A Nation In Chaos

I've lived a long time.  I'll be 63 years old in September.  I've seen the United States of America reel from the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., and Robert F. Kennedy.  I've seen President Nixon resign from office in disgrace.  I've seen Democrats, Republicans, right-wingers, left-wingers attack each other mercilessly.  I've lived through several recessions.  I've seen economic upheaval that threatened the very fabric of our nation.  I've seen this nation at war several times and the aftermath of war.  In summary, I have seen this nation get knocked down and then get back up.  The terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001 which served to only bring this nation together as one.  America always comes together in a time of great need.  At least, that's the way it has always been in the past.

Border Crisis - USA in Peril

I think Texas governor Rick Perry said it best, in regard to the ongoing illegal alien surge on our southern border.  "He's either inept or has an ulterior motive," Governor Perry was quoted as saying.  I'm not sure what Obama's ulterior motive might be.  If it is to force the hand of the GOP to pass immigration reform aka amnesty, it has been a dismal failure.  If it is to "transform America," it is a mixed bag of success.  I'm not sure even the Idiot in Chief expected this mass surge of illegal "children" to our southern border.  Many of the criminal gangs are passing as "children" of 16 and over.  We will all pay for this eventually.
