America…Without Moral Compass
AMERICA…the land of double standards
America is destructing from within………the enemy needs only bide their time while American politicians either purposefully or unwittingly destroy the social, religious, legal, and economic fabric of the United States.
Our troops are being killed fighting terrorists to keep them from our borders, our border agents are being imprisoned for defending our national borders, while the lawmakers of America seem content in ignoring issues that involve courage and political unity.
A case in point is the absolute debacle involved by a US Attorney prosecuting and eventually the imprisoning of two United States Border Control Agents for doing their job along the Texas border. Two border agents who took an oath to preserve and protect the Constitution of the United States against all enemies have been convicted as criminals because they were executing their assigned mission.
To make matters worse, eighty percent or more of America views the convictions of these border agents as a miscarriage of justice and support Presidential or Congressional pardon…President Bush does nothing.
Congressman Duncan Hunter, CA and others introduced a Bill, HR 563, in the U. S. House of Representatives nearly three months ago to grant Agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean a Congressional pardon.
This is where the disgusting nature of politicians show their ugly heads……after three months there are currently only 94 US Representatives that have signed to support this Bill…90 Republicans and 4 Democrats…even an issue as serious as impacting the lives of two American Border Agents and their families, wrongly convicted, cannot escape the partisan nature of the United States political system…is there any wonder the majority of Americans hold these political bottom feeders in such low regard?
What can possibly be in the conscience of the other 341 US Representatives that cause them to ignore the opportunity to support this Bill, see justice done, and these two men pardoned and released from prison? As is often the case, government policy reflects a “use and abuse” approach. God help us.
America is no longer the “land of the free”, it has become the land of a group of blow-hard, gutless, ego-centric, selfish, cowardly, political traitors without moral rudder. These people are hell-bent on destroying the fabric that made America the greatest nation in history…Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean are examples of what’s to come as America continues to snooze.
