An editorial by Ken Hubard, I believe in the Tamas newspaper.
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?

Where he says "we all support the Constitution", Obama actually said several years ago that "the Constitution is a flawed document" and needs to be rewritten or abolished/replaced (and there are millions of his followers who agree with him about that)!
The land of the free was overrun by Force, and there are too few Braves remaining to do one blasted thing about it.
