Considerin­g Limbaugh's arrogant, childish Chinese language stunt, and then Beck's putting Frances Piven in real physical danger, it's about 99% certain that arrogance, hatred and moral failure continues to live large in the minds of the deep-dish 'right'.

Climate Change Correlates With Fall Of Rome, Tree Ring Study Suggests

This nation no longer follows the wisdom that results from intellect and scientific reality, but rather we pay heed to ill-purpos­ed and ill-educat­ed preachers, and manipulati­ve bloviators and charlatans diluting the intelligen­ce of our entire culture.

...or spend like the USA did in the forties - googals of bucks for war, building humongous debt. But it was for our survival, and we made it work and paid it off later. If some people think we should wad up into a little ball and hide from destiny, well, good luck with that. America has to bank on its resolve and courage; not fear mongers. Borrow, build, pay back - it's how families do it; it's how the USA has to do it.
