Ominous News on Our Doorstep, on Our Horizon

There was a time in America in the not very distant past when things were very different.

Just a few decades ago, we were respected in the international community, rarely loved, sometimes hated, but usually respected. There was a time when America had a secure border which defined us as a nation, when we felt free to voice our opinions without being condemned as bigots, when government functioned in the interests of the governed, a time when we were a free and sovereign nation not subject to the vagaries and enmities of the 191 other countries in the United Nations.

That time and those times are long past and not solely because of a single political party or one politician, although our current president has far outdone the others, busily undermining not only our economy but everything the United States of America has stood for, starting with our status as a country worthy of respect.

An El Paso witness reported that Mexican police fired at American hunters on the U.S. side of the Rio Grande and other Mexicans followed that attack “with automatic weapons into the U.S. side . . . stole hunters’ chairs and drove back into Mexico.”

Our authorities are investigating the incident but aside from the theft of a few chairs, will they investigate the temerity of Mexicans invading our nation? Not likely, since we have already granted carte blanche to them and everyone else to violate our borders, thumb their noses at the United States–and steal our chairs.

Almost worse, some Americans are now so terrified of political incorrectness that they have sacrificed lives on the PC altar.

Former-Democrat, now Independent, always-liberal Connecticut’s Senator Joe Lieberman has offered the very valid opinion that had it not been for fear of being labeled prejudiced Muslim Major Nidal Hasan wouldn’t have been able to kill and maim innocent people at Fort Hood in 2009. . .
