We live in an "upside-down world" . . .

I saw this posted on SHTFPlan.com and thought it was worth repeating.  The poster who posted it there got it in an email.

We live in an "upside-down world."

You know you live in an Upside-Down World if . . .
* A Muslim officer crying "Allahu Akbar" while shooting up an Army base is considered to have committed "Workplace Violence," while an American boasting a Tea Party bumper sticker is classified by the Secretary of Homeland Security as a "Domestic Terrorist."

You know you live in an Upside-Down World if . . .
* You can be arrested for expired tags on your car, but not for being in the country illegally.

You know you live in an Upside-Down World if . . .
* Your government believes that the best way to eradicate trillions of dollars of debt is to spend trillions more dollars of our money.

You know you live in an Upside-Down World if . . .
* A seven-year-old boy can be thrown out of school for calling his teacher "pretty," but hosting a "sexual exploration" or "diversity" class in grade school is perfectly acceptable.

You know you live in an Upside-Down World if . . .
* The Supreme Court of the United States can rule that lower courts cannot display the Ten Commandments in their courtrooms, while sitting in front of a display of the Ten Commandments.

You know you live in an Upside-Down World if . . .
* Children are forcibly removed from parents who appropriately discipline them, while children of "underpriviledged" drug addicts are left to rot in filth-infested cesspools.

You know you live in an Upside-Down World if . . .
* Working class Americans pay for their own health care (and the health care of everyone else), while unmarried women are free to have child after child on the "State's" dime while never being held responsible for their own choices.

You know you live in an Upside-Down World if . . .
* Hard work and success are rewarded with higher taxes and government intrusion, wghile slothful and lazy behavior is rewarded with EBT cards, WIC checks, Medicaid, and subsidized housing.

You know you live in an Upside-Down World if . . .
* The government's plan for getting people back to work is to provide 99 weeks of unemployment checks to not work.

You know you live in an Upside-Down World if . . .
* Being self-sufficient is considered a threat to the government.

You know you live in an Upside-Down World if . . .
* Politicians think that stripping away the Amendments to the U. S. Constitution is really protecting the rights of the people.

You know you live in an Upside-Down World if . . .
* The rights of the government come before the rights of the individual.

You know you live in an Upside-Down World if . . .
* Parents believe that the State is responsible for providing for their children.

You know you live in an Upside-Down World if . . .
* You can write a post just like this by reading the news headlines in the media.

You know you live in an Upside-Down World if . . .
* You pay your mortgage faithfully, while your neighbor defaults on his mortgage, buys iPhones, big screen TVs and new cars, and the government forgives his debt and reduces his mortgage with your tax dollars.

You know you live in an Upside-Down World if . . .
* Your government can add anything it wants to your kid's water (fluoride, chlorine, etc.), but you are not supposed to give them whole milk.

You know you live in an Upside-Down World if . . .
* Being stripped of your ability to defend yourself makes you "safe."

You know you live in an Upside-Down World if . . .
* You have to get your parents' signature to go on a school field trip, but not to get an abortion.

You know you live in an Upside-Down World if . . .
* An 80-year-old woman can be strip-searched by the TSA, but a Muslim woman in a burka is only subject to having her head and neck searched.

Unfortunately, this list can go on and on.  Our world has been turned upside-down.

A change is needed to at least one of those.

Agree Thundely,, but you just Ain't seen nothing yet.   Just wait until all this becomes PESONAL.

So far all this happens to OTHERS, Wait until this world comes a knocking at your door.  How to handle this ???

So far none of us on this forum have had a child kidnapped and murdered, had a home invasion or been arrested for a crime that was mistaken identity.    No one I see has reported a child out of controll or one they are afraid of.

To us this is upside down for others but when the Police come to the door of the innocent, lives change.

Really life kicks in, the things we ignore or do not want to believe.  We can sit back and shake our heads over the outsiders crimes but when it hits close to home, we who yelled " Hang the Ba*tards "now cry for Mercury for our own.

Wasn't arrested but was questioned pertaining to a double homicide that occurred a couple days prior. fortunately for me I had paperwork establishing I was in Frankfort Germany on the night of the Murders, ETS orders and Ticket stubs for flights from Frankfort to Philly PA to Denver CO to Minneapolis MN to Fargo , ND.

Twas rather scary in that a composite drawing of one of the suspects posted in a local paper looked a lot like me.
It is said that branches draw their life from the vine. Each is separate yet all are one as they share one life giving stem . The Bible tells us we are called to a similar union in life, our lives with the life of God. We are incorporated into him; made sharers in his life. Apart from this union we can do nothing.
