The American Way??

The FDA inspectors
And Homeland Security
It's scary to think that
They are “protecting” you and me.

The AFL-CIO unions
And the good ol' ACLU
The Chambers of Commerce
Are all against us, too.

The IRS can rob us
And nobody seems to care
Then, take our hard earned dollars
And spend them, “over there”.

Now, they throw people in jail
And courts turn a blind eye
They take away our Freedoms
And nobody, asks, “Why?”

They call it, “free trade”
But, it works, one way
Other countries reap the benefits
While we just pay and pay.

We borrow from every nation
We owe most every one
And they'll end up owning us
Before the spending is done.

We play by the rules
(At least, us common folk)
But for most the others
Fair play is just a joke.

Our Government sells us out
To the highest (or lowest) bidder
And the downfall of our Nation
Is something we must consider.

The people we vote into office
Seem to want to leave us out
Few of them seem to understand
What, the “real” World is about.

Illegals will overrun us
As we pretend it isn't so
If the terrorists don't do it first
Then it will be too late, you know.

Our Military is not good enough
Civilian guards make all the bucks
To guard our “important” folks
That's not fair and really sucks.

Our laws are only enforced
When it suits the occasion
“All are equal under the law!”
Doesn't work well in our Nation.

Even our Pres is interfering
To save a rapist and murderer
Because Mexico says it's unfair
That's really scary, that's for sure.

The Iraq war is more important
Than our children's wellbeing
And taking care of old folks
If fact, it outweighs, everything.

The “news” they shove down our throats
Is controlled, (like Murdoch) by a few
Britney and Paris make headlines
With things important, on page two.

Our kids can't even get safe toys
From companies we used to trust
We should hope they all get sued
Until those traitors all go “bust”.

We can't buy drugs from Canada
But half of the ingredients
We buy from Communist China
And that really makes no sense.

Now, they're talking about a ban
Of gun ownership by some Vets
While the criminals can get them
That's just how ridiculous it gets.

And we sit back and take it
Like, that's the way it should be
But, that's not the way it started
In this great, Land of the Free.

Our Founding Fathers would be shocked
To see, how their words are twisted
And they'd be shocked even more
To see how few of us resisted.
