Over the last 30 years this is what America has become?
Let's see now....If we lie to the Congress, it's a felony, and if the
Congress lies to us, it's "just politics". If we dislike a black person,
we're racist, and if a black dislikes whites, it's their First 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 or Jesus in the
process.
You can kill an unborn child, but it's wrong to execute a mass
murderer. We don't burn books in America, we now rewrite them. We got
rid of the communist and socialist threat by renaming them
progressives. We are unable to close our border with Mexico, but we
have no problem protecting the 38th parallel in Korea. If you protest
against President Obama's socialist policies you're a terrorist or a racist ,
but if you burned an American flag or George Bush in effigy, it was your First 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's 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, and tells us the problem is solved so they can
get back to their re-election campaign.
What has happened to the land of the free and home of the brave?
