John Hawkins, writing at Townhall.com, has a fantastic post up about the “Five Ways that Insanity Has Become the New Normal in America.”
He introduces his piece with this:
Since Barack Obama has been elected, gun sales and copies of Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged have flown off the shelves. Meanwhile, there’s a Russian academic all over the news predicting that America will soon collapse, “tea parties” springing up all over the country, and the stock market has been doing a great impression of Michael Richards’ career since he left Seinfeld.
Is that because people have gone crazy? No, it’s the reaction of sane people to the crazy
Those 5 things Insanities that are the new normal:
- The Global Warming Fraud
- The Lawsuit Lottery
- Demonizing Success and Rewarding Failure
- Spending Money Like We’re Never Going To Have To Pay It Back
- Our Topsy-Turvy Approach To Illegal Immigration
Make sure you go read the entire piece and John’s explanation for each one.
I just read this article, I’d be curious to see your reaction to it.
[Editor --- Thanks for the link, Jen. I'd read that article from the Commander of the American Legion this morning. I'm going to write a separate post about it later this evening. But the short of it, I agree with the Commander, and am furious at Obama's utter disregard and disrespect for our nations' wounded veterans.
If he persists in pushing this through, it will become political kryptonite for any Congressman or Senator dares to support and vote for it. But by not backing down from it already by Obama, he has sealed his own 1-term fate.]
I was starting to wonder if this was going to go unnoticed. I’ve been squaking about it for a couple of days now, hoping that this would grow some legs. Looking forward to you post on the matter.
