Before the door closes, we should remember that much of what was special about this country is now gone. I don’t think Farah’s article is that far-fetched, though it would certainly take time.
As a country we are in a moral and economic pit. It’s hard to see how we extract ourselves given the current state of the education system, border control, and a shredded currency.
There is a great deal of good in this country. Since when did freepers become America haters like those at DU.
What was so special about this country is that we accepted the hungry, weary, etc. etc. Now those people are the people who will destroy us, either by terrorism or soaking our healthcare/welfare system. And these people walk freely across our borders with backpacks, then sue us -- and win -- if one of them dies or is shot by a border agent. Then we can lock up the border agents to make serious statement about just how diverse-omania we are.
