America went insane in 2008.

since you asked.

but it is amazing, a great wonder really, just how much worse they manage to make things...almost every day....

didn’t Dante’s Hell only have 7 levels of getting worse and worser ?

I’m confused, wasn’t it o’blowhard that said of the elderly that it might just be better to give them a pain pill ?

“Does this mean that John Boehner can finally get some testicle implants?”

Gold star for that snark.

When the Kenyan said he was going to “fundamentally transform” America, I didn’t think he meant that he was going to transform it into a nation of raging lunatics.

‘America has descended into total madness.’

I agree. I can only imagine if Rip Van Winkle fell asleep in 1984 only to awaken today.

Some days I look around and am absolutely flabbergasted by the insanity!

Can’t recall about Dante, but what’s the old saying... “Whom the Gods Destroy, they first make mad.”

That seems to be America at this point.

They pay for it because the freaks at the APA have decided that homosexuality and transsexuality are not mental disorders. Which they are! If transsexuality is a medical condition than an insurance must pay for it.

The image of these old coots getting genital reconstruction is laughable and nauseating at the same time. The American Dream: You can get anything you want at any time you want. Sick beyond measuring.

Not anything. Indeed, my mother, who has cancer, was just informed today that Medicare is cutting her home-health care service.

Yep, that gets axed. But, Medicare is fine with opening up its coffers to wackos wanting to be surgically transformed into an army of RuPaul’s.

America has become a sick, sick place.

Yes indeed,

For cunningly of old
was the celebrated saying revealed:
evil sometimes seems good
to a man whose mind
a god leads to destruction. ...(Sophocles, Antigone 620-3)

(and Dante’s Hell has at least 9 levels. The lawyers are sent to Level 3, where they are confined to a hot burning metal box to suffocate forever , or something like that... what goes around, comes around..)

So now somebody who wants to change at any age can get themselves declared disabled, get SSI, wait two years for Medicare and get mutilated.

In addition to House Speaker JB, what about backbone implants to a number of RINOS!

Most of 'em need horn removal and trunk extensions....to be proper elephants, of course.

An addadicktome trumps being able to walk I guess.

Yup. We’ve lost it. Not as a God-fearing people, but the ones in charge have lost it for us. Prayers for your mother to get the care she needs somehow.
