The kooks are amongst us.

We live in an age of kooks. Crazy conservative kooks. Parents who don't want their children to listen to the president of the United States. For fear that their precious little baby dolls will be corrupted. And steered down paths to socialism. My gawd. How have we come to this sad state of affairs? We even have kooks who claim that Barack Obama wasn't born in the U.S. And therefore, he has no business being president. We have kooks that come to town hall meetings with concealed weapons. I guess because they feel threatened over the possibility that socialized medicine will be foisted on 'em. Well, they certainly need socialized psychiatry. They need to be put away in a socialized nut house. I swear, even folks disguised as newscasters or pundits or commentators take to the airways on the Fox Network and espouse this kind of crap. They claim to be sane patriotic Americans. And they say the rest of us don't see the light. Believe me, I see the light. Yes, the inmates have escaped the asylum. They are amongst us. --Jim Broede
