Has life in America gone insane?
CNN ^ | Sun December 16, 2012

(CNN) -- Taking attendance.

That is the phrase used by the parent of a Sandy Hook Elementary School student, describing to a reporter what went on in the firehouse near the school as terrified mothers and fathers arrived in the minutes and hours after the shootings.

The mothers and fathers looked anxiously for children who had lived through the shootings and had been brought into the firehouse. The surviving children and their parents found each other.

But the other parents waited and waited. Their sons and daughters did not appear.

And as the mothers and fathers who had been reunited with their children left the firehouse to go to their homes, a list began to be compiled. On it were the names of the boys and girls who were not accounted for.

Has life in America gone insane?

This utopia was not intended to benefit everybody.

America knew how to handle these problems, until the Social Experimenters and social manipulators, busybodies, and fainthearts took over.

A nation rests on the quality of its homes. When common sense, decency and God were eliminated from child rearing, this country began its death spiral.

Forty years of deconstructing the system of internalizing controls through social taboos has produced thousands of disturbed and grossly maladaptive people with no sense of boundaries and controls. These types have always been around but now they exist in a society that teaches situational ethics, essentially nihilism. These almost weekly atrocities are the products of secular humanist teaching and a society that holds there are no absolutes except white racist guilt.
Americans had lots of guns for many years before the current epidemic of workplace and public shootings. Libs don’t like that fact brought out.

No rise in mass killings, but their impact is huge

Grant Duwe, a criminologist with the Minnesota Department of Corrections who has written a history of mass murders in America, said that while mass shootings rose between the 1960s and the 1990s, they actually dropped in the 2000s. And mass killings actually reached their peak in 1929, according to his data. He estimates that there were 32 in the 1980s, 42 in the 1990s and 26 in the first decade of the century.

Chances of being killed in a mass shooting, he says, are probably no greater than being struck by lightning.

Marxist president, fag marriages, monetized debt, deviant pop-culture, a dead GOP, dope legalization, psycho mass-murdering kindergarteners...

Yep, insane. Looks like a country on its last legs.

"Has life in American gone insane?"

Well, there is this very curious election of an unknown Kenyan Marxist, not once but twice, the second time against all reason. But if you do not believe fraud was at play to throw the election, then yes, America has gone insane.

Of course it’s insane. Most Americans decided they no longer want/need God. And this is the result. We are no longer blessed as a nation.

I don’t know if the whole country has gone insane, but there has definitely been an increase in schizophrenia and psychotic episodes, brought on by drug use. I don’t believe that this latest shooting was necessarily drug induced, though. The Drudge picture of the guy makes him look like he had Graves disease, which can include mental instability.

Well, 0bama did use his middle finger to wipe away his ‘tear.’

Ya gotta love it when the president of a country flips off the citizens of said country.

Is that classy or what. How about that.
