19 Signs That You Live In A Country That Has Gone Completely Insane

Um...yep. For any international Gulchers: are you seeing the same signs? The loonies are running wild here in the USA. I wish I could say something, but I'm not an international banker nor am I a lobbyist, therefore, I am nobody to a congressman/senator.
+1 for you
All moral standards eventually rely on amoral standards/natural laws which man had nothing to do with.
Notice I did not incorporate God into any of the above. If you reject most of the above because we are just a bunch of chemicals which happen to bounce around in an organized fashion resulting in survival of the fittest, you still cannot refute non-anthropic natural law which provide standards upon which man develops standards for survival and cultural function.
Be careful saying ALL.
I'm hoping to 'turn' my step-grandson from the path he's being led down by his parents, peers and schools. It may be working. When he makes a statement that describes a 'problem,' I ask him, "Well, why do you think THAT happens?" and we drill down towards the REAL root cause of the issue. He is willing to drill down more layers than anyone I've ever met.
There might be hope for his generation... :)

And when an official repeatedly and systematically violates people's rights, that's what it means to be at war with the public (this is John Locke's definition).
#2 shares that same problem only more so. Expecting a congresscritter to care about justice is like expecting a wolf to turn vegetarian.
I don't see any problem with #3 or #4.
#5 is the well known (to economists) fact of rational ignorance. David Friedman discusses it in "The Machinery of Freedom". http://daviddfriedman.com/The_Machinery_...
#6 is prejudice against the LGBT community.
#7 really is silly, but I doubt it's true. (And if the people involved are adults it's prejudice, too.)
I have no problem with #8, it's common sense.
#9 - Same answer as #2.
#10 - So what? Reality today IS depressing.
#11 - These are statist lies: (a) terrorism and sexual predators are common, (b) drug dealers (as opposed to drug laws themselves) harm the public, and (c) either or both of these so-called problems, or immigration, are emergencies justifying the loss of more of our rights.
(Gangs and welfare parasites ARE real hazards to you and me, but most of them are born right here in the US thanks to subsidies like AFDC/TANF that pay them to breed. Get welfare out of government hands and the problem will go away.)
The enemies list, on the other hand, is a real problem. It should be the #1 crime that Obama needs to answer for in court after leaving office.
#12 is a call for unacceptable censorship. (An arrest for "encouraging terrorism" would also be unacceptable censorship, but I haven't heard of it happening since Obama took office.)
#13 I agree with.
#14 is a lefty lie.
#15 I agree with.
#16 - Frankly, I'd rather see federal "workers" watching porn than doing what most of them consider to be their jobs.
#17 is prejudice. Payday lenders are necessary, not least because of unfair discrimination by banks, which regulators won't do anything about because banks have lobbyists with bags of money.
#18 is prejudice two ways. It's not wrong to illegally immigrate, and it is wrong for government people to promote the Christian idea of sexual morality on the job.
#19 - Same answer as #5.
For the 1st one, ok, perhaps 18 trillion dollars is a lie: technically, it's about 90 trillion dollars in debt when you include, social insecurity, medicare & medicade. Do you believe this debt can ever be repaid? If so, now that's insanity.
