According to Thesaurus.com, Greed is “Excessive or rapacious desire for wealth or possessions.”
“Selfishness and greed, individual or national, cause most of our troubles.” Harry S. Truman
There have been countless quotes (regarding Greed) throughout the millennia, beginning with the Ten Commandments handed down by God to Moses. “Thou shalt not covet” means don’t be jealous and greedy.
Greed is not isolated to lust for possessions, money, your neighbor’s new bass boat, or that gorgeous diamond ring in the Jewelry Store window. Greed may also and often will include the lust for power, particularly if one happens to be involved in politics. Our country today is reeling from the effects of unbridled Greed on behalf of those encompassing the confines of Capitol Hill, or better said, “our elected officials.”
It would be Greed and the thirst and lust for political power that drove then-President Lyndon Johnson (most believe) to do the unthinkable regarding the assassination of President John Kennedy. Then, to solidify his power base, he created the “Great Society,” whereby he began the nation’s debt spiral of passing out free money via welfare to millions of America’s minorities to keep them voting Democrat.
While the Great Society was sold to our nation as “the Democrat Party cares and loves the American people so much,” they’re creating a system whereby single mothers can garner a check. The amount will INCREASE with each child in the home. The only caveat was that there could be no father in the home. And now we have tens of millions of angry adults (who were children back in the 60s and 70s) who have never known a father in their lives. These (then children) hungered for a family, and now you have gangs that replaced the role model of a father figure in their young lives. This led to the creation of the Crips, Bloods, and many other infamous gangs. Now, you have rising crime, murder, and other despicable acts against innocent victims.
It would be the Greed of politicians at the expense of tens of thousands of young people’s lives that has caused so many wars in recent years. The bogus claim that America was stopping the encroachment of communism in Southeast Asia would be the excuse for the Vietnam War, which claimed over 50,000 young men’s lives. In reality, the “Military Industrial Complex” needed higher profits by building helicopters, tanks, ammunition, and, of course, the inflated stock valuation in General Dynamics for the Johnson family.
Greed would once again rear its ugly head with the invasion of Iraq in the form of incredible profits for Halliburton and other corporations, which benefited former Vice-President Dick Cheney and other high-ranking government officials. Halliburton gained some $17 plus Billion in profits from Iraq, which undoubtedly profited Cheney’s family as he is a major stockholder in the company. Again, we have thousands of dead and wounded young people from the ghastly war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Not to mention the hundreds upon hundreds of billions of dollars (of taxpayer money) spent on this near-pointless war. If it were terrorists, which was the “reason” for the war, we could have just as quickly sent in a couple of SEAL teams to eradicate the heads of the organizations without the decimation of two nations.
While it wasn’t necessarily the Democrats who got us into the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, it was the Democrats and Joe Biden who “gave away” the blood and treasure that was sacrificed in those theaters. His handling of the pull-out of Afghanistan will go down in history as one of the most embarrassing situations for the United States in our history. This is in addition to handing over a major military installation and hundreds of billions in military equipment.
Now we come to the Southern Border situation. Why is the President and this Administration so “hell-bent” on allowing (what can only be described) an invasion of the Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California borders? Why won’t he guard our nation against this mass influx of illegal aliens into our nation? Then why is he giving each one of them a pre-loaded credit card with $5,000 on it, along with free transportation, free housing, free food, and if you happen into California and you’re an alien, you get free healthcare along with free sex change operations?
Again, it’s Greed! The Democrats are banking on “granting amnesty” to these millions of insurgents and creating an entirely “new” voter base. This allows them to keep their positions, whereupon they enrich themselves dramatically. But don’t be mistaken; the Republicans are not totally innocent in all of this. They want the illegal aliens for “cheap labor.” If I own a home building company in Phoenix, Arizona, I would rather pay someone from Mexico $8.00 an hour (and he is off the books) rather than an American Union worker $32.00 an hour, plus benefits.
I could literally write a book about how Greed and corruption are destroying not just the Democrat Party but America as a whole. The Democrats have “kowtowed” to the LGBTQ community and have accepted the mental illness that young boys think they are girls, so therefore, we will alter your genitalia. Even though you are 6’2″ tall and bench press 250 lbs, since you believe you’re a girl, you can use the women’s locker room and showers even though you have a penis.
If this isn’t bad enough (which it is), the Black Lives Matter movement has convinced the Democrats to allow the rewriting of American history for our school systems. Thus, dumbing down our children, then on top of that, telling the young caucasian students that they should be ashamed of their race.
Democrats, the mass media, and many today are “wondering” just how and the heck Donald Trump’s popularity keeps going up in the face of so many legal issues. It’s simple. Donald Trump is addressing the insanity of the “mental issue” of sexual dysphoria. He is addressing the education issue of white children being abused into being ashamed for being white. He is addressing the border issues, the out-of-control spending, how he will sell our overabundance of oil to pay down the debt, and many more mind-numbing issues where the Democrat Party has gone astray.
The Democrats have, without a doubt, begun their destruction by capitulating to every fringe group and attempting to sell it all or cram it down the throats of all of America. The bulk of America is not morally depraved and is sick and tired of this garbage being shoved onto our children, communities, and cities. America is tired of the Greed, corruption, and insanity being pushed by Democrats. WOKE is dying, and it is because of this Greed and corruption that you can expect a landslide victory for Donald J. Trump this November.
