I Want My Country Back
Rick Roberts of KFMB Radio gave a rant not too long ago entitled "I Want My Country Back." I found it while surfing the web and noted that Mr. Roberts gave permission for it to be posted at will. Thanks Rick, both for the permission and for saying what many of us feel.
I don’t mean to go off on a rant here, but here’s the bottom line, I want my country back.Posted by GM Roper at March 4, 2006 06:51 PM | TrackBackI want my kids to be able to walk to the store or walk to school without being abducted by some 3-time convicted child molester. And the politically correct powers that be in this country just can’t seem to get over themselves with “CAN’T WE JUST HELP THIS PERSON!†No! You can’t. But they’re let loose to prey on more children.
I want my kids back. I want my country back.
I don’t agree with everything this President does. I’ve never agreed with anything 100% that any President has done or said.
You know, I was very young during the Vietnam War. So I probably missed that thing by a hair. I don’t know whether I would have agreed with that or not at the time. I was too stupid to have an opinion at that point and time even though I thought I did.
I want my country back.
I want some semblance of respect for authority, whether I agree with it all or not.
I want the Boy Scouts to be “boy†scouts, not boy and “we think she’s a girl†scouts. I want Girl Scouts to be “girl†scouts not Girl Scouts and “Bruce.â€Â
I want my country back.
I want to be able to wake up in the morning knowing that I can walk outside without some gang-banger on parole taking my life.
Or being able to go down and purchase a car without having to worry about you know 90% of the parts being made overseas in some sweatshop.
I want my politicians, when they finally do get my vote, to do what the hell they said they were going to do in the first place.
I want the Abramoff’s of the world to be labeled what they…nothing more than organized crime in a better suit.
I want the Hollywood elite to make movies to entertain me. Not use their celebrity to sway me politically one way or the other.
Quite honestly, if you’re a has-been-pseudo-celebrity I want you to go away quietly, so that I can remember you fondly through your “artiste work†that’s left in the archives.
I want people to say something and when they say something look at me in the eye. And mean what they say. Not say what they think I want to hear. And then do what they want to later politically or any other way.
I want to be able to go out and work and make a decent wage and buy a home. Half the people that are listening to me right now can’t even afford to buy a house unless they’re working three jobs.
And I want America to be America. All of those opportunities, all of those things that made her great, I want those returned to the forefront. If you want to come to this country we welcome you with open arms. We simply ask that you abide by our laws. I don’t want you to snub your nose at our laws, then take advantage of our opportunities, and then cling to the constitution most of which you can’t even read because you don’t speak the language.
I want us to secure our borders because the country is worth securing. The people that live here are worth protecting.
I want my country back. I want my children back.
I want some semblance of what this country used to be.
It’s worth protecting. It’s worth defending.
I don’t recognize this country anymore.
Not politically, not philosophically, not spiritually.
Whether you like it or whether you don’t God was a part of building this great nation. To remove him is to take away the very foundation of what this country was all about.
I don’t care about your political correctness!
I don’t want to know your sexual preference!
I could care less about all of that. Stop making it the headline of the day!
That’s not America.
I want my country back!
And the only way I’m ever going to be able to get this country back is if I reach out to the brothers and the sisters that all feel the same way and we say “Hell No! You can’t have our country.â€Â
It’s not for sale! Take the price tag off this country!
Take the price tag off the heads of our children!
Stop it already!
The politically-correct-psychobabble-hug-a-tree-experts ; You are not qualified to release sex offenders back into our neighborhoods.
The southern border, more than any other border, needs to be secured tomorrow. For all those that wish to come to this country to take advantage of her opportunity, to live under a constitution a living document that breathes in and out just like you do, this country is not for sale.
I should know. I’m one of the owners. You can’t sell it without my permission.
I want my country back!
I'm sure that many Americans feel the same way. But most are too timid to voice their concerns.
Good rant on the part of Rick Roberts.

GM, I was chatting with a friend from this region and he informed me that when he was a lad he would ride his bicycle to the theater on Saturdays and watch: News, cartoons, a serial, and two movies (yep, they were probably grade B, but they wouldn't shock an old sailor)...and here's the point: He'd just park his bike. Hours later, he'd come back and it would still be there. Fast forward. I had my car stolen from the airport parking lot about five years ago.
I and he, remarked how we use to hitch-hike (in two different states) and NEVER were we accosted by anyone who was a pervert, kidnapper, etc. This sort of stuff just didn't happen.
Sure, thievery has been with the world since recorded history. Sure, there have been people with different sexual leanings, but what accounts for that period in the Post WW II period and before the mid-60s when things really started going hay-wire? I know we've more and faster "news" sources, but I was a newspaperboy and I never recall all the really awful behavior we see in America today. Your take?

There was no term for “juvenile delinquent†until, during World War II, when children were unsupervised because their fathers were fighting the war, and their mothers were working in the defense industries. Since then, American parents (not all, of course) have essentially divorced themselves from parental responsibilities. Fast forward to today, and we have kids who never see their parents much less gain wisdom from them, who spend most of the day jerking a knot in some public school teacher’s butt, chasing skirts, and sleeping in class so that they’ll have energy to stay up all night pursuing sex, drugs, and rock and roll. I’d like to have America back, too … but it isn’t going to happen given the above, and have you noted that we’ve done it to ourselves? Like Rome, America won’t be conquered by a foreign power until after we’ve first destroyed the fabric of our nation from within. And IMO, we are well on the way to doing just that.

The neighborhood I was born in was safe. There were few street lights and parents thought nothing of letting young kids walk anywhere. Children were raised to be good citizens and bad behavior was punished. But then the liberal professors started telling criminals that nothing was their fault, and liberal lawyers started hamstringing the cops who kept us safe. The first step to solving our problems is to enforce the laws we've always had. The second step is to raise kids right--and come down hard on those who don't. The third step is to never, ever vote for a liberal.
