What has America become?

[Larry L]

I wish I had the intelligence to write something this good. Sadly, the comments ring all too true.


Has America become the land of special interest and home of the double standard?
[/size]Lets see: if we lie to the Congress, it's a felony and if the Congress lies to us its just politics; if we dislike a black person, we're racist and if a black person dislikes whites, its their 1st Amendment right; the government spends millions to rehabilitate criminals and they do almost nothing for the victims; in public schools you can teach that homosexuality is OK, but you better not use the word God in the process; you can kill an unborn child, but it is wrong to execute a mass murderer; we don't burn books in America, we now rewrite them; we got rid of communist and socialist threats by renaming them progressive; we are unable to close our border with Mexico, but have no problem protecting the 38th parallel in Korea; if you protest againstPresident Obama's policies you're a terrorist, but if you burned an American flag or George Bush in effigy it was your 1st Amendment right.[/size]
[/size]
You can have pornography on TV or the internet, but you better not put a nativity scene in a public park during Christmas; we have eliminated all criminals in America, they are now called sick people; we can use a human fetus for medical research, but it is wrong to use an animal.[/size]
[/size]
We take money from those who work hard for it and give it to those who don't want to work; we all support the Constitution, but only when it supports our political ideology; we still have freedom of speech, but only if we are being politically correct; parenting has been replaced with Ritalin and video games; the land of opportunity is now the land of hand outs; the similarity between Hurricane Katrina and the gulf oil spill is that neither president did anything to help.[/size]
[/size]
And how do we handle a major crisis today? The government appoints a committee to determine who's at fault, then threatens them, passes a law, raises our taxes; tells us the problem is solved so they can get back to their reelection campaign.[/color]
[/size]What has happened to the land of the free and home of the brave?[/size]

  Good post, and oh so true. The libs don't wan't to acknowledge what was mentioned, and most "regular" folk just roll their eyes at the morons and go on with their lives. Maybe that's what's wrong with America, we're all so wrapped up in "self", we never feel a call to action.  J

Since most of the menfolk in this country have turned chicken, it will only worse.  the masses are turning in their guns to buyback programs instead of buying ammo for those guns.

What has America become?
 
1. A political battleground for two major politcal parties that want total and complete control for nothing more than their parties' interests- not the peoples'
 
2. A soap box for crying and whining tree huggers, religious zealots, disrespectful kids, welfare rats, the power hungry, and the atheists.  All wanting to force the people to think their way- instead of respectfully not agreeing with everything that a melting pot has to offer.
 
3. A culture where reality isnt reality unless it comes from Opera Winfrey, Rosie O'Donnel, or Hollywood.
 
4.  In a nut shell- a society that has forgotten about respecting the individual thought process of their fellow Americans and want to censor your ability to operate as a free person in what is supposed to be a free nation.

Super article.  Thanks, Swift One.
It should be copied and sent to every Congressman and Senator.  And it should be required reading in every school.

as someone very close to me once said, and the older i get, the more true i see it ringing true: "We live under the tyranny of minorities..."
