Why we don't need 'change.'
By I.M. UlyssesDear Mr. Mulcair,
why do people like you always,
always, talk about 'change?' For the love of Pete, man, we do NOT need 'change'
all the freaking time! What OUR country NEEDS is STABILITY and moderation. We
need a firm hand on the tiller, to guide us through rough waters, not some idiot
trying to 'change' things.
Indeed, sir, change is not always a good thing. I remember
the days in this country when life slowed down on Sundays, and when only my
father needed to work for a living to support us. But then we had “CHANGE” and
then both my parents worked; and our lives did not markedly improve!
Now most of this ‘change’ happened under the leadership of
Trudeau, another person who wanted to 'change' this country. And boy, did he,
but not for the better sadly.
Indeed, it's because of guys like him that our country fell
into horrible debt, one we are still paying for. It was guys like him that made
it necessary for both parents to work because the idea of a 'job for life' went
out the window due to higher taxes to support the endless programs necessary
now because the cost of living as gone up.
It is because of guys like him, who were so narrow-mindedly focused on
‘change' that the social constraints we once had, such as fear of God, fear of
our parents, and fear of the law, were
wiped out in a head-long rush to appease perverts, crybabies, whiners,
social-outcasts and/or 'minorities.'
You see we 'changed' back then, too, Mr. Mulcair. And what
did that get us? Nowhere!! It actually led to a plethora of new and/or even
bigger problems we cannot control and are forced now to spend countless billions in tax dollars on
to mitigate.
Where once our values, our social morality, our genuine
human capacity for compassion rested on our personal beliefs and values, they
now rely solely on social programs paid by everyone. And when that is not enough, we also have
political-correctness, along with the Toolbags that promote it; passing laws
that limit our freedom of speech, of expression (except for those who promote
the line of bull being passed around as 'truth' and 'change' by idiots), while
limiting the power of the police to take action against those who legitimately
deserve to be behind bars.
In short, sir, the lunatics have taken over the asylum and
they are running wild all over the place. And here you come to me, cap in hand,
asking for support, because you think I want 'change?'
I HAVE HAD ENOUG OF CHANGE. The only 'change' I want to see
is for people to stop pandering to perverts, crybabies, bleeding-hearts, and
spoiled brats. I want people to say 'we've had enough, time to dial this back.
Time to allow God back into our lives, into the social fabric of our country.
Time to quit listening to the crazy and selfish ones among us, the one’s whose
morality is based not on Biblical or traditional values, but on jealousy,
self-righteousness, and greed. It's also
time to quit opening our doors to those people who come to our shores not to
give but to take; people who neither respect the right of others to speak
freely (because they are perpetually offended), or whose values are at complete
odds with those of Canadians.
Take my dad. He came
to this country over 50 years ago from Greece and worked hard all his life. He
did a number of jobs and tried to build a life for us. He never once complained
as others do now, about how this country was governed, who he had to pledge
allegiance too when he became a Canadian citizen, or how he was treated.
My dad learned English. He took low-paying jobs, even
started a small business and for a number of years did fairly well, before time
and circumstances forced him to do something else. And when he had a chance to move to the USA
where his sister, my aunt, decided to raise her Canadian-born kids, he stayed
behind in THIS country. Indeed, when the time came for him to marry the woman
that is my mom, she told her mother, my grandma, that she was not marrying
'John' she was 'marrying Canada.'
That Canada they knew no longer exists. It was killed off by
people who 'wanted change' and got it. In the process they killed off all the
good things that made this country great. Now both myself and my wife, like my
parents, need to work - indeed, I work TWO jobs to help pay the bills and I'm
an educated man too!
Like my dad, we see how the short-sighted polices forced on
to the government by social-change quacks and other assorted idealists, have
made it dangerous to go to neighborhoods that, as a child, I once felt
perfectly safe in. We have shootings daily, kids being raised by single moms,
parents fighting and divorcing because of easy laws, and the intuition of
marriage perverted by allowing gay people to 'marry' in the name of 'change'
and the nebulous idea of 'equality.'
Our values, Mr. Mulcair, have all gone down the crapper,
replaced not by a morality that all people can embrace but by a cold hard
political-correctness that smothers freedom, and oppresses whose hopes rest on
the providence of God and not the policies of government. It’s so pervasive,
infact, that that this country REEKS of it. It permeates almost every aspect of
our society and politics and creates more divisions and more problems than it
ever prevented; hence requiring even more of the 'change' you talk about and
more government and laws to combat it, along with higher taxes and more
spending too.
It is, therefore, not 'change' we need but common sense and
a return to the values that made us great. We need to go back to frugality, to
respect for the law not mere obedience of it. We need to put God back into our
classrooms, and quit pandering to perverts, idealists and those who are always
demanding 'change.'
WE need to cut taxes on hard-working people so that they can
enjoy the fruits of their labour, encourage free enterprise, and get government
to work for us and not for the agenda of promoted by idealists and idiots. WE
need to pay down the debts of this great land. We need new roads, cheaper
energy (not energy bought at artificially raised prices to support the
political proclivities of environmental idealists), a larger and more modern
defence force and security services, and less government in our lives telling
how to think or what to believe.
If you can or are willing to provide THAT, then you'll have
my whole-hearted support. But if you can't or won't then you need to go back and troll for votes among
the young, the naïve, the idealists, the drug addicts, the perverts, the lazy,
the crybaby whiners and the hopelessly stupid - in short, the 'useful idiots'
of that Lenin spoke of.
I'm not one of those. I love my country and Canadians. We
are a decent people, and we need to remember that. But more than that we need
to stop seeking 'change' and start working with what we have and make it
better.
A long time ago, man bought a piece of land. He dug a hole,
laid the concrete and built a house upon it. A few years later a tornado came
by and ripped it from its foundation. He lost all his possessions but his
family was safe. What did he do? Move? No. He checked the foundation and found
it sound. Then he rebuilt his house upon it, exactly like the one he had
before. When his neighbors asked him why he did it instead of moving away or
building something new, he said 'the things I had are gone but the memories are
the same. I can replace everything I bought but why would I want to replace my
memories? This is my home and I won't let some hot air make me leave it. I just
need to make it stronger and I will.'
I'm like him. Canada is my home and the “wind” are those
calling for 'change.' They may level my house but I'll be damned if I agree to
let them destroy me or my family. I want to REBUILD what I had because it was
GOOD, not move on and start fresh, or build something entirely new. The tornado, after all, did not prove that what I had was flawed,
only that it needed to be made stronger, NOT REPLACED.
If you will help me to rebuild my "home," and my
country, and make it stronger, then you will have earned a friend for life. But
if you are like the "wind" that blows and tries to destroy what I
know was good, and right, you may succeed in destroying what I had. But, rest
assured I will rebuild it and make it stronger. Just like that house in the story,
my foundations are set in concrete and they are strong. And because of that I
neither want or need 'change.'
Sincerely,
I.M. Ulysses.
