Upside Down Land
Came across this and wanted to share.
You know you live in an Upside-down Land if...

You know you live in an Upside-down Land if...
You can get arrested for expired tags on your car, but not for being in the country illegally.
You know you live in an Upside-down Land if...
Your government believes that the best way to eradicate trillions of dollars of debt is to spend trillions more of our money.
You know you live in an Upside-down Land if...
A seven year-old boy can be thrown out of school for calling his teacher "pretty" but hosting a sexual exploration or diversity class in grade school is perfectly acceptable.
You know you live in an Upside-down Land if...
The Supreme Court of the United States can rule that lower courts cannot display the 10 Commandments in their courtroom, while sitting in front of a display of the 10 Commandments.
You know you live in an Upside-down Land if...
Children are forcibly removed from parents who appropriately discipline them while children of "underprivileged" drug addicts are left to rot in filth-infested cesspools.
You know you live in an Upside-down Land if...
Working class Americans pay for their own health care (and the health care of everyone else) while unmarried women are free to have child after child on the "State's" dime while never being held responsible for their own choices.
You know you live in an Upside-down Land if...
Hard work and success are rewarded with higher taxes and government intrusion, while slothful, lazy behavior is rewarded with cell phones, EBT cards, WIC checks, Medicaid and subsidized housing.
You know you live in an Upside-down Land if...
The government's plan for getting people back to work is to provide 99 weeks of unemployment checks to not work.
You know you live in an Upside-down Land if...
Being self-sufficient is considered a threat to the government.

Parents believe the State is responsible for providing for their children.
You know you live in an Upside-down Land if...
You can write a post like this just by reading the news headlines in the media.
You know you live in an Upside-down Land if...
You pay your mortgage faithfully, while your neighbor defaults on his mortgage, buys iphones, big screen TVs and new cars, and the government forgives his debt and reduces his mortgage with your tax dollars.
You know you live in an Upside-down Land if...
Your government can add anything it wants to your kid's water (fluoride, chlorine, etc.), but you are not supposed to give them whole milk.
You know you live in an Upside-down Land if...
Being stripped of the ability to defend yourself makes you "safe".
You know you live in an Upside-down Land if...
You have to have your parents’ signature to go on a school field trip, but not to get an abortion.
You know you live in an Upside-down Land if...
An 80 year old woman can be stripped searched by the TSA, but a Muslim woman in a burqa is only subject to having her neck and head searched.
Unfortunately, this list could go on and on. Our country has been turned upside-down.
What has happened to common sense?

That is just sad, and depressing. It will probably stay like that for a long time too.

It all started years ago when people started being "PC". It has led to our society being a bunch of wimps and pushovers, afraid to stand up for anything for fear of being labeled as racist, intolerant or "anti whatever". Kids that played games with no winner, people that FORGOT 9/11 and who committed that terrible act. My grandparents would be sick if they saw the state of affairs we are in.
