Things that are confusing

Ok, we have the president wiretapping citizens phone lines to "keep us safe from terrorists" but yet the borders remain wide open. I guess terrorists talking on the phone are more of a danger than them crossing the border. Confusing

We have Washington DC with the highest crime rate in the country and the tightest gun control but people claim gun control lowers crime. Confusing

We have illegal immigrants who cross the border to come into our country, yet they hold on to their old ways and try to make this land like their home. Why? If you liked the other country so much why not stay? Confusing

We supposedly live in the freeist country in the world yet we more laws than any other country and a higher percentage of people in prison than communist China. Confusing

It is a widely accepted fact that prohibition led to the vast power of the mafia, yet people today can't see the similarities between prohibition and the current drug war. Confusing

We have violent crime in the streets yet I'm always hearing how cops are setting up stings to bust 16 and 17 year olds buying smokes. Confusing

Entrapment is unconstitutional, well unless your busting DWI suspects. On the same matter, they're called DWI checkpoints yet they check your drivers license even if they don't suspect you've been drinking. Confusing

I guess this sums it up, the last words of the National anthem are "The land of the free and the home of the brave" yet we have all kinds of laws that are purely designed to keep us safe. It seems to me that Americans would rather live in the land of the coward and the home of the safe and secure. Confusing........and pathetic.
