Of Thee I Zing - Laura Ingraham

While Laura Ingraham was walking through a Northern Virginia shopping mall one Saturday afternoon, it all became clear to her.  Everywhere she turned, she saw signs of the impending disaster; zombie teens texting each other across a cafe table; a man having his eyebrows threaded at a kiosk; a fiftyish woman shoe-horned into a tube top and skinny jeans; and a storefront ad featuring a Victoria's Secret model spilling out of her push up bra and into the faces of young passersby.  Ingrahm wondered to herself, "Is this it?  Is this what our forefathers fought for?  What my parents struggled for?  I wonder if Victoria's Secret is still having that two-for-one sale?"

A menacing force surrounds us.  We see it, we feel it, we know it.   The country we love is in grave peril.  While politicians and "experts" prattle on about the debt crisis at home, and terrorism abroad, and a more insidious home-grown threat is emerging.  It endangers our future and undermines our present.  The uncomfortable truth is, we have become our own worst enemy.  The culture we have created is now turning on us.  We're on the verge of drowning in our ignorance, arrogance, gluttony . . . can you believe there are only three shots of vanilla in a Carmel Macchiato?!?
