Today's world is absolutely upside-down, backwards, and inside out. I tend to try to tell myself that we have been vaporized without our knowledge and transported to a world where up is down and down is up, where white is black and black is white -- since 2007-08, anyway, and we will wake up soon. (Yeah, yeah, too many *original* Star Trek episodes are showing their influence.)
Today's world is a world in which most of us who are over 50 (who remember a different [better] America) are constantly shocked, surprised, incensed, frightened, and "mind-boggled" over the occurrences of the past 4 years or so.
This detailed, sourced post is an extremely accurate representation of where we are today. The primary question that's been bothering me for the past almost 4 years has been: How the hell did this happen??? Immediately followed by Why the hell did this happen????
Answers come to mind for both questions; not one of them is a good enough answer, though.
- The unfortunate majority of the American people allowed themselves to be overwhelmed by an imposed-guilt based "racism."
- The unfortunate majority of the American people really, really, really seemed to believe -- or at least wanted to believe -- that just by electing a man who happened to be black, the act would magically erase that imposed guilt.
- The unfortunate majority of the American people really, really, really seemed to believe -- or at least wanted to believe -- that even if that black man had no qualifications whatsoever to be the senator he had been, much less President elect of the United States of America, it was a "good thing" to elect him anyway.
- The unfortunate majority of the American people really, really, really seemed to believe -- or at least wanted to believe -- that maybe there was a black man who could "show" the country that blacks were (finally!) equal . . . after all, all the media said so, right?
5. The unfortunate majority of the American people were just plain stupid!
The link posted above, I think, absolutely delineates the most concerning aspects of what has occured in the past 3+ years to fundamentally transform our Republic into a pseudo-totalitarian, pseudo-banana republic, the laughingstock of the world.
This is what the unfortunate majority of the American people really wanted? I honestly do not think it is -- even the very far Left whose primary regret is that the transformation is not complete and (Dear God willing!) will never be complete!
For those who were honestly duped, allowed themselves to be duped, pulled into the world of "guilt," or allowed their liberal-tinged dreams to take over -- even they must be in shock. Even they can't possibly have thought our country would be so easily and rapidly taken to the brink of total destruction.
In a very short few months, we will go to the polls again to vote for President of the United States of America.
In a few short months, we will decide whether our Country will accelerate its deterioration into a nonentity subservient to the control of the "United Nations" or start the slow and very difficult return to the full-fledged, independent, proud, self-sufficient Republic envisioned by our forefathers.
God willing it is the latter.

You know you live in an Upside-down Land if... • A Muslim officer crying "Allah Akbar" while shooting up an army base is considered to have committed "Workplace Violence" while an American citizen boasting a Ron Paul bumper sticker is classified as a "Domestic Terrorist".

You know you live in an Upside-down Land if... • Children are forcibly removed from parents who appropriately discipline them while children of "underprivileged" drug addicts are left to rot in filth infested cesspools. You know you live in an Upside-down Land if... • Working class Americans pay for their own health care (and the health care of everyone else) while unmarried women are free to have child after child on the "State's" dime while never being held responsible for their own choices. You know you live in an Upside-down Land if... • Hard work and success are rewarded with higher taxes and government intrusion, while slothful, lazy behavior is rewarded with EBT cards, WIC checks, Medicaid and subsidized housing. You know you live in an Upside-down Land if... • The government's plan for getting people back to work is to provide 99 weeks of unemployment checks (to not work). You know you live in an Upside-down Land if... • Being self-sufficient is considered a threat to the government. You know you live in an Upside-down Land if... • Politicians think that stripping away the amendments to the constitution is really protecting the rights of the people. You know you live in an Upside-down Land if... • The rights of the Government come before the rights of the individual. You know you live in an Upside-down Land if... • Parents believe the State is responsible for providing for their children. You know you live in an Upside-down Land if... • You can write a post like this just by reading the news headlines.

You know you live in an Upside-down Land if... • Using the "N" word is considered "hate speech" but writing and signing songs about raping women and killing cops is considered "art". Unfortunately, this list could go on and on. Our world has been turned upside-down. We are in distress. Where do we go from here? "COWARDICE asks the question - is it Safe?" "EXPEDIENCY asks the question - is it Politically Correct?" "VANITY asks the question - is it Popular?" "But the CONSCIENCE asks the question - is it Right?" "And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither, Safe, nor Politically Correct, nor Popular, but one must take it, because its RIGHT!!" | ||
Where we go from here is to make sure we speak to our families, friends, neighbors, acquaintances about the options we face today. If they are as appalled, frightened and concerned as we are, then we know where they stand already.
If they are not, merely bemused . . . we must speak with them, to try to make them see. We must be kind, thoughtful, calm, clear-headed, and above all, remember that violence never solves anything -- no matter how impossible the situation may appear.
We must remember, simply, and constantly that it is our Country at stake: its deterioration or revitalization.
November, 2012 will provide the answer.
