America's visual sign of strength has always been attached to our own Bald Eagle. How much more majestic can it get? The graceful swoop, the laser vision on the target, the intensity and swiftness in action, and the protection of the nest. We look at the American Bald Eagle with pride, and know undoubtedly, it was the right symbol to depict THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
Now people in America and outside of America have to take a hard look...and what do they see? Not the strength of an eagle, but the incessant talking parrot, that repeats the same script over and over, thinking everyone will be impressed with his vocabulary. He is coached daily by his trainers to articulate words, and to present them eloquently, so more and more people will surround the cage to listen. He insults people as they watch, and mostly ignores them, since he will only perform when he deems the appropriate time. After watching, the people begin to be bored with the "show", and realize they spent way too much money to see this lackluster performance. The critics tried to tell the people beforehand, but they wouldn't listen. This Parrot was suppose to be different, and had so much talent, that people came from near and far to see him.
Now the daily show has been seen by the whole Country, and we realize the caged Parrot, even though he speaks, is no comparison to the Bald Eagle and all he represents. Actions are louder than words. This parrot's actions combined with his words, have people using for the first time, the word "scary". When have you heard people talk in those terms recently???...not in my lifetime.
The underlying uneasiness is something many people cannot put a finger on. At this particular time in history, we as a nation are divided amongst ourselves. Our President made promises during his campaign, and was heavily endowed by those who expect "payback", so now we the people are experiencing the fallout of inexperience. We are divided because this President wants it that way. He is as polarizing as Nancy Pelosi, but has the charisma to pull it off. Families are bickering, co-workers have heated exchanges, and friends are "less" friendly...all because this President has proven to be no leader...just a high paid community organizer, with a vision of his own!
Our Country seems to be floundering, domestically, and in foreign policy, so we the people are confused and vulnerable. Even as I write, we allow those to enter our Country, who would rather see us destroyed than thrive. Government officials in the past have stopped entry of this enemies on our sacred ground, but now our Parrot can only speak what he is told, and has no desire to keep those who would harm us, out of our free land. This week we find out more terrorist plots have been in the works, for who knows how long. They will not give up, and as a Country, we have to put on the armor of strength, for the talking parrot cannot or will not protect us. Let your voices be heard in Congress! Call your Representatives concerning all the issues we face, health care, energy crisis, immigration, foreign affairs. Remind your Representatives you will not vote for the Parrot or those who feed him next election! Bring back our American Bald Eagle!
