Pat Buchanan has grave concerns for the future of our country.

In an interview on CNN, he fervidly stated that the America in which a "ten-year-old boy is arrested for simply trying to take a cup of water" to Terry Schiavo is not the America in which he grew up.

That's quite a coincidence, Pat. The America in which a ten-year-old boy (under the guidance of his father, a convicted rapist and registered sex offender who was out of his state illegally, who has continuing problems with the law and has been associated with violent right-to-life groups) is for no reason other than the quest for political power, manipulated into being arrested and handcuffed in order to incite and inflame the meddlesome, rabid, radical, right-wing, fundamentalist christian Nutzi zealots who wish to turn this country into a theocracy and to force everyone to follow the tenets of their preferred brand of superstition is not the America in which I grew up, either.

I, too, have grave concerns for the future of our country.
