Camels on the Horizon

Rather though provoking!

Camels on the Horizon
The founder of Dubai, Sheik Rashid, was asked about the future of his country, and he replied, "My grandfather rode a camel, my father rode a camel, I ride a Mercedes, my son rides a Land Rover, and my grandson is going to ride a Land Rover but my great-grandson is going to have to ride a camel again".
Why is that, he was asked?
And his reply was: Hard times create strong men, strong men create easy times. Easy times create weak men, weak men create difficult times.
Many will not understand it, but you have to raise warriors, not parasites."
And add to that the historical reality that all great empires -- the Persians, the Trojans, the Egyptians, the Greeks, the Romans, and in later years,
the British -- all rose and perished within 240 years.
They were not conquered by external enemies; they rotted from within.
America (THE USA) has now passed that 240 year mark, and the rot is starting to be visible and is accelerating.
We are past the Mercedes and Land Rover years; the camels are on the horizon.

The greatest USA generation consisted of 18 year old kids storming the beaches at Normandy.
And now, two generations later, some 18-year-old kids want to hide in safe rooms when they hear words that hurt their feelings.
They also want free stuff from the government because they think they are entitled to it.

Our solution from the standpoint of federal and some state standpoints seems to be to take over everything and think for each individual --
how to think, how to do our daily work (or whether to work), how to handle our medical care, how to invest our money, how to spend our money, how much money to give the government since government has no product but can only take money from us.

The "camels are on the horizon". There can be no doubt...
Folks -- this is called Communism -- of this there is no doubt.

How are we going to stop this sad happening?
When it is finally admitted, we will be fully engulfed into one of the saddest situations we could ever envision:
* Individuals will be silenced. News media will be told what to say and print.
* Schooling will consist of indoctrination in the benefits of Communism. Your housing will be converted into communal living by groups whose makeup is determined by government. Your bank and savings accounts will be turned over to the government. Your retirement account will be absorbed by government because "every body has the right to retire". You will work for the same wage as all other workers.
** If you won't work, you won't eat. If you complain you will be silenced forcibly.

Folks -- Communism is on the horizon -- of this there is no doubt.

The only 18 year olds who get publicity are the ones hiding in mommy and daddy's basement.

Plenty of them are out working, serving in the military, on their way to becoming productive and useful citizens.

Blame the media.  They are the ones championing the weak.

Dubai was always destined to fail. It is all artificial. Bolstered on oil money. They don’t even have a sewer system. Sewage is trucked out into the desert to be processed. It is like the worst temporary festival in history. It will run for years but with the next generation not trained to run the party it will eventually collapse. Sooner if oil takes a serious turn.

Only good line in a horribly-written article.
