What Is Wrong With This Picture?

An optometrist in Germantown, Tennessee received a notice that flying an American flag outside her office is a violation of the complex’s bylaws.

Last May, in California, students were forced to remove American flag T-shirts on Cinco de Mayo because school administrators said any display of the flag was incendiary and disrespectful on the holiday of a foreign country. On American soil?

Recently Vice President Joe Biden said conservative Americans were acting like terrorists. Apparently the Department of Homeland Security agrees because they have told citizens to report odd behavior of Americans.

Last month Americans witnessed the TSA detain and strip a 95 year-old leukemia patient of her adult diaper.

To crack down on "bad parenting" and the evil food industry, the Obama administration has given the Federal Trade Commission, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Food and Drug Administration and the U.S. Department of Agriculture the task of imposing new restrictions on restaurants and food manufacturers. The Administration claims that the war on food is to combat childhood obesity. Many of the foods targeted are those considered healthy foods - oatmeal, nuts, yogurt, wheat bread and milk to name a few.

Where is all this headed?  Here is a simple explanation.

In an old movie, a rescue team is dispatched to save some people lost in an avalanche. The rescue is so risky, that on the flight to get to the scene, one of the characters is sitting in all his gear when he starts to twist and contort his body. When asked, "what are you doing?" He replied, "I’m trying to kiss my ass goodbye."

Again, Pogo is right. "We have seen the enemy and they is us."
