Will Rogers once said,  “I bet after seeing us, George Washington would sue us for calling him father”…. In my opinion, that statement is more true today than ever before. All but a few of our political leaders, from the White House to the halls of Congress, have slowly been taking us to a destination that would be totally foreign to the men of integrity who founded our nation.

These are crazy times… literally.

We have a bunch of knot-heads from both parties who want to grant amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants out of a professed compassion for them, while they have stony hearts concerning the native born Americans who are losing their jobs or having to take heavy wage cuts as a result. Anybody smart enough to count their toes knows that their real concern is that cheap labor is readily available to corporate interests.

Two fine Border Patrol officers do their jobs, get arrested for it and may well have to go into prison tomorrow, while our Injustice system  pardons the dope smuggler they shot. Tony Snow reportedly called the request of 51 members of Congress for a pardon for these men “nonsensical”, according to the AFP. The only thing nonsensical about this whole situation that I can see is the system that pardons a drug smuggler who illegally crossed our border so he can testify against two decent men who, in my opinion, deserve a full pardon, an apology, and a medal.

Our bridges, highways and other taxpayer-built infrastructure is being leased or even sold to foreign companies. Our country is a sovereign  nation, not a commercial opportunity to be used and abused for profit.

We have “hate laws” that make some forms of free speech a crime for some, but not for others.

We are told that in order to protect our freedom, we must be willing to give some of them up.

Maybe the biggest problem of today is that all too many of the hippie-draft-resistor-free love generation are now at the political helm. Just when you begin to think that things can’t get any more absurd than they are, they do.

• Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear. –Harry S. Truman
