WUI (Writing under the influence)
Somebody once said we are all Americans, sometimes born in the wrong places.On a warm autumn day in 1986, while enjoying beer with my college buddies,
I decided to join my new homeland.
I've come to appreciate the ideals that helped create this great country.
Liberalism, political-correctness, multiculturalism and moral equivalence
are destroying it.

Thinking ouside the box
A very famous -- at least in this corner of the woods-- professor says that we should think "outside the box" and just impose even higher taxes on the most productive of us and spread the wealth around among various leaches and parasites, but more importantly, among the ruling class whose insane ideas, like libraries, swimming pools, and light-rail suck our resources dry.
Instead of looking for
For all his immense wisdom (mostly university education) the professor doesn't want to acknowledge that his ideas lead to ruin. This piece in WSJ warns us that if we listen to professors, we will end up like Greece or California:

Partly due to generous union wages and benefits, inflexible work rules and lobbying for more spending, many state programs and institutions spend too much and achieve too little. For example, annual spending on each California prison inmate is equal to an entire middle-income family's after-tax income. Many of California's K-12 public schools rank poorly on standardized tests. The unfunded pension and retiree health-care liabilities of workers in the state-run Calpers system, which includes teachers and university personnel, totals around $250 billion.
Culture wars
Some progressives ask me how the gay marriage would ruin mine. I tell them it is not about me but about the future generations. Of course, my marriage will not be affected by any misguided policy our wise leaders come up with. But, over time, watering down what has been, for centuries, the fundamental building block of any successful society will chip it apart. Needless to say, they refuse to listen.
But when it comes to abortion, progressives, all of a sudden, change their minds. Apparently, even women who, without a very expensive medical intervention, can't possibly become pregnant, fight to the death to preserve the obscene right to abort their children until the last moment before they can take their first breath.
And why? To preserve that sacred "right" for their daughters (if then didn't abort hem.)
Here is the face of that "struggle:"
