I'd hate to be young at this point in this country's history. It is astonishing how much the character of the average person has diminished by the efforts of the people you mentioned. And the worst thing is, the people are fat, they have their TV, their porn, their movies, and all sorts of other diversions.... so there are no revolts or revolutions in the future to cleanse the place.
Just a slow rotten death of the beautiful creation for which the Founding Fathers sacrificed.
They have their politicians to give them whatever they whine for, especially if it involves other people's money or property. The politician racket is just another diversion funded by us, used to divert our attention from the creeping socialism and removal of morality from culture.
The good news is the government is completely bankrupt and the circuses will have to be cut back. It will get very ugly, but those cuts will only help in the long run.
