Nothing is sacred in this country anymore. Talk about transforming America! Our founding fathers would not recognize today’s America. They are turning over in their graves.

I am an optimist for the most part, but the way things have been going in recent months, I’m not sure we can turn this country around in 2016.

There appears to be an endless parade of liberal agendas turning this country on its head.

Let’s start with an out-of-control Supreme Court. A majority of the justices, including its chief justice, are now judicial activists. The majority is thumbing its nose at our Constitution. In the case of Obamacare federal government subsidies, the court by a 6 to 3 decision decided to become a legislative body rather than a judicial one.

Chief Justice Roberts, an appointee of George W. Bush, is making up stuff out of thin air as the court deliberates. Twice he has bailed out Obama’s Obamacare by inventing excuses to make it constitutional. When the Affordable Care Act was legislated Democrats screamed and hollered that it wasn’t a tax, but Roberts justified its constitutionality by saying it was a tax. Roberts is a deranged justice. This week he bailed out OC again by saying that even the law in seven different places requires subsidies by states only, out of thin air he said “state” means “federal.” Words no longer have meanings. What an incredible stretch by a justice!

Facts no longer matter. Our traditions no longer matter and everybody needs to keep in mind that this country became great because of its traditions – which now, under liberal agendas, are being dismantled one by one, piece by piece.

According to a majority of liberal justices, marriage no longer is between a man and a woman only. Is it all about love? Maybe for some, but the driving force of LGBT is about control, power, and “we will show you.” The 1% of our population will be ramming one thing after another down our throats and religious freedom will be the big loser.

Bottom line is that SCOTUS (the Supreme Court) had no business taking up this issue in the first place. It is not a constitutional issue, even though liberals claim it falls under the 14th Amendment.

If it’s all about giving “dignity” to same-sex partners, it is only logical that polygamists be given the same “dignity” by the “feel good” court. Right?

If a reader has any doubts about which way media leans, please note that most are celebrating the two court decisions, including local media.

We are no longer at a crossroads. We have crossed the line. In today’s America, cops are the bad guys. Cops are racist and so are most white Americans. Out of control black-on-black crime is due to white supremacy and it is “whitey” keeping minorities poor. The powers to be refuse to look at the number of kids born into a single-parent home. Facts don’t matter.

There is no end to what liberalism will do to get votes. Instead of looking at the economic status of this country under the present Obama administration, it’s all about distractions such as conservatives war on women (which is a lie), a racist country (which is a lie), homophobes (another lie), etc. And, no it’s not Republicans or capitalism causing inequality. It is liberal Obama agendas that are causing the poor to get poorer.

There’s something wrong with the picture I am seeing of late. What has the GOP done of late to stop Obama’s destruction of this country? Very little, if anything! Our Republican leadership in the Senate and House are being bought and paid for by big money, particularly lobbyists and donors. Money talks. Just follow the money and it’s clear Congress is not legislating in the best interests of people. A good case could be made we are no longer a democratic republic in as much as our legislators appear to be self-serving. The American people are up against career politicians in both parties.

God help this country if we don’t elect a new president and congress in 2016 that governs and legislates according to the will of the people. Thank God there are some Republicans that haven’t sold out.

And, I thank the Good Lord making it possible for me, at my age, to spend every day of the week with the best kids in the world as I volunteer my time teaching tennis. I pray these kids grow up in a better world economically and culturally than we have now.
