Defenders of American Islamic extremist John Walker Lindh have made it painfully clear that the tragic young man will probably become a poster boy for the sickness infecting our society. Though Lindh might not be not be solely responsible for the traitorous attitude toward his country, the socially-corrupted elements that subverted America, certainly are.

Included therein, are the power-elite who have undermined our education system, socialized our government, re-constructed our history, over-capitalized our economic system, elevated litigation to the level of legal terrorism, established an upper tier of injustice for themselves, and persecuted enormous classes of our citizens for the sake of political correctness.

Though the power-elite are few, it's frightening to realize how they have polarized the many into a superficial society of victims and victimizers, short on responsibility, and long on anti-American conditioning and misinformed ignorance.

Clearly, those who excuse the idea of John Walker Lindh bear the utmost contempt for patriotism and what America was meant to be. Instead of being subjected to unreasonable, un-American schemes and media-driven chaos, society needs to be re-examined with undeniable truth and rehabilitated with unfettered democracy.
