Just when, exactly, did this country turn into a nuthouse?

24. Oh, well...depends on who you ask.

If you ask ME...I will say four dates totally ignored for their true significance.

There are a few more, but those are the four off the top of my head.

It FEELS sane sometimes in Our Nation, because we've had President Obama in office for going on 4 years and is partially responsible for ending much of the BFEE madness but not all of it. Hence why you feel the insanity and sanity in the nation. We just came off 4 years of unbelievable corruption, failure at the national level, bailouts and now a stock market heading higher on the DOW then at any time in our past. The Wealthy survived and now prosper better then ever, so us peons can only HOPE that means we will feel the tiny drops of money that fell through the cracks.

That's right, the sanity comes from the past 4 years, but the chaos is still very very much in charge of the day. We are just now feeling the true effect of the 8 years the BFEE controlled the nation and 'us the people'. We had no choice in the matter they cheated and started a war based on lies. THAT is going to be felt for decades...much to the chagrin of leftover neo and paleo-cons.
They will try their best (IE Lifes work) to distort the past 10 years as best they can. They don't want to be remembered for creating a police state.
