GG is spot on. The left is cranking up all the excuses for bad behavior and ignores personal responsibility. The left is hoping to take over in 2006/2008 US elections and will govern as it talks. Expect soft treatment of criminals and perverts. Expect the honest citizens to be taxed more to pay for crap like midnight basketball (remember that Klintoon solution?)
As long as we don't have any leaders the 'rot' will continue. I cannot help but believe that if just one politically bent individual raised his voice and said "this country is going to hell in a handbasket and everyone knows it, I'm not going to let it happen, with your help we are gonna' clean house!" He/she will go directly to the people, tell the folks the plan, skip Congress and let the people tell the Representatives to get onboard or lose their coverted jobs and all it's the bennies. Deaming? maybe, but I'll bet most Americans would jump aboard.
