Irony @ MindSay

Sometimes a nation forgets who it is and why it was founded. Sometimes the people refuse to pass down the things that they were taught by their grandparents and parents. Sometimes fences that are up are taken down and people forget why the fence was erected in the first place. Usually, by the time the generation that destroyed the fence and the knowledge realizes why such things were instituted, it is too late to fix.

I read a blog today quoting a man who is proud to be Unpatriotic.
I read a blog today saying that those who vote for McCain are racists and warmongers.
I read a blog today saying that those who vote for Obama are stupid and a whole slew of other invectives.

And while these posts are put up and commented on, the Giants of our Past must be looking down and weeping. We are sitting here bickering over which gear in the machine to engage. Our children have lost the Republic our Forefathers risked their own lives, fortunes, and sacred honor to erect and preserve. We have accepted the label of "Democracy" while shouldering the mantel of "serf". We have given up the right to self-governance in exchange for the opiate of Social Welfare and Progressive-ism.

Where once we had the right to think and do as we saw fit, now we need a permit. Where once we had the right to help our neighbor with the money we ourselves earned, now we have hardly enough to feed our own family. We have swallowed the lie of taking from the rich to give to the poor while voting ourselves handouts and welfare checks. We are now willing to take from our fellow serf to help ourselves and yet we speak of charity and love of all man.

A house divided against itself cannot stand. And so we have fallen. The world despises us and yet expects us to serve its demands for succor and aid. The Nation hates itself because it has been told that to see good in itself is nothing short of Hubris. Americans have decided that living with guilt is better than striving ever upwards.

And now we are bickering over whether McCain, the man without a conscience, is better than Obama, the man without a plan. Where once was greatness, now all we have is shame and humiliation.

My name is Ozymandias,
Look on me you mighty and despair.

When will the Revolution and the return to our Founders begin?

What irony this...lol. Those of my regular readers will appreciate the score I just got in juxtaposition to the year I've just been thru.

Today's news is brought to you by Smurfy and the word "irony." In Lancaster, PA, a truck full of fire extinguishers and safety equipment caught on fire last week.

Firefighters arrived at the scene to find that the '91 Ford f-350 Super Duty truck was experiencing an engine fire. The truck was parked at a house near Hershey Village Apartments, close to civilization. It resulted in the burning of some branches, as well as minor damage to a nearby parked car.

The truck belonged to the Lancaster Safety Technologies company. The company's specialization is "fire extinguisher inspections, recharges and sales." Though none of the safety equipment was damaged, the company lost their truck and had about $25,000 in total damages.

The fire was determined as accidental.
