You are a result of being spoiled, by the protection you receive from this country. And yet, it is you liberals that insist that murderers and rapists have rights. That pedophiles should be treated as being "ill" and homosexuals as normal. What do you expect from our youth when you confuse them with contradictions. You do not believe in the death penalty for the evil but you do for innocent babies, not yet born. You make millions of laws, but don't believe they should be enforced. You don't believe in guns, but you also want to be protected and coddled. No, what is hurting our country is the liberal disease, eating away at it's conservative foundation.

You liberals do not believe in bullies until YOU are the bully. Your only fear is that those that do not agree with you, still have the means to protect that right. Your agenda is to do away with firearms, then you can do away with Free Speech. But, you will deny it. You can deny all you wish but anyone with open eyes can see it. The emperor's transparent new wardrobe.

We are dropping in our education, because we do not demand more from our children. Teachers have no rights, and can't even defend themselves from assaults perpetrated by "children." Teachers are required to pass a student to the next grade without an education. They did away with reform schools. No more discipline results in ignorant children. That is the reason why these kids have to go to college to get a high school education. It is amazing how many college students can't read or do basic math.

No, our country is not failing due to minorities. It's failing due to treating everyone that is "different" with kid gloves, coddling them, treating them special. Treat everyone equally and demand their best. No more excuses. Black is not stupid and "Asian" is not brilliant. One is allowed to be lazy and one is required to achieve. We have more blacks in jail than any other ethnicity because they commit crimes and are repeat offenders. They are not singled out over whites. Whites go to jail also, the ones that are repeat offenders. Many blacks believe that everyone is against them, when in reality it is all in their mind. They are defeating themselves. That is obvious to you when you see those that have achieved in life, such as Dr.Carson, Gen.Powell and even Obama. Although, Obama is a result of affirmative action. But, he still achieved....even if he is a total disaster. Some folks use excuses for their failure, such as blaming someone else (Bush). But, I know many that could have used excuses that refused to. I know a guy that grew up in Harlem, fatherless and obtained his masters degree, and has retired from two different organizations at the top of his career ladder in both occupations. I know another that grew up without his parents since he was 8 years old and NEVER arrested, and is now a retiree in The Villages.

And now I will pass the soap box off to another........
