Pearl Harbor: A Day of Infamy


This was an unbelievable time in American history. It was a surprise attack on the United States, and the biggest misconception in the attack, is that it was unprovoked. Now i am the biggest believer in America and could not be prouder to be part of this great nation. But we are at fault as a nation here. There was evidence to suggest that Japan was going to attack Pearl Harbor. The intel was hunches and thoughts, the United States decided against mobilizing our fleet because it would cost to much money to move the ships and mobilize the fleet all because of a hunch. The moment our government made this decision they put a price on the men and women who were stationed here. If i was there or it was a member of my family i would want them to do everything to protect them. This was a terrible day, but with this tragedy came one of the best wars America has ever been involved in. Let me be clear I think war in general is terrible, but what this war brought was freedom for million of Jewish men and women who were being murdered at the hands of Adolf Hitler. It brought our economy back from the dead and made the United States a power house in terms of Military prowess. The bad thing about this was the dominance and the bully our country became. It was manifest destiny all over again. We thought we were entitled to things that didn't belong to us. We established bases throughout Europe and became a police to the world. I understand why we did it, to protect innocent people from men like Hitler, but we let Joseph Stalin do it to his people. If we were really concerned about the welfare of others we would have removed Joseph Stalin from power. Again this is just my point of view on things. But in the end i want to give thanks to the men and women past and present who fight to keep our freedom and protect our unalienable rights.

Down With Reality TV

Why is most of America obssessed with reality TV? I can't stand it. It's not really reality. These types of shows is what's wrong with our country, people are content being lazy living vicariously through these fake celebrities who do nothing to influence or even help america. Why are we glorifying girls who are pregnant at such a young age? The one great thing about this country is the ability to go from literally nothing to top of the food chain, and it doesn't take luck but hard work. Work that most americans don't like doing. In today's society its all about making a quick buck or sueing someone who wronged you. That is not how the world should work and that is not the world our forefathers invisioned when they laid their lives on the line. God did not send his only son to take away the sins of the world in exchange we put talentless hacks on TV and pay them millions when our teachers, police officers, firefighters and branches of the military struggle to stay a float. Good job America. We need to put an end to this type of Reality and start actually live in reality. I mean the only way i'd keep up with a Kardashian is if one of them was in front of my truck.
