Some parts of our world have gone mad. Stark, raving, mad. Stone cold nutso.
Firefighters in Illinois are told by their chief to remove American flag decals from their helmets because they might be viewed as racist.
Ferguson, Missouri, is held hostage by “demonstrators,” some of whom have looted and burned.
A city orders a 2nd Amendment flag taken down but allows a Muslim flag to be raised.
A 3rd grader who bites a piece of food into the shape of a pistol is suspended and sent home for three days.
The race (?) for governor of Oklahoma so far is a yawner. Democrat Joe Dorman is digging for traction, but the arrows he’s shooting aren’t hitting the target, much less the bullseye. Dorman and his supporters are throwing mostly wild punches in a mad dash to cut Fallin’s lead.
Panera Bread bans law-abiding citizens and their firearms, joining other retailers who have done the same. What…only bad guys with guns now allowed?
A 1st grade boy who kisses a female classmate on the cheek is suspended for sexual harassment.
Why does a 2-hour examination and treatment at a hospital ER cost $1,200?
How can our president declare to the world that we have no strategy for dealing with an international situation? If George Bush had said that, the media would have pummeled him without mercy and painted him as wearing a dunce cap.

Nebraska’s Lieutenant Governor Lavon Heidemann announced his resignation, both from office and as running mate to a GOP gubernatorial candidate, after a judge granted a restraining order against him to his sister after he attacked her.
When 11-year-old Grace Karaffa was told she couldn’t use ChapStick at her Virginia elementary school, the girl — who’d been prohibited from using it for years to treat her dry, bleeding lips — decided she’d had enough. The fifth-grader at Stuarts Draft Elementary School created a petition and presented her case before the Augusta County school board last week, arguing that a ban on the most commonly used remedy to treat chapped lips was “inappropriate,” her father said.
A Republican governor and Republican Legislature spends tax dollars like there’s no tomorrow…forgetting it was just yesterday that promises to cut taxes and cut spending is, in part, what propelled them into office. Nutso.
Top shelf Mikey. I’m right there with ya!
These are the results of a culture which teaches / promotes / practices (1) “I’m OK, you’re OK” (2) don’t expect me to “toe the line” because it might “warp my personality”, (3) consequences don’t necessarily follow, (etc.) …
Pretty much sounds like a society which no longer teaches and practices “…do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God…
” Democracy… while it lasts is more bloody than either aristocracy or monarchy. Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There is never a democracy that did not commit suicide.”
John Adams
