North Korea has nukes and missles.

Iran’s working on some.

Mexico’s making a “project” outs the U.S. (by exporting its poor, illiterate masses al norte).

College grads can’t read their way outa newspaper editorials.

While the economy’s better than the Democraps say it is, it’s not as good as the Republican’ts say it is, either.

The tax structures in this company are killing production… and poisoning YOUR children’s and grandchildren’s future.

The Ponzi scheme known as Social Security is a scam that encourages the old to steal from their children and their children’s children…

Mass Media Podpeople, Academia Nut Fruitcakes and all other manner of Loony Left Moonbats are doing everything in their power to flush the American Experiment down the toilet of history… and fake “conservatives” are aiding and abetting in this criminal behavior.

Public education? If it weren’t such a serious issue, I’d laugh. Our prisons for kids are turning out product that’s dumber than a bag of hammers. Thank heavens for the far right end of the bell curve and the few in the middle who have had at least a smattering of real education. They’re the only thing keeping the U.S. from sinking under a mass of stupidity. (Re-read “Harrison Bergeron”, folks. No, really. Re-read it. It’s the future of America… if we’re lucky. *sigh*)

Oh, there are some voices in the blogosphere (and a very, very few in mass media and academia and the corporate world) who are playing lil Dutch boy with fingers in the dike.

But is it enough?

Despair is a deadly sin. Keep fighting the fight, folks. Do what you can to turn one dumbass at a time away from destroying YOUR children’s and your grandchildren’s future.

It’s closer thanh you may think.

“Is That All There Is? as sung by Peggy Lee (well, portions of it… )

SPOKEN:
I remember when I was a very little girl, our house caught on fire.
I’ll never forget the look on my father’s face as he gathered me up
in his arms and raced through the burning building out to the pavement.
I stood there shivering in my pajamas and watched the whole world go up in flames.
And when it was all over I said to myself, “Is that all there is to a fire?”

SUNG:
Is that all there is, is that all there is
If that’s all there is my friends, then let’s keep dancing
Let’s break out the booze and have a ball
If that’s all there is

…

SPOKEN:
I know what you must be saying to yourselves.
If that’s the way she feels about it why doesn’t she just end it all?
Oh, no. Not me. I’m in no hurry for that final disappointment.
For I know just as well as I’m standing here talking to you,
when that final moment comes and I’m breathing my lst breath, I’ll be saying to myself,

SUNG:
Is that all there is, is that all there is
If that’s all there is my friends, then let’s keep dancing
Let’s break out the booze and have a ball
If that’s all there is
