I Am The American Eagle I am the American Eagle with a broken right Republican wing, and a broken left Democrat wing, its "We the people" body tattered and torn. It needs pledges of help to its God Bless America body, for the Eagle spirit to heal. Its 10% White Collar head has lost control of its 90% Blue Collar welfare soul. For the American Eagle to become strong, we must quit outsourcing its welfare and unite with its talons saying NUTS Never Under Tyranny Surrender the American Eagle spirit that unites this nation. That America is not 10% but 100%, where elected officials need to be 100% not 10%. That we do not need economic morticians but 100% American eagle POLITICIANS, who are not bickering Republicans and/or Democrats but 100% Americans. "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." Feel these words reach deep inside America, It is not a pledge to Demigod Republicans and Democrats, Nor is it to Wall St or Private Equity. It diversity is not just Conservative, Progressive, Liberal Or Moderate or Independent, Rich, poor, It is even homeless. Swiss bank accounts, Overseas tax havens, It is about investing in America That we now need 100% pledges For the American Eagle NUTS talons, Never Under Tyranny Surrender Our American 100% heritage to the future of our children. So the eaglets can fly with both wings. David Lester Young (Franklin Doppelganger) 07/06/12 © |

I hear you loud and clear. It is a sad, sad state of governmental affairs we are in. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |
