We are on the verge of another Alamo, time to take back our Country.
Not exactly a good parallel. In the 1800s the people of the United States had a mentality towards expansion and colonization of new land. Today the people are afraid of their own shadow and will give up everything if someone will just mouth the words 'Security'.
The West has changed, at one time people lived to make a better life for their children, now many are DINKs who only see the end of their lives as the end of all that matters.
Under most circumstances, this crap we have all seen in the past few days would have begat a civil war. But we don't actually inconvenience ourselves with physical combat, afterall "American Idol" is on TV - we trust our politicians to "do something". So why is no one out in the streets fighting? For a thousand reasons, but why I don't jump out in the street and wage war against the invasion is that in the end, why? Each day we are told that we want socialism and want to destroy the idea of individuality. Do I really want to sacrifice my life so that my neighbor can yawn and continue in the self destructive ways of hedonism and narcissism?
I guess as long as the lights are on, and there is a roof over my head, there is no reason to upset the status quo. THAT is why there is no Alamo.
