This story hits me personally, you see I am one of approx. 3.5 million homeless Americans. A homeless person is thought of less than a dog literally and crimes against the homeless are not really thought of as crime. Many feel that the homeless aren't worth anything otherwise they wouldn't be homeless. Homeless are assaulted, robbed and murdered at will and police don't get excited when they learn the call they are going to is a homeless person. Its pitiful that one can be murdered for $1. or for sport in America!................

I knew of a disabled man (a patient) in the '90s who was killed by some teens in broad daylightbecause he didn't have any $ on him, so they took his cheeseburger and fries and shot him dead right infront of the adult living center where he stayed (otherwise he too would have been homeless).
Life has lost value to many Americans and they think nothing of depriving others of their own rights to life.

yes it is more corrupt. but the cops have been visiting hookers for a long time, that is not new.
it is however a great weapon to use on obama, which is why it is coming up right about now.
same old game, like congress was morally outraged by monica and clinton? like they are not all adulterers every man and woman on the floor?
Thank you for this blunt article of truth! I posted it yesterday in a couple other forums and gee guess how many names I was called and even some I have never seen before and the chaos it unleashed. Sad that so many refuse to see the collapse going on all around them. IF we don't clean our own house how can we cruise around the globe telling and forcing others to clean theirs?
Agreed. How can we admonish other countries for corruption, when our own society is shot thru and thru with it? Including our own Diebolt-rigged elections.
What is happening to America? Is it going to get better or worse anytime soon?
"The following are 25 signs that America is a seething cesspool of filth and corruption….
#1 The men and women of the Secret Service are supposed to be the best of the best. Instead, they have become a national embarrassment. 11 members of the U.S. Secret Service are under investigation for consorting with prostitutesin Colombia. Reportedly, several of the Secret Service agents that hired prostitutes were married.
#2 Our financial institutions are filled with cheats and liars. 2011 and 2012 have been absolutely horrible years for natural disasters in the United States. At a time when homeowners need their insurance companies more than ever, many insurance companies are systematically trying to weasel out of payouts and are trying to shift as much liability over to homeowners as possible. The following is from a recent Reuters article….
You must not be a student of history to any degree at all. There has always been such corruption and gredd i humans and likely to have been tolerated or more controlled by the corrupt and greedy i the past.Just because you didn't see it in the news does mwena it wasn't there and revealed later.
I haven't read the entire list and don't disagree with acknowledging a spread of corruption and loss of morality but I think the real problem is that were just more readily aware of the condition rather than it being a growing trend. There's been some disgusting things going on in the U.S. for a long time, it's just the press doesn't always report what some don't want to hear. With an easier access to news, those things become hard to hide.
I was amused by item #4... "reverent mockumentary “Angry Boys” is under fire for combining child actors and phallic humor,"
As a child, my family lived in Lisbon where I suppose those issue of morality were less distinct. A few years after returning to the U.S. I discovered some beer mugs on a top shelf of the kitchen pantry. These mugs were never used. One fine day I climbed up on the kitchen counter and took a look at those mugs. They were shaped something like a barrel and were a dark brown with wooden handle. Imbedded on the bottom was a view of a set of testicles and a penis rising about half way up the center of the cup. I could suppose that why some beverages are called swill.
So, in some cases, those moral values we choose to embrace may have been lacking more often than we might have been aware. Having served in WWII, I suppose my dad and his peers could be described as Angry Boys.
That the OP's article didn't even mention the gun/grenade/drug running and money laundering by multiple federal agencies tasked with "law enforcement" under "Operation Fast & Furious" is astounding.
How much more evidence of systemic corruption is needed that that?
There isn't enough ink! 25 is just the (really) short list.
