Crazy

The craziness goes on.

Only 30 years ago if you told the average adult these things would be happening now, they'd have called you crazy.

Terrorism strikes here at home, we respond by going to war, then when we get tired of fighting, want to say "never mind" and quit. Then again, I suppose that did happen in a little war in Vietnam. For everyone comparing this war to Vietnam and saying we should retreat just like we did there, they seem to have forgotten how many people died after we quit. To a seeming majority, it doesn't matter if a couple million Iraqis, then millions more across the rest of the middle east, die as a direct result of our retreat.

Gays want to get married. (Legally, that is. Nobody's stopping them from making a marriage-like promise in whatever ceremony they like on their own.) And are taken seriously.

Our taxes are to be increased to kill human embryos for experimentation because some have convinced most Americans that there might be miraculous cures in doing so. (Even though there's been nothing even close to success in lots of such experimentation so far)

The borders are open and illegal immigrants are streaming through in higher numbers than ever. And the national leaders tell us this is a good thing, and even tell us we're too lazy so these illegals are necessary. The insanity extends to a conviction of border agents for wounding a drug smuggler to a large prison term, while the drug smuggler (who's not a US citizen) goes free.

An entire political party, supported now by over half the population, openly espouses Socialist and Marxist doctrines. Most of their supporters don't even know what Marxism is. Or what life is like for the average citizen in those regimes.

God has been banished from society. The citizenry has been told, in no uncertain terms, to keep their religious faith to themselves. Schools teach atheism and eastern mysticism and even Islam, but can't even mention Christianity or Judaism. And most people of faith have accepted it with little complaint.

Companies have finished moving their plants out of the country, and are now moving foreign workers into the country to take the jobs of native-born Americans at a fraction of the pay. And most people go along.

There's something called "Political Correctness", which by definition is avoiding any speech or writing that might be taken as insulting by a particular group of minority ethnicity, religion, or sexual orientation. Even if such speech is not intended to insult said group; if one or two members of the group finds it offensive, the offender is persecuted mercilessly. But it's quite acceptable to actually be insulting and vulgar and even abusive toward white Christians.

The country has divided itself into two distinct groups, now labeled Blue and Red. And the color codes are opposite what you would think - Red is attached to conservatives. The Blues appear to have won, with full support of nearly all broadcast media. Which happens to be the only media seen by the majority of Americans.

The most dangerous enemies of the US are building nuclear weapons, and our leaders wring their hands but do nothing.

It's history repeating itself. Our great civilization is crumbling under the weight of its own ignorance and decadence. And when disaster strikes, most will be clueless as to its cause.
