power in America. As for the Christians that discovered, settled, explored America... So what! Many of the first Americans where Christians. But many weren't as well. In fact, many of the most prominent of the founding fathers were deists rather than Christian. Remember, it is they that saw it fit to institute the separation of church of state when they formed the America that we so love.

And while Lief Ericson was the first to land in North American, and that he was a recent convert to Christianity. Remember, it was another Norseman, Bárdi Herjólfsson who first sighted North America. His religion is not known. If he was a believer in Odin and Thor though, does that mean we should fight to place the Norse beliefs above all others instead of Christianity?

A coalition of Blacks, Latinos, Feminists, Gays, Government Workers, Union Members, Environmental Extremists, The Media, Hollywood, uninformed young people, the "forever needy," the chronically unemployed, illegal aliens and other "fellow travelers" have ended Norman Rockwell's America .

Gee, the GOP's favorite painter was pro-civil rights.
They must be so confused right about now...

Well I see that someone already has their tin-foil hat firmly in place. Norman Rockwell's America? Really? I don't think that means what you think it means. This isn't Mayberry we're talking about. Yes, his painting harken back to a simpler time. But did you know that Rockwell was registered as an independent voter? Sometimes he voted Democrat, and sometimes he voted Republican. Hell, he even voted for a straight Socialist candidate once. Also, let's not forget his painting "The Problem We All Live With". His statement on the issue of civil rights. Something in stark contrast to an email that started by pushing for white Christian male preference...

The Cocker Spaniel is off the front porch. The Pit Bull is in the back yard. The American Constitution has been replaced with Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals" and Chicago shyster, David Axelrod, along with international Socialist George Soros will be pulling the strings on their beige puppet to bring us Act 2 of the New World Order.

Must not be our Cocker Spaniel, because she's as lazy as it gets. As for all the claims here... Citation needed. Why is it that conservatives tout the Constitution so grandly, yet complain when it is actually used in church/state separation issues? I oft wonder just how many actually know what it actually says...

Our side ran two candidates who couldn't even win their own home states, and the circus fatster, Chris Christie, helped Obama over the top with a glowing "post Sandy " tribute that elevated the "Commander-in-Chief" to Mother Teresa status. (Aside: with the way the polls were run, he didn't need any help!)

Oh, yes... the polls were 'rigged' for forecasting the exact thing that actually happened. Does that mean that reporting the truth is now a conspiracy? You have a whole 'news' network in Fox News that is nothing more that a spin an propaganda machine. Pot, meet kettle. And why is it bad that Christie thanked Obama after Sandy? I thought you were for values. When someone helps you, you thank them. But instead of that, you'd prefer it if he attacked him instead of thanking him. Where are those values now...?

People like me are completely politically irrelevant, and I will never again comment on or concern myself with the aforementioned coalition which has surrendered our culture, our heritage and our traditions without a shot being fired.

Lets get this straight... So it's fine when Bush actually
takes rights away. But when Obama doesn't take rights
away, he's accused of taking rights away?

If you feel you're politically irrelevant because your favored candidates lost, then learn to deal with it. You were in the minority, and it looks like you will continue to be. And what of our culture, heritage and traditions have been surrendered? Seriously, I really want to know. Because I see an America that is going strong in the freedom department.

Chances are, you are upset that the playing field has been leveled, and you no longer have everything your own way. The White Christian males can no longer tell everyone else what to do. This is not American losing anything. It is America gaining! Wrongs are being righted, and rights are being given that were formerly wrongly blocked or withheld. It's America being what America is supposed to be.

White Christian males no longer get to play the role of puppet master, and rights are now more evenly administered. And to that there is the statement of 'without a shot being fired'... So the moral here is that if you don't get to tell everyone how to live their lives there should be an armed rebellion? Sorry, but that makes you sound like a violent nutter.

You will never again out-vote these people. It will take individual acts of defiance and massive displays of civil disobedience to get back the rights we have allowed them to take away. It will take Zealots, not moderates & shy, not reach-across-the-aisle RINOs to right this ship and restore our beloved country to its former status.

Again, calls for defiance (peaceful and non-peaceful) to get back rights that haven't been taken away. I hear all these complaints of Obama taking away our rights. But what rights are they talking about? The only thing I can think of is NDAA (Oddly, the Conservatives I know actually like the NDAA). But when I ask those that make these complaints, all I ever hear them claim is a right that hasn't gone anywhere and is under no attack at all.

Those who come after us will have to risk their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor to bring back the Republic that this generation has timidly frittered away due to "white guilt" and political correctness...

Classy... even more calls for an armed uprising to fight a non-existent enemy. Sounds more like a spoiled child throwing a tantrum for not getting it his way...

An American Veteran....................... Semper-Fi .

If this was actually written by a vet, then I thank them for their service. But I can not get behind this racist message or narrow exclusivity and violence that this email exudes.

Got the guts to pass it on?

Oh, I'll pass it on... With corrections of course!
