IT ONLY SEEMS

THAT

a nation that rose to be the most successful of any in the history of the world could abandon what got them there and embrace all the cultures of the people who came to this country to get away from theirs.

a nation that was founded on religion and male no mistake our nation was. It was not founded by jailbirds as one history prof of mine declared, it was not founded by greed for gold, it was founded and fostered by religion and now, and now the courts listen to atheists who claim In God We Trust on our coins somehow violates them.

a nation that was the richest in the history of the world would ever consider a redistribution of wealth after those very socialistic schemes have failed in every country that has tried it.

anyone could buy into universal health care and believe that it would be better than the current system. That a government that cannot keep the postal service solvent could be in charge of health care. That it would take a document 2,100 pages long to explain and sell to the legislators.

that the nation would elect as its leader a man who never authored a single bill in his brief time as a legislator.

I'd wake up one morning (I think it was Clinton's first year in office) and everything I had been taught was suddenly wrong.

a nation could tell Israel where to add housing on land God gave to them.

I'm on the outside looking in. I've become a man without a country. Or unfortunately so it seems.
