You've Got To Believe In Yourself

[HARDCORE]

8-27-2016

There has never been a nation in the entire history of mankind that has not begun to deteriorate the very moment that enough of its population also stops believing in itself!

And I don’t care how technologically advanced, how magnificent its creations, or even how mighty its military, the moment that it begins to doubt itself, is the moment that it begins to erode and deteriorate!

There has also never been a shortage of arrogance among those who temporarily occupy some of the seats of power. Unfortunately however, rising to the top, and then remaining there, is far easier said than done, as many a once mighty nation has learned over the course of human history!

Ego, arrogance, complacency, laziness, and even political braggadocio, all have their places at the local barroom, but they lose much of their potency (like a 90 year old wanna-be stud), when talk alone becomes the political order of the day, or when any man of steel begins to tarnish and rust because of lack of use, the failure to innovate, or by allowing one’s self (and country), to be pushed around by foreign thugs, and this while relying far too much upon past glories and yesterday’s technology alone - to carry the day!

“We The Freedom-Loving People of the United States of America” however, have always been made of far tougher, and much more durable and lasting stuff than that!”
