DOUBLE STANDARDS?
The following letter to the editor, written in 2010, contains a series of comparisons
and contrasts to cause one to think about the double-standards and conditions under
which we now live here in America.
Has America become the land of the double standard?
Let’s see: if we lie to the Congress, it's a felony and if the Congress lies to
us it’s just politics; if we dislike a black person, we're racist and if a black
person dislikes whites, it’s their 1st Amendment right; the government spends
millions to rehabilitate criminals and they do almost nothing for the victims;
in public schools you can teach that homosexuality is OK, but you better not
use the word God in the process; you can kill an unborn child, but it is wrong
to execute a mass murderer; we don't burn books in America, we now rewrite
them; we got rid of communist and socialist threats by renaming them
progressive; we are unable to close our border with Mexico, but have no problem
protecting the 38th parallel in Korea; if you protest against President Obama's
policies you're a terrorist, but if you burned an American flag or George Bush
in effigy it was your 1st Amendment right.
You can have pornography on TV or the internet, but you better not put a
nativity scene in a public park during Christmas; we have eliminated all
criminals in America, they are now called sick people; we can use a human fetus
for medical research, but it is wrong to use an animal.
We take money from those who work hard for it and give it to those who don't
want to work; we all support the Constitution, but only when it supports our
political ideology; we still have freedom of speech, but only if we are being
politically correct; parenting has been replaced with Ritalin and video games;
the land of opportunity is now the land of handouts; the similarity between
Hurricane Katrina and the gulf oil spill is that neither president did anything to help.
And how do we handle a major crisis today? The government appoints a committee
to determine who's at fault, then threatens them, passes a law, raises our
taxes; tells us the problem is solved so they can get back to their reelection campaign.
What has happened to the land of the free and home of the brave?
