North American Nice

From the very beginning of these two countries, doing the right thing has been fundamental in surviving and thriving. And Canada and the United States have been very good at both, much to the benefit of the whole world.

However, there is such a thing as being too nice. Both the citizens of the United States of America and Canada have allowed their citizens to take beatings from being too nice. Being too nice and too tolerant too often results in being taken advantaged of by the “lowlifes” in our society. These less than ethical people often end up as street criminals, criminals clothed as government officials, or criminals clothed as do-gooders.

“The course of history shows that as a government grows, liberty decreases. The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first." ~ Thomas Jefferson

How has it been possible for the things going on in Canada and the United States to really be happening? I feel it is only because, as a whole, Americans and Canadians have been too nice. We have simply placed our trust in the wrong people. For most of our history we have been able to trust our elected government officials to do the right thing for our countries as a whole, but lately not so much.

"One great error is that we suppose mankind more honest than they are." ~ Alexander Hamilton

"Few men have virtue to withstand the highest bidder." ~ George Washington

“Show me a man that gets rich by being a politician, and I'll show you a crook.” ~ Harry S. Truman

In the first 200 years of our counties’ existence the assumption that our governing bodies were occupied by a majority of honest men and women was a safe assumption. Unfortunately, in the last 50 years, it would seem that our governing bodies have morphed into a criminal enterprise that is more focused on self-serving than serving the people who elected them to those positions. Basically, big-monied lobbyists have outbid the tax paying voters and corrupted too many government officials.

The time has come for the people in Canada and the United States to stop being “too nice.” There are evil actors in our counties that want to take our counties down and establish some form of tyrannical government to replace the historical liberties we have always enjoyed. Being the nice guy is over and being un-nice time has come if we wish to save our traditional way of life.

In the United States, the voters wised up enough to re-elect Donald Trump to lead the charge against corruption in and out of government. Every day more and more corruption is coming to light and being cleaned up. Every day more and more government money is being followed and finding corruption in non-government do-gooder organizations. How has that happened? Because we are too nice and too trusting.

“Trust but verify.” ~ Ronald Reagan

Therein lies the problem, as nice people we failed to pay close enough attention to what our elected officials and their minions have been doing. Now we are paying the price of our neglect. It is not too late to get our governments turned around. In the United States, many of our corrupt officials are choosing not to seek re-election, something like rats leaving a sinking ship and the “USS Corruption” is a sinking ship inside the Washington Beltway.

"It does not take a majority to prevail... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." ~ Samuel Adams

"It is infinitely better to have a few good men than many indifferent ones." ~ George Washington

Most people don’t know that only about 33% of the American colonists were in favor of the revolt against King George. About 33% of the colonists were against the revolution and another 33% just didn’t give a damn. Neither the United States nor Canada need a majority to do what needs to be done to fix our governments. However, both counties need “an irate, tireless minority” of patriots to step up as “a few good men” to flush the advocates for the One World Order from out of our midst.

"A lie doesn't become truth, wrong doesn't become right and evil doesn't become good just because it's accepted by a majority"~ Booker T. Washington

"The eternal difference between right and wrong does not fluctuate, it is immutable." ~ Patrick Henry

Time is short. If action is not taken soon, our grandchildren and great grandchildren will have a miserable future. Are we going to squander what has been willed to us from our forefathers? Or, with God’s help, are we going to do the right thing and end the lying, end the evil, and end the wrongdoing?
