Fraying at the Edges

What is this country coming too? Five million of our older Americans have not yet signed up for their Medicare, Part D drug plan--they are old and confused. We are not going to grant them an extension! However, 12-20 million illegal aliens are in our country and we are going to allow them to stay, protest, march in the street, dictate the terms of American surrender, procreate, receive welfare and social security benefits, attend schools, pay little or no income taxes, shut down our hospitals, transport drugs, be responsible for doubling the rate of violent crime, and have our teachers take 300 hours of ESOL (English as a second language) training at our expense, etc. Then we are going to invite 100 million more illegal aliens to ignore immigration law and join the party.

Congress must really dislike Americans, particularly old Americans.

We worry about how terrorists are treated, these defective human beings who kill innocent people, but do we care about crime victims in America? It would not appear that we give a hoot. We worry about every minority and their imaginary rights, but not the inalienable rights of the people who built this country without demanding special privileges. We worry about homosexuals who have contributed to killing 40 million people worldwide by voluntarily spreading disease, but not the Alzheimer’s patients who outnumber HIV patients 10-1. We worry about serving a search warrant on a crooked politician as if Congress is a ruling class, above the law, while the media, setting aside this special time to humiliate themselves in public, knowingly and recklessly reveals classified information that will cause the deaths of American servicemen and intelligence agents.

Congress doesn’t worry about “saving” Social Security because everybody in Congress has already gotten theirs (voted themselves a “peach” of a system). They don’t give a damn about the rest of America. Congress and the media are consumed by which telephone calls the government is listening to, but do little (or nothing) to defend our nation from another Muslim attack or a foreign invasion of illegal aliens. While we mourn the brutal death of 3,000 Americans, the media ridicules as racist and shames ordinary citizens for reporting unusual behavior or joining the Minutemen. The media conceals the predictably Muslim affiliation of those in the United States and Canada who are committing violent acts or planning acts of terrorism, but they quickly reveal the identity of rape victims. We complain about the frequency of child abuse, but give a free pass to the largely homosexual clergy and Congressmen who have violated thousands of American youth. Most recently, we have begun to celebrate female teachers who rape their male students. It should be obvious by now, to almost everyone, that most liberals are dangerously under-medicated.

We Americans worry that we have no voice in the education of our children in the government-controlled schools, but too many of us mightily and foolishly try to control the freedom of speech of others. We convict and sentence to death those who brutally slay other human beings, but passively watch as the legal profession takes 15-20 years to appeal the death sentence at taxpayer expense, as if that's acceptable as part of the “Privileged Attorney’s Full Employment Act.” We celebrate violence in the movies, and obfuscate reality by calling Islam the “Religion of Peace,” but deny that it influences the decision making of children. Police departments no longer protect citizens from property or violent crimes to avoid law suits for pursuits, but government wants to deny you the right to bear arms in your own self defense. Too many politicians and judges run roughshod over citizens acting as revenue collection agents for their local city council while themselves refusing to enforce the laws and render justice.

All those in the power-oriented food chain want to nullify the 2nd Amendment to protect themselves. Have you noticed that politicians are incrementally excluding the legal right to bear arms in specific locations, which will eventually become anywhere? If you can't take a gun somewhere, or anywhere, or even use them in the self defense of yourself, your family and others who may be threatened, it's as good as denying you the right to own them. It is a wonder that Americans in general and the Supreme Court in particular fails to realize (or care) that any “restriction” what-so-ever on 2nd Amendment rights is an abrogation of the 2nd Amendment?

We Americans worry about a pervasive absence of morals and ethics in society, but federal judges take the Bibles out of schools and the word of God off documents and buildings. We worry about kids getting fat from fast food, but we won't close our borders and stop the drugs that are destroying the lives of tens of thousands of American youth. We haven't got enough of a birth rate to replace ourselves having sacrificed the lives of 40 million children since Roe v. Wade, but we continue to condone more divorce, plus more abortion as a form of birth control, and now euthanasia. The last 50 years illustrates a stark reality: conservatism is the belief in a transcendent moral order; and liberalism is the belief that there should be no moral order. You would think the choice at a ballot box would be clearer.

We worry about our civil rights and personal freedoms, but ill-informed liberals beg for more government regulation. We complain about the tax rate, but minorities scream to reduce the number of people who must pay taxes, and then legislatures create innovative new ways to redistribute the confiscated money of other people. We worry about poor education of our youth, but do absolutely nothing to encourage the gifted students or promote the educational process. The only pretense toward education we make today is to foolishly throw more money at it, most often because courts have ruled we parents no longer have any say in our children's education. In fact, no one fails a class in public schools anymore. They have simply become “passing impaired.”

We worry about oil shortages, but refuse to develop any form of energy (nuclear, refineries, natural gas, wind, oil exploration). We worry that jobs are going overseas, but add 1000 new regulations and increase taxes on small businesses each and every day. Incredibly, Congress transfers American sovereignty to world courts with NAFTA and CAFTA legislation, gifting foreign governments the right to sue Americans. Liberals somehow believe heavier taxation will create more American jobs. The next several years will illustrate the folly of that premise, as the federal tax rate reductions that were more than offset by state tax increases in every imaginable category, come home to roost. The phrase "working American" should be redundant, but it will probably become an oxymoron without conservative intervention to restore individual liberty.

We worry that foreign countries are stealing our technology, but we won't let the brightest and most gifted foreign students remain in America after we educate them. Instead, our immigration brain trust forces them to take the technology we taught them back to India and start their own wildly successful businesses. Then we welcome 20-100 million of the worlds least educated, least qualified, illiterate and least socially disciplined across the border contravening immigration law. How can it be unfair to say that every proposed piece of immigration reform legislation under consideration in the U.S. Senate, regardless of who claims congressional sponsorship, reduces the U.S. Constitution to a simple piece of bathroom tissue? Is there any U.S. Senator not currently a paid agent of Mexico?

We have asked all Americans to subsidize (first voluntarily and then by confiscation) rebuilding coastal communities damaged by nature, which will surely be destroyed again and again (100 billion dollars wasted each time). In the same breath, we think NASA, the never-ending source of incredible technology, is a waste of money and scrapping it is about time. We complain about the behavior of politicians, but hold none of them accountable for any number of high crimes and misdemeanors. We used to turn to God for answers to our prayers and problems, but we have proudly made government our "god," looking instead to government for solutions, and denounced the Christian faith. All other faiths (without value systems which liberals abhor) are of course welcome and proffered in public schools. And now Congress, working hard to ration consciousness, wrangles over making Hawaii a race-oriented state government that has as a stated intent to secede from the Union. More importantly, Congress will soon vote to have Americans pay taxes to the United Nations. Economically, fascism is evident everywhere in the United States, at every level of government, and Americans don't even know what that is. We complain about eminent domain, but state legislatures do nothing, failing to realize that without private property, there will be no liberty for anyone in America. In the meantime, state legislatures have made significant strides to regulate the public’s use of seat belts believing that wearing seat belts makes it harder for the aliens to snatch you from your car.

Congress has already achieved the distinction of becoming the bottom 6-inches in a cesspool of ethics and professionalism, just below the main stream media who are aptly and affectionately called the "maggots of society."

What has gone wrong with this country? Unfortunately, my Senator has been in Congress since 1987. If only we had elected an American! I suspect John McCain will seek political asylum in another state after leaving the U.S. Senate, but he will not be the first to leave Arizona. Governor Janet Napolitano, whose sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others, will hopefully leave before John McCain. Something has got to give real soon as the fabric of this magnificent nation appears to be fraying badly at the edges.
