Make America Great Again

The Delicacy of Democracy

Make America Great Again

I see all that rest alongside Highway 411, wherein the remnants of a democracy once in deference of conventionality still exist. Thereupon the way mid-rustic lure, adorned by vast, vacant plains and becoming hills, curving eastward the northern bend of the beautiful Weiss Lake to the fringes of Leeds, where even the wind gathers with aim, there I see the fount of all liberty in wake of nether USA. Wherefore, I have hope that I may someday see the reclamation of our nation’s heritage.

There is a seeming act that has taken place here in America, whereby the anchor of liberty has weakened to a fault. Many citizens are now in search of domestic properties deemed to be manners of individualism. By this, the American Dream has become nothing more than a fictitious hope, because of the pursuit of happiness’ enduring route.

Nevertheless, this forlorn hope of our nation’s purity stems mostly from populous cities and the minds of iconoclast, who dispraise tradition for self-rule, in which, they justify with much verification, to be the same liberty spoken of in the Constitution. However, without tradition there is no remembrance, and if there is no remembrance, then we forget who we are – The People. And if we say we are merely mavericks, indifference with nationalism, we are not practicing the first amendment but abolishing it, for you can not be in dissonance with a nation and have consonance with the precepts that made it.

For there are many who desire to see the eradication of Christian ethics throughout all governmental, social, political, or whatever sprouts a communal grouping. With reasons pertaining to freedom of religion, they say – though this nation has long since been the embodiment of such freedom no other land can correlate thereafter the implantation of Judeo-Christian doctrine was sown over it. Even before the signing of the Declaration of Independence and it’s confirmation, Christianity has been the cornerstone of faith by which this nation has triumphed, endured, and blossomed. Without this, our forbearance of past reasoning becomes unconventional to us.

Although it is unoffensive to me, I do not speak for the uniformity of social facets, nor the continuous reign of certain liberties, nor do I attempt to advocate patriotism, but I speak for the deference of our history, by which men and women gave themselves willingly in belief that the roots of the constitution may prove to be unwavering against the newness of eventual ideology. It was the soldiers of yesterday that bridged us from enslavement to liberation. To diminish any planes’ significance, or to deduce the integrity, or intention, of any law or religion, is to rewrite their sacrifice as one given in vain.

There is a reprehensible call for absolute freedom that is in discord with order. As we can not see that which made America the land of opportunity if we do not consider it’s origin. If we only see the latter then we fail to resist our yearning of furtherance from the past. Indeed, civil progression and modernized invention can provide betterment, but we must not forget the principles that got us here. Those same principles that made America great and true.

For there is a certain freedom that exist without the eradication of roots – there is a certain liberty, I have seen, in this world we call New.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
