History has shown us of the rise and fall of nations, dynasties and empires and how their decisions have caused their governments to soar to power and then plummet to their demise. We in America cannot be so overconfident to believe that we are not subject to the perils that former empires and dynasties have faced.
We are a very determined and resourceful people here in the United States. However, right now there is one very important element that is missing in the equation, and that is unification. There is no unity among our politicians, our media, and many of our people. I find this interesting because we know a house divided does not stand.
Politicians along with mainstream media have been reduced to taking pot shots at their advisories in an attempt to sabotage each other. This undermining rhetoric has diminished efforts toward an important goal which this country was founded on, and that goal is prosperity. Regardless of political affiliation, we as a nation need to find common ground and push forward on ideas that work and not stonewall because of ideology or political party.
There is plenty of blame to go around on how we got into this mess, but that shouldn’t be the focus of this problem. At this point, we need to focus on how to get out of this mess and then formulate realistic solutions that will keep us from being this vulnerable again.
The United States is at a crossroad. We need more productive and fiscally responsible decisions being made by our government. This means both sides need to work together for the good of the United States of America, not for political reasons or ideology.
I don’t want to see our great nation be another footnote in history along with many other once great but now fallen nations, empires and dynasties.
