We live in Upside-down land...

[skydivr]

This was just too good to post - the irony...: Upside-down Land 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... You can get arrested for expired tags on your car but not for being in the country illegally. =========================================================== You know you live in an Upside-down Land if... Your government believes that the best way to eradicate trillions of dollars of debt is to spend trillions more of our money. =========================================================== You know you live in an Upside-down Land if... A seven year old boy can be thrown out of school for calling his teacher "cute"but hosting a sexual exploration or diversity class in grade school is perfectly acceptable. =========================================================== You know you live in an Upside-down Land if... The Supreme Court of the United States can rule that lower courts cannot display the 10 Commandments in their courtroom, while sitting in front of a display of the 10 Commandments. =========================================================== 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... You pay your mortgage faithfully, denying yourself the newest big screen TV while your neighbor defaults on his mortgage (while buying iphones, TV's and new cars) and the government forgives his debt and reduces his mortgage (with your tax dollars). =========================================================== You know you live in an Upside-down Land if... Your government can add anything they want to your kid's water (fluoride, chlorine, etc.) but you are not allowed to give them raw milk. =========================================================== You know you live in an Upside-down Land if... Being stripped of the ability to defend yourself makes you "safe". =========================================================== You know you live in an Upside-down Land if... You have to have your parents signature to go on a school field trip but not to get an abortion. =========================================================== You know you live in an Upside-down Land if... An 80 year old woman can be stripped searched by the TSA but a Muslim woman in a burqa is only subject to having her neck and head searched. =========================================================== HERE IS ONE THAT I ADDED You know you live in an Upside-down Land if... You win a million dollars in the lottery and you can still get your food stamps and assistance because you don’t work. Imagine that one... =========================================================== Unfortunately, this list could go on and on. Our world has been turned upside-down. We are in distress. Don't sit on your hands and moan.. do something..for a change.. in our GOVERNMENT !!

Did a little research -

"hosting a sexual exploration or diversity class in grade school" - not true - class was at Northwestern University, not a grade school

"Muslim woman in a burqa is only subject to having her neck and head searched" - not true - see here under head coverings - the "head covering" will be patted, could be required to be removed, and the traveller is still subject to a pat-down search (see "loose-fitting garments")

"You win a million dollars in the lottery and you can still get your food stamps" - depressingly true - read - as are the rest

"There may be no candidates and no measures you want to vote for, but there are certain to be ones you want to vote against. In case of doubt, vote against. By this rule you will rarely go wrong. If this is too blind for your taste, consult some well-meaning fool (there is always one around) and ask his advice. Then vote the other way. This enables you to be a good citizen (if such is your wish) without spending the enormous amount of time on it that truly intelligent exercise of franchise requires." - Robert A Heinlein

Heinlein is one of my favorite authors - Starship Troopers - before Hollywood hacked it up - was a great example of what it takes to be a true 'citizen' and how it effects franchise...

Imagine if our nation's founding father's were suddenly transported into our time and could see how this once great nation is spiraling towards destruction. A nation where effective leadership and common sense have become as rare as a near-perfect condition issue of "Amazing Spider-Man #1 comic book.

[chrisjp]

to say we can change the government is like saying you only drain and replace 1/3 your oil and think it will make a difference.

The U.S. has fallen and there is no turning the clock back now. The sad thing is we were not overtaken by a superior military force that invaded our land. It just took a small percentage of our liberal citizens carrying a political correctness banner and instead of fighting for the values this country was built on, we apologized.
