WHATS WRONG WITH AMERICA ?

Other than devolving into a dishonest, litigious and superficial society of instant gratification, selfish interests andextremes -- the gross failures of good intentions over the last half-century have cause many Americans to be infected by a parasitical "Andromeda Strain" disease with symptoms, including but not limited to: misrepresentation in government; rancorous politics; partisan corruption; congressional inquisitions; monarchial presidencies; lawmaking judiciary; government empire-building; over-regulation; punishing taxation; radical environmental obstructionism; tyrannies of guilt; foreign intrusions; selective intolerance; sacred-cow syndrome; victimism; psychological mania; commercial insanity; irresponsible entertainment and media; self-absorbed symbolism; fascist phonies; socialisms; reconstruction of history; moral relativism; abdication of parenthood; a public education system of indoctrination, factories of ignorance and warehouses of violence; and the unintended consequences of the betrayal of democracy.

The cure? Look in the mirror. For the overwhelming majority, it's common sense and the collective judgment of us. We simply cannot allow the results of the 2008 presidential election, state and local elections, to turn most Americans into a giant underclass. That is why our forefathers and mothers fought the Revolutionary War.
