I just want to make this clear...John is a first generation, born here American. I am 1/2 1st generation American, my Father immigrated from Macedonia when a child, and my Mother was 1st generation born here. We both come from immigrants as poor as they could be! No one gave our people anything, they never asked for anything. They were grateful for the opportunity to be in this country, and became citizens as soon as possible, learning English as fast as they could.
We are from avid flag wavers! When we were first married, John announced (to my horror at the time) that he was joining the Army to "pay back this country for being a wonderful place for our parents". He did, and he has.
What is wrong with this picture? NOTHING! Remember what Kennedy said about "not asking what your country could do for you, but what you could do for your country".
Something is terribly wrong with this attitude of being owed everything! If you do it for your children, you ruin them. If our country does it for everyone, it will also be ruined. You not only ruin the work ethic in those on the dole, but you ruin the work/reward reality of a successful life and country.
When you reward people who are doing something illegal, what does that say to those who obey the laws? How do you discriminate between the law breakers you do not prosecute, and the lawbreakers you chose to prosecute...perhaps based on culture or race? Hummm.
God help us...Linda
My note: Or how do you justify showing bias toward law breakers because they are from a certain ethnic group? Well, you do it because you want to create 18 million voters for your party, because maintaining your status and power is more important than the country.
This is a great post! Thanks for sharing! Wayne
