America is more peril than it has ever been in its past. This isn't just business as usual.
We have a Supreme Court which refuses to enforce the Consitution they are sworn to uphold. Indeed, some members of that Court have openly expressed sentiments to the effect that the practises and opinions of other nations should be considered in rendering legal decisions in America.
An incestuous relationship exists between the legal establishment, which profits from the law, and the legislatures, which are CONTROLLED by that very legal establishment.
We have the two major political parties in the Country, solely on the basis of their own interests, IGNORING the daily invasion of illegal aliens across our borders and blind and deaf to the interests of Native Born Americans and those foreign born Americans who have taken the time, trouble and effort to comply with our laws in becoming legal residents or citizens.
We are denied the right of initiative and referendum or recall on the Federal Level, and Federal Congressmen, using the power of their offices, have turned what should be a mere episode in the life of a public spirited citizen into a well-financed life-long sinecure.
I could on and on.
But again, my main concerns in this post lie with the lack of Congressional action to stop serial predators like Rodriguez from repeating their outrages on more innocent angels like Ms. Sjodin.
Agree with almost everything you have to say, Zulu....
but don't you think that we citizens are becoming like sheep ourselves...
in days gone by, if this type of thing happened to your dtr, the perp would be dead by now, or at least we would have mobs of people guarding him outside his little one man cell, letting him know that his turn is coming...
not to blame religion, or Christianity, but I think too many people hide behind "forgiveness" and "God will be his judge" etc...
there is no way a loving God would not allow His people to protect themselves and their children from such evil...
I also think that God will punish people that just sit by, passively as innocent children are killed.....
I would love to have Mr. Sjoden come out and tell the cops and the media that he has heard from Dru, that she just ran away, and that they should free Mr. Rodriquez immediately....
then just take care of business if you know what I mean.....( maybe we can do the same with Scotty)
