What is happening to this country?

Conservative radio titan Rush Limbaugh is squeezed out of a consortium seeking to purchase a football team in his home town. By whom - Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson? On what basis? He was invited to join the investment group. They came to him; he didn’t go to them. Yet, he’s just been pushed out under pressure from the two best known “racial hustlers” in the nation. How can this be?
A New York high school student and Eagle scout, with an appointment to West Point, is given a 30-day suspension from school for having a two-inch pocket knife, as part of a survival kit, locked in the trunk of his car. New York law does not even consider such a knife to be a “weapon”. Yet, the suspension stands anyway. How can this be?
After a summer rife with town hall meeting protests, we’re about to have a health bill, full of onerous provisions that nobody wants, rammed down our throats. It seems that no one in Washington is listening: We do not want our health care system turned up side down to benefit a small percentage of the legitimate US population. Yet Congress and the White House are pressing on anyway. How can this be?
Our Secretary of State, announcing an agreement to allow Russian scientists and Military officials inspection access to our nuclear defense sites, failed to get anything tangible in return.

Does she not remember that Russia has yet to do anything in the world political arena to benefit our interests? How can this be?
Glenn Beck (Fox TV) has been shouting a warning about the direction this country is headed for weeks. Has anyone been paying attention? How do we turn it around? Can we turn it around?
