Puh-lease.

The "internal moral decay" is in the damn White House.

RE: Buh-bye by ldsudduth :: NR6

The "internal moral decay" is in the damn White House.

Scott, it goes beyond the White House, it's everywhere. Take this as an example. The mayor of Portland actually chastizing the government for arresting illegal aliens. Why, the audacity! can't you just see how getting rid of the cheap, non-english speaking, illegal labor will just bring our economy to its' knees.

It's not just immigration laws, either. Our entire politcal system is bloated and panders to all sorts of special interest groups; ranging from big business, to the NIMBY people who want things like electricity and gasoline to run their cars, and prisons for lawbreakers--they just don't want the facilities responsible for these things to be in their back yard.

Nope, the whole system is corrupt and falling apart; just like the Roman Empire. What is that line from the Notebooks of Lazarus Long (Thank you Robert Heinlein)?

"When people realize they can vote themselves Bread and Circuses, They Will."

We have done just that.
