BLAME ME

by Michael Douglas Carlin

IT IS ALL EVERYBODY ELSE'S FAULT


The blame game is alive in America. It isn't your fault. None of it. You didn't do anything to deserve this. There are so many to blame. The list is endless. And if you really want to blame someone, then blame me. I did it. Whatever it is that causes you unhappiness, I was the one that made it happen. It was a conspiracy of so many of us that just wanted you to be unhappy, and you are right about not having anything to do with it.

That is not what America really is all about.

America is all about taking responsibility. Standing up and being accountable. Taking matters into your own hands. Working hard to achieve results. Taking whatever circumstances you have today to create a better more prosperous tomorrow.

I was on a radio show throughout the state of Texas. They wanted to begin with some California bashing. I told them not to ever count California out. We have a resiliency that they will see come out over the course of the next several years.

The situation in California may look bleak right now, and we may have questions about how we got here, but we all know that we did this to ourselves. We all share in the responsibility for the failures in California, but, when it turns around, and it will turn around, we will also be able to claim our share of the victory.

Turning California around begins with us all understanding where we are and taking responsibility for ourselves, our families, and our communities. Then, we will all join together to work hard and to make our tomorrows more prosperous.

America always wins; California always wins. Because we win together. Because we take responsibility for our failures and turn them into our successes.

God said "Forgive" But, I made them boil up inside

Hold on to their anger and hate denied at the Pearly Gate

God said Turn the other cheek I made them fight back and seek revenge

Blood soaked and drenched, fists clenched tight

I lead them to a life of living hell

All in the know say let it go

But, anger destroys so keep it in

At the Judgment Bar

Blame it all on me

See if they let you in
