None of these examples could have even been imagined 50 years ago--- so what changed our culture to begin to believe this way?


     You  know you live in a Country run by idiots if...

     You can get arrested  for expired tags on your car but not for being in the country illegally. 

     Your government believes that the best  way to eradicate trillions of dollars of debt is to spend trillions more  of our money.

     Children are forcibly removed from  parents who appropriately discipline them while children of  "underprivileged" drug addicts are left to rot in filth infested cesspools  of a “home”.

     Hard work and success are  rewarded with higher taxes and government intrusion, while slothful, lazy  behavior is rewarded with EBT cards, WIC checks, Medicaid, subsidized  housing, and free cell phones. 

     The government's plan for getting people  back to work is to provide 99 weeks of unemployment checks (to not work). 

     Being self-sufficient is considered a  threat to the government.

     Politicians  think that stripping away the amendments to the constitution is really  protecting the rights of the people. 

     The rights of the Government come before  the rights of the individual.

     You can  write a post like this just by reading the news headlines.

     You pay your mortgage faithfully,  denying yourself the newest big screen TV while your neighbor defaults on  his mortgage (while buying iPhones, TV's and new cars) and the government  forgives his debt and reduces his mortgage (with your tax dollars).

     Being stripped of the ability to defend  yourself makes you "safe".

     An 80  year old woman can be stripped searched by the TSA but a Muslim woman in a  burka is only subject to having her neck and head searched.  

     Using the "N" word is considered "hate  speech" but writing and singing songs about raping women and killing cops  is considered "art".

     ====================================

     Unfortunately, this list could go on and on. Our country is run by  idiots.
     We are in distress. Where do we go from here?

 
I've been quiet - licking my wounds, which have far from healed - since the election. Lost because of the fact that I am so out of step w/ the public weal that I should just keep my mouth shut.

Now the Connecticut Massacre & the attendent assault on the 2nd Amendment - as if all the posturing can legislate insanity.

I've been quiet but I'm about to "come out". Stay tuned...if you care a wit.
