What has America Become?

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

      Let's 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 but if a black dislikes whites, it's their lst 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 its wrong to execute a mass murderer. 
• We don't burn books in America, we now rewrite them. 
• We force children to march in "gay pride" parades under the guise of "education."
• We supposedly rid the Communist and Socialist threat by renaming them Progressives.
• We are unable to close our border with Mexico but have no problem protecting the 38th parallel in Korea. 
• If you protest against President 0bama's policies you're a terrorist, but it you burned an American flag or George Bush in effigy, it was your lst 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. 
• A moment of silence in school is considered trying to force a religion.
• We can use a human fetus for medical research, but it's wrong to use an animal. 
• Home schooling your children to keep them from being indoctrinated into Leftist ideology is now considered "child abuse."
• We take money from those who work hard for it and give it to those who don't want to work. The land of opportunity ls now the land or hand outs.
• We 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.

      Who is responsible for this change from selflessness to selfishness? Is there really much difference between the two political parties in the United States? The similarity between Hurricane Katrina and the gulf oil spill is that neither president of either party did much of 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 re-election campaign. Who is responsible -WE ARE.
