BTW, the analogy drawn by the cartoon above is absolutely correct. Liberalism with the guiding hand of Islamic fundamentalism will be the end of America as we know it, which will then lead to the deterioration along with the rise of socialism in the free world as a whole as the end result.

Big and waaaaaaay bigger government is not the key to our success. It costs us HUGE piles of cash, and last time I looked .... we didn have any of those, but don't tell the government, they'll just offer to print MORE, and tell us not to worry about that 30% it costs us for each new dollar minted.

Political correctness is not the key to our success. It stymies freedom, while making criminals out of people who thought they had a right to dissent or speak their mind.

Socialistic agendas of the government ruling every segment of our lives is not the key to our success. Again it costs HUGE piles of cash and only further diminishes our freedoms and rights, which is great if you're the cats at the top, but shit if you're not. Though slavery was officially abolished quite some time ago, it's back, and with a brand new name, a few new twists, but all the same underpinnings.

The key to our success and continuation as a society is the same as it's always been. Do what's necessary for yourself, accept responsibility for your own success AND failures, work hard and do what's right and be cognizant of what IS right in regards to others.

I'd like to think I could look back on the events of today in 20yrs and say they were for the best. The reality I fear will greet us is looking back in 20yrs and wondering will lead more to queries like "How the hell did we screw up our government and society so badly in such a short span?"
