Comments
In my opinion, sooner or later this issue will again rear its head, when it does our legislators might have to pause to regret having buried their heads in the sand for so long. I am witnessing a certain backwardness in our legislative endavours that portends a failure to recognize the world as it is and a tendency to wrap ones self into the mantle of political correctness. This is as as dangerous as it is delusional. I will continue to watch this tendency of delusion and denial amongst our legislators. May i remind those with the perception and vision that America is rapidly descending into a morass of socialism and collectivism that portends a reset to our founding values. A simple reference to the historical precidents established by the past experiments and failures of socialism should be of a sufficient warning of the impending fall.
I could not agree with Mr. Maggard more. As I watch our American way of life deteriorate, I am amazed at our ignorance and laziness.
