America, Where Are You



How did it come to pass that
belonging to a religion is now 
considered a stupid act?

And when being anti-American,
a sign of superior intellectuality?
When no respect for our laws on
the books are heeded?

When, did it become popular to
kill newborns, supported by 
women dressed as female body
parts, marching in the streets?

Worse, to express any and all
Conservative political opinions, 
as for this may mean you will be 
avoided or physically beaten?

The most insulting of all, to have 
mass murders, allowing the killer
to live, we just need his Manifesto
to justify it all?

And howling politicians dancing on
the graves of the dead like wolves!
Just to get into the White House?
Ungodly shameless, is all!

Two answers: 1.) America is a victim of its own success in a way: too much freedom/so many choices overwhelm people; and 2.) Parents do not pass on their values; kids wind up picking them up 'in the marketplace,' and the one most kids inhabit is mostly far-left. Moreover, the 'orderly' America of the 1950's was intolerant of all non-WASPs---not an America I'd like to return to. :) gw
