I started this blog for many reasons. I’ve been following politics for a while now and I’ve had a growing concern for the future of America.
I grew up with the idea that America was pure and about freedom, honor, and pride. As a child, when my family would go to the lake and take the boat out my Grandpa without fail would fly the American flag on the back of the boat. The flag was a symbol of freedom. My Grandpa who is an army Veteran had great respect for the flag. My other Grandpa was also an Army Veteran who served in World War II and also had a great respect for his county. Their influence build great respect within me for my country. As I grew older and began to understand politics and government more, the pure childhood image I had of America started to distort. I always believed that the Government had my best interest in mind and wouldn’t do anything that would hinder or harm my pursuit of happiness. As an adult I’ve learned that Government isn’t really on my side at all. The Government is out for its own gain while Americans are footing the bills for all the enormous and inefficient Government programs that do nothing but move the power from the people into the hands of the Government. I still have great pride for my country but it’s my Government that has lost a lot of my trust.
