The Supreme Court of the United States can rule that lower courts
cannot display the 10 Commandments in their courtroom, while sitting in
front of a display of the 10 Commandments.

You know you live in an Upside-down Land if...
Children are forcibly removed from parents who appropriately discipline
them while children of "underprivileged" drug addicts are left to rot

screen TV while your neighbor defaults on his mortgage (while buying
iphones, TV's 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 Land if...
Your government can add anything they want to your kid's water

woman in a burqa is only subject to having her neck and head searched.

You know you live in an Upside-down Land if...
Using the "N" word is considered "hate speech" but writing and singing
songs about raping women and killing cops is considered "art".

Unfortunately, this list could go on and on.
Our world has been turned upside-down.
We are in distress. Where do we go from here?

"COWARDICE asks the question - is it Safe?"
"EXPEDIENCY asks the question - is it Politically Correct?"
"VANITY asks the question - is it Popular?"
"But the CONSCIENCE asks the question - is it Right?"

"And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither,
Safe, nor Politically Correct, nor Popular, but one must take it,
because its RIGHT!!"
