You can feel it. You see it. You're living it. You can read about the destruction and decline of America everywhere.

Standing in line at a parts counter here in northeast Oklahoma yesterday, and there were two guys standing behind me having a conversation about Michele Bachmann.

He replied "Yeah..." then he kinda looked at me and said "Y'know, I didn't know her well, but she seemed like a typical law student to me.

I just got a Census update in the mail from our local Gov't. They noted I was 'randomly selected' and was very important that I respond to their request. And if I didn't respond, they would do a follow-up. Bring it on ... I put in a note saying I WILL NOT provide any information about myself or family until the Gov't (local and national) takes substantive steps to curb illegal immigration. I've had it folks. If I get anymore RNC fundraising letters I'm going to do the same.
