What has America become?

What has America become?

Editor,

Has America become the land of special interest and home of the double standard?

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 against President 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.

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.

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.

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.

What has happened to the land of the free and home of the brave?

"What has America become?"........UNAmerican. The nation is unrecognizable to me......ALL great things eventually unwind.....you are
witnessing that process,as we speak.JMO

I have to shake my head. For those of you who have grown to hate America; where would you rather live? Where else are your freedoms enshrined in the founding document? Where else are the poorest still better off then most of those in the rest of the world?

:thumbsup:

While I agree that ,in general,America does NOT understand grinding,never-ending lack of water,resources and money,HOWEVER,you are
truly misguided if you believe that the constitution is alive and well and that America is on the road to an economic recovery. TRULY
selfish,egotistical,greed motivated individuals have brought this country to ruin and it will be at least a decade or so before there will be
ANY sign of real improvement.....you are witnessing the demise of this country.....JMO

You're seeing the birthing pangs of a future socialistic utopia... get use to it.

lol lol Yes indeed. It's going to be just like former E. Germany. Everyone will be guaranteed work.. on the farms... everyone will be fed.. soup two times a day, but hey.. who can complain, it's a meal.. When you go out in the field to work, you will do so and point your ass toward the capitalists who have no clue of what real life is all about.

Oh, And, let's not forget the fence at our borders to keep all the happy folks from leaving. The best news is our immigration problem will be solved. lol

A Fabian Socialist experiment. Below is a brief description of them and their goals.

We have become so spoiled. We are privileged beyond any others yet there are those who continually bemoan their fate. Like Charlie Sheen or Lindsey Lohan instead of celebrating ypur good fortune you find a way to become the victim of it. Be careful you don't destroy it all.

Of particular interest, search "The Road We Are Traveling" written by Stuart Chase in 1942, and look at the list of 13 things planned by the Fabian Society and answer beyond any question, what has America become?
