Oh!  By the way, speaking of Sodom in todays age, Mexifornia's Proposition 8.  There you have it.  7,000,000 voters spoke, however, one lone agenda driven fudge pack appointed 21 years ago by a moderate/centrist leaning asshat voided "We the people".

Do elections have consequences?  You betchya.  The above is a classic example.  Both Party's are guilty of "We admit that things a[re] worse and worse."  Where do I believe it all derailed?  Education.  The gummint run liberal indoctrination centers, err, public schools and university's is where the dumbing down of our populous starts with the replacing of independent thought/freedom with group think/collectivism, belief in faith/religion with dependence on gummint/state.

This has been on a downhill slide since George W and The Floater {345 days sober] created the coercive financial nightmare NCLB that is only being exacerbated today by Jug Hussein Ears administration and his followers for their progressive agenda.

Look, when my money is being coerced/taken from me by the gummint to pay for other peoples healthcare, mortgages and  gummint controlled business feeding the destructive beast I have a major problem with it.

Yes, maidintheus, I agree with you on the concept of a "slowly developing" happening occurring in this nation, but it's a dangerous one.
