DoughtyOne;

I agree with just about every thing you said except this- "Political leaders, we are watching."

The fact is that we aren't watching. Okay, well, maybe we are watching- but what we are watching is American Idol, Britain's Got Talent, or YouTubeTwitterFacebook.

The level of incompetence and ineptness is unprecedented by the Obama administration, yet if you see the newspapers or magazines, what you will see is an orgy of his first, glorious 100 days. And the reason that these supposed news outlets can make these ridiculous claims is that no one is watching or holding anyone accountable.

Self-indulgence and self-awareness has taken over rational thought. How else can you explain an administration that would even consider prosecuting the previous administration for taking steps that could possibly prevent another attack such as that seen on September 11, 2001? In less than eight years, we have become more interested in a British spinster than in our own national security.

I truly fear for America, and even though is was heartening to see the Tea Parties remind us of the dangers that lurk in our government, I believe it is too late. The taint is far too deep and broad.

The only solutions I see are relocation to a less "advanced" culture- one that places personal integrity and responsibility over fashion and feigned cleverness; or a designed and methodical takeover of a state or states and a subsequent secession from the USA.

And now is a good time to do it, because the political leaders are NOT watching.

God Bless you B. Olson. RIP

Well, I suppose Obama is playing to his base: liberals, European weenies, and Muslims.
