 The Silent Majority
  

Shameful silence flows across my country by those that look within

Like sheep being lead to the slaughter they crowd with bowed heads

Each telling the other someone will tend to the flock

Atrocities slap them in the face and yet they close their eyes

 

They stand, the silent majority, like penguins with their backs to the snow

Huddled in their own warmth eyes closed to blind to see or care

While the very Gift of living in America is ripped from beneath them

Looking while the flag for which we stand is degraded by the leftist

 

They refuse to speak or act thinking one man can do nothing

Hitler, Stalin, Mau se Tung,

They follow the pied piper looking straight ahead

Inside wanting to take action but not knowing how

 

They, the silent majority, remain committed to silence

Wanting to be politically correct-doing this condemns America to a slow death

Ignorance holds no virtues only compliance   

Watch your flag burn? DO nothing? YOU ARE SHAMEFUL!

 

They watch as there children are being told not to pray

They watch as God is removed from their children's books

They watch as English is treaded like a second language

They watch as Symbols are removed and school names are changed

 

They the silent majority, standing docile like dead trees

Many with no medical insurance being told things are better

They watch as homes become unaffordable

They watch as gasoline and heating oil becomes a large expense

 

They the silent majority watches as a soldier’s life is taken

They watch as he laid to rest not fully understanding the gift he's given

They watch as though nothing was going on as if nothing will happen to them

They will only act when there health is threatened when there home is lost

 

Silent Americans wake up!! Wake up! For your time is running out!

This article is a real downer. While it contains some truth, its certainly not my reality or the reality of the people that I know, even here on F.S.

I don't care which organization you're talking about, due to human nature, they're all split about 20/80. Yes, even the peoples of our nation, as a whole. 

For example, through the years, at all the places that I worked, usually it was 20% of the workers doing most of the heavy lifting(new ideas and innovations,etc.), while 80% did only the minimum to get a paycheck. Its the exact same way at church, too.

All it takes to effect real change is for the 20% to know what needs to be done so they can band together and get it done.

I've accepted the 20/80% rule so thoroughly, as a part of human nature, that I really don't expet much of the 80% anymore. That way I'm rarely disappointed and occasionally pleasantly surprised when they do come through.

Once again, the author of this article is way too pessimistic for my tastes.

It's all how you look at it and then decide what direction we will take. I believe that we can be positive. I don't think that Fed Up was trying to be a downer, rather the opposite. Fed Up is just trying to wake people up instead of letting them think that all is doomed. Fed Up was creating a scenario for good discussion and I am glad that alot of people on here are not sitting quietly by. Each morning that I wake up is a good day for the Lord had awaken me on previous days and he still does so. Everything is going to be a.o.k. once this mess is over with, but always, always be prepared none the less. Have a great day. It's your day to do as you please with it because we are AMERICAN'S!!!! Now smile....:)
