I wish to be patriotic but I'm not really sure how to go about it. What should I do first? Oh, maybe I could get a better paying job so I could give my government more money. Maybe you could just get a job for the same reason. Times are tough though, and jobs are hard to find. I believe we should support our country and give until it hurts. Let's see if the following is anywhere close to a clear possibility or just plain foolishness.
What if (IF being the biggest possibility) the Donkeys and Elephants decided to do the best thing for America? What IF they started with themselves and cleaned their own stables before they tried to tell us how to be patriotic? Wouldn't the air smell a lot better in Washington? What IF they were to roll back (Walmart Style) their pay raise? Wouldn't that endear all of us to them? What IF they decided to spend less of our money on projects going nowhere? Wouldn't they gain more of your respect?
Here is a biggee: What IF they changed the tax code to make it easier for our leaders to comply?
There is just one problem with this foolishness, the animals are in charge and we are powerless until we finally smell enough of it and put the unfit ones out to pasture.

We do have it good in this country, whether a person is at the bottom or at the top. We have strayed from our original gift. All that we have is a gift from God. The hard workers in this country eat, sleep and smell it everyday, true. Washington has lost their abilities of knowing how good food is when we the workers can barely make ends meet. They've forgotten how good the bed feels when we lay down with a clear conscience. They've forgotten the small small things like the sweet smell of a child and all the simplicities that things money and power cannot buy.
