How is it that this country allows the sort of bigotry and hatred which permeates organizations such as White Supremacist groups? How do we arrive at shrugging our shoulders, rationalizing that they have freedom of speech and subsequently dismissing the matter from our public conscience?
Where do we get the temerity to pound our fists on the table and demand an end to the death penalty while in the same breath advocating for the right of a woman to kill an unborn fetus and sell its body parts? How do we justify having open and enticing borders, allowing "undocumented aliens" to come into our country, and then saying we don't have to feed them, house them or care for their medical needs because they're illegals?
Why is it that we send billions of dollars to other countries to care for their poor when we won't take care of our own? Why do we allow corporate giants to rape and plunder the pocketbooks of the sick, disabled and seniors by jacking up the costs of medical care and pharmaceuticals, while at the same time taking taxpayer money to further line the pockets of those same corporations through subsidies? Where do we get off in allowing our government officials to tell us they want to cure these healthcare problems, but we don't put a stop to campaign contributions from the same people they "seek" to regulate?
Why do we raise such a ruckus when the town drunk gets caught with acts of indecent exposure when we don't have the national courage to remove the corrupt politicians from their seats of power while they urinate all over public opinion and ignore the will of the people? Why do we allow drugs and crime to infest our streets?
Just where are our moral and ethical values?
When is the last time anyone in this country picked up a Bible to read from it or had the strength of virtue to read from it to our children?
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
