I'm Ashamed Too by Dr. T

So Rush Limbaugh said "for the 1st time I'm ashamed of my country" and folks have their undies in a knot. I seem to remember Michele Obama waxing poetic on this topic some years ago. If you listen to Rush's full explanation he is very clear about what he means. Rush, like me, is a "baby boomer."  We grew up in a SANE America. We know how things are supposed to work and we recognize the fraud, deception and propaganda that are being perpetrated on the people. Rush could have been a little clearer by saying that he is ashamed of how the country is being governed. It's the elite ruling class that has ruined America. The basis of our liberty...that we the people run the country and that the politicans work for us seems to be completely lost on at least 51% of the citizens. Until the population gets smarter we will continue to decline. Corruption, special interest lobbying and reckless spending have all but collapsed the country. The knuckleheads in Washington did this and future generations will pay dearly for their misdeeds. We all should be ashamed that the greatest nation on the planet has 50 million people on food stamps, record unemployment and strangling regulations that keep us from tapping into our wealth of natural resources. We allowed this to happen - we voted for people who are only interested in themselves. We have nominees for Secretary of Defense and CIA director whose belief systems run counter to the mindset necessary to protect us in a post 9/11 world and the fact that these men are even being considered is "shameful". North Korea has nukes, Iran is almost there, we are supplying the Muslim Brotherhood with F16s, Al-Jazeera is setting up broadcast studios in American cities and our press is miffed because they couldn't get a picture of the President and Tiger Woods.

I'm ashamed...are you?
