Baseball, apple pie, southern cooking, and an above average standard of living are all true red, white and blue results of the American worker seperating itself from the rest of the world. We are the most productive nation in the world. It has been that way almost from the conception of our proud country. The reason we have a higher standard of living is because we will never accept being second best. In World War II, it was not any leader or general in the feild that won that conflict. Oh no, what won the conflict was good old American manufacturing and industry. We would not allow cowards like Japan and Nazi Germany to take our standard of living and freedom. Oh yes and by the way, we liberated a few Europeans along the way as well. Now today and recent years past our highly intelligent elected leaders have decided we need to open up our society and become part of the "global economy". Greed  and money have replaced values that made America different from the rest of the world. By opening us up to this so called world economy, our government has allowed China, India, Saudi Arabia, and countless other countries to literally feed on our middle class. Through NAFTA and other such trade agreements we sent our manufacturing across the pond as if it would be some kind of econmical boom for America. If you see what I am seeing, now that the world has direct access to our wallets, prices are not lower. We are importing more products than ever at a lower level of quality and paying more for it. Under the strain of illegal immigration, the lose of manufacturing, the lose of jobs and the total lack of leadership and statesmanship our standard of living is evaporating before our very eyes. What is so disturbing is that it has not taken but about ten years for this to really take hold and reak havoc especially in the middle class. Now that we are in this open world economy, China, India and especially Saudi Arabia are dictating our way of life literally.  The elderly after working all their life are faced with the staunch reality of buying food or their medications. The younger generation are faced with buying gas or food. We as a free, taxpaying society are allowing our government and many other governments to take our constutional rights. These laws were written in the blood of very brave Americans. Those very brave Americans are rolling over in their graves with the prospect of the disgraceful legacy we are leaving for our children. I don't know about you, but I have worked very hard all my life to acheive my goals and to build and maintain my standard of living. I beleive that I should not have to lower my standards to accommodate the world. The day is coming when we as a society are going to have to say enough is enough. Our vote is about all we have, but it is much more than the common Saudi has. I flat out refuse to become a world citizen and bend to their beliefs and way of life. I am an American and that will never change dispite every effort Washington politics and international money is pushing trying to make that happen. I am tired of America being the world police. I am tired of being politcally correct. I am very tired of feeding people that want to kill us. I am very tired of the same old message of change from the chosen few wealthy who can afford to run for office. I am ashamed of what we as a nation have allowed greed to do to America. She deserves much better!
