Corruption abounds in every facet of the USA...from it’s politics, to business and throughout our nation now. It is each man for himself as there are no moral boundaries to stop it.
McConnell didn’t blink when he was presented with the offer they knew he would not resist. Our government is and has been up for sale....and our politicians want it that way.
Any group who opposes this status quo will be mightly opposed as we saw happening recently with this bill.
I fear we have passed, or are close, to the point of no return unless the people do rise up with a mighty voice, I can’t see that happening when we are fast being outnumbered as the influx of undesirables, and they are coming in masses, continues to infiltrate our nation...invited and otherwise.
It is worse than sad to see what has happened to this great nation....unfortunately the rest of the world sees while our youth and most Americans are terribly uniformed as the media sees to it that they are.
That's the ultimate tragedy of abandoning our Judeo-Christian heritage in exchange for the empty promises of multi-culturalism and "Separation of Church and State" secularism. What's the old phrase? "When people don't stand for something they'll fall for anything."
Sure, buzz-words like "tolerance" and "co-existence" sound, at first blush, open-minded. But they are little more than invitingly open doors to muddle-headed thinking. When a nation's individuals abandon notions of right vs. wrong and instead get caught up in discussions of what's legal vs. illegal, then that nation is on the wrong path. After all, not too long ago it was actually legal to kill Jews in Europe. Even Jewish children. Heaven help us when we set up Man (or a simple majority of a nation's men and women) as the ultimate arbiter(s) of the correctness of a thing; heaven help us when we don't look to God as the final authority of the appropriateness our actions.

C.S. Lewis noted that even during World War II there were periods of time, and some of them prolonged periods, where circumstances really did appear to be lost: where it looked as if the Nazis in Europe and the Imperial Japanese in the Pacific were, in fact, going to prevail. Sometimes the darkest point of night is just before the dawn.
I encourage you not to surrender to the temptation to abandon hope. Yes, things are bleak. In Virginia, for example, it is quite possible that in a few weeks we will elect Democrat Terry McAuliffe instead of conservative Ken Cuccinelli to be our next governor. And this, despite the fact that McAuliffe has no significant executive experience (outside of crony-capitalism ventures) and has troubling ties to several shady enterprises. Whereas Mr. Cuccinelli has an exemplary record and would make an incredibly good governor.
McAuliffe may very well be Virginia's next governor despite the fact he will likely use the Governor's Mansion as a springboard for Hillary Clinton's 2016 bid to the White House. (Just as Democrat Tim Kaine, our governor prior to our current one, Republican Bob McDonald, brazenly used Virginia resources to bolster Barack's bid in 2008. Then-Governor Kaine was, you see, also the chairman of the DNC. Thus, nary a peep was spoken by the news media about his abuse of his gubernatorial power because it was all for a good cause, don't you know.)
So again, things appear bleak. Distressingly bleak. But I for one refuse to toss in the towel. I encourage--no, I implore--you and everyone else: continue to stand firm. Hold. The. Line. Sure, the collectivists would no doubt kill us conservatives and individualists just as soon as look at us. After all, they know that in the arena of ideas they'd lose; they know that the only way they can win is to eliminate the competition rather than meeting it head-on.
And if that day comes where a collectivist toady points a gun to my skull because I refuse to knuckle under, I will look him in the eye and glaringly declare that though he can kill me, he can not make me yield.
