What kind of country is this that redefines 9-11 (the World Trade Center attack in New York City) as a manmade event, yet labels returning soldiers as possible extremists?

What kind of country is this when a potential Miss USA is "blown away" by a gay pageant judge?

It is a country that is out of control, with a president who is out of control. It is already hard enough to believe the "state" of America as it is now. After four or eight years of Obama it will hardly be recognizable.

There is now a daily rant from the Obama administration about torture allegations. Even on Khalid Sheik Mohammed. By the way, he allegedly attended N.C. State for a while. Yet not one word about the 3,000 killed in New York City, many of whom had to jump from the World Trade Center.

What is going on?
