I checked this out on Snopes.com and got no response. Regardless, this "letter" expresses my concerns and beliefs 100%.
What has America become?
Editor,
Has America become the land of special interest and home of the double standard?
Lets see: if we lie to the Congress, it's a felony and if the Congress lies to us its just politics (http://www.examiner.com/politics); if we dislike a black person, we're racist (http://www.examiner.com/x-20681-San-Diego-Christianity--Culture-Examiner%7Ey2009m9d20-If-everyone-is-racist-is-anyone)and if a black person dislikes whites, its their 1st Amendment right (http://www.examiner.com/x-25060-Fort-Worth-Christianity--Culture-Examiner%7Ey2009m12d6-The-Bill-of-Rights); the government (http://www.examiner.com/government) spends millions to rehabilitate criminals and they do almost nothing for the victims (http://www.examiner.com/x-20681-San-Diego-Christianity--Culture-Examiner%7Ey2010m3d31-What-punishment-should-Amber-Dubois-and-Chelsea-Kings-killers-receive-Vote-in-Poll); in public schools you can teach that homosexuality is OK (http://www.examiner.com/x-20681-San-Diego-Christianity--Culture-Examiner%7Ey2010m2d3-Can-a-person-be-born-gay--homosexual), but you better not use the word God in the process; you can kill an unborn child, but it is wrong to execute a mass murderer (http://www.examiner.com/x-20681-San-Diego-Christianity--Culture-Examiner%7Ey2010m4d16-John-Gardner-pleads-Guilty-to-killing-both-Chelsea-King-and-Amber-Dubois--his-punishment); we don't burn books in America, we now rewrite them; we got rid of communist and socialist threats by renaming them progressive (http://www.examiner.com/x-20681-San-Diego-Christianity--Culture-Examiner%7Ey2010m5d19-Was-Jesus-a-Socialist-or-a-Capitalist); we are unable to close our border with Mexico (http://www.examiner.com/x-20681-San-Diego-Christianity--Culture-Examiner%7Ey2009m11d18-Men-raping-killing-women-and-children-along-the-border-of-San-Diego-county), but have no problem protecting the 38th parallel in Korea; if you protest against President Obama's policies (http://www.examiner.com/x-25060-Fort-Worth-Christianity--Culture-Examiner%7Ey2010m2d6-Joseph-Farahs-speech-at-Tea-Party-Weekend-in-Nashville)you're a terrorist, but if you burned an American flag (http://www.examiner.com/x-20681-San-Diego-Christianity--Culture-Examiner%7Ey2010m2d28-Americas-national-anthem-The-Star-Spangled-Banner-is-a-religious-song)or George Bush (http://www.examiner.com/x-20681-San-Diego-Christianity--Culture-Examiner%7Ey2010m2d9-Rick-Roberts-billboard-of-George-Bush-Miss-Me-Yet-comes-to-San-Diego)in effigy it was your 1st Amendment right.
You can have pornography on TV or the internet, but you better not put a nativity scene in a public park during Christmas (http://www.examiner.com/x-20681-San-Diego-Christianity--Culture-Examiner%7Ey2009m11d8-Christmas-Christmas-go-away-come-again-some-other-day); we have eliminated all criminals in America, they are now called sick people; we can use a human fetus for medical research (http://www.examiner.com/x-20681-San-Diego-Christianity--Culture-Examiner%7Ey2009m10d27-Schwarzenegger-signs-bill-to-teach-children-lies-about-stem-cell-research), but it is wrong to use an animal.
We take money from those who work hard for it and give it to those who don't want to work (http://www.examiner.com/x-20681-San-Diego-Christianity--Culture-Examiner%7Ey2009m9d10-Why-should-the-government-make-us-help-the-poor); we all support the Constitution (http://www.examiner.com/x-25060-Fort-Worth-Christianity--Culture-Examiner%7Ey2009m12d6-The-Constitution-of-the-United-States), but only when it supports our political ideology; we still have freedom of speech, but only if we are being politically correct; parenting has been replaced with Ritalin and video games; the land of opportunity is now the land of hand outs (http://www.examiner.com/x-20681-San-Diego-Christianity--Culture-Examiner%7Ey2009m11d21-Senate-convenes-at-night-to-crucify-the-nations-economy); the similarity between Hurricane Katrina and the gulf oil spill is that neither president did anything to help.
And how do we handle a major crisis today? The government appoints a committee to determine who's at fault, then threatens them, passes a law, raises our taxes; tells us the problem is solved so they can get back to their reelection campaign.
