What has America become?

This was sent to me via a email..It was originally printed in the Iosco County News Herald on June 9, 2010, published in the Opinion column.
At another web site that this letter was posted and a viewer posted a comment I had too add it to this article.. it hits the nail on the head..

"What has happened to the land of the free and home of the brave you ask? We've lost our moral compass - our true North - and thrown the Creator, Lord, Savior - God from our land. He led our forefathers here, helped them establish a republic unlike any before it - basing our structure and laws on gleanings from the Bible and the teachings of Christ. Our values, those things we were admired for by other nations, those we threw on the pile of political correctness, relativism and entitlement. We need desperately to humble ourselves before God, and ask for His healing of our land, following His instruction in 2 Chronicles 7:14."If ... My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land."

What has America become?
Editor,
Has America become the land of special interest and home of the double standard?

Lets see: if we lie to the Congress, it's a felony and if the Congress lies to us its just politics; if we dislike a black person, we're  racist and if a black person dislikes whites, its their 1st Amendment rights; 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 wrong to execute a mass murder; we don't burn books in America, we now rewrite them; we got rid of communist aand socialist threats by remaining 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 hand outs; 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 happened to the land of the free and the home of the brave?
