Upside-down Land

Sir Knight and I were discussing the state of the nation and noticed a disturbing trend.  Now, rather than living in the land of the free and the home of the brave, we live in Upside-down Land.  You don't know what I could possible mean?



You know you live in Upside-down Land if:

You know you live in Upside-down Land if...
  • A Muslim officer crying "Allah Akbar" while shooting up an army base is considered to have committed "Workplace Violence" while an American citizen boasting a Ron Paul bumper sticker is classified as a "Domestic Terrorist".
You know you live in Upside-down Land if...
  • Your government believes that the best way to eradicate trillions of dollars of debt is to spend more money.
You know you live in Upside-down Land if...
  • A seven year old boy can be thrown out of school for calling his teacher "cute" but hosting a sexual exploration class on a college campus is perfectly acceptable.
You know you live in Upside-down Land if...
  • 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 Upside-down Land if...
  • Children are forcibly removed from parents who appropriately discipline them while children of "underprivileged" drug addicts are left to rot in filth infested cesspools.
You know you live in Upside-down Land if...
You know you live in Upside-down Land if...
  • Hard work and success are rewarded with higher taxes and government intrusion, while slothful, lazy behavior is rewarded with EBT cards, WIC checks, Medicaid and subsidized housing.
You know you live in Upside-down Land 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 Upside-down Land if...
  • Being self-sufficient is considered a threat to the government.
You know you live in Upside-down Land if...
  • Politicians think that stripping away the amendments to the constitution is really protecting the rights of the people.
You know you live in Upside-down Land if...
  • The rights of the State come before the rights of the individual.
You know you live in Upside-down Land if...
  • Parents believe the State is responsible for providing for their children.
You know you live in Upside-down Land if...
  • You can write a post like this just by reading the news headlines.
You know you live in Upside-down Land if...
  • You pay your mortgage faithfully, denying yourself the newest big 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 Upside-down Land if...
  • Your government can add anything they want to your kid's water (fluoride, chlorine, etc.) but you are not allowed to give them raw milk.
You know you live in Upside-down Land if...
  • Being stripped of the ability to defend yourself makes you "safe".
You know you live in Upside-down Land if...
  • You have to have your parents signature to go on a field trip but not to get an abortion.
You know you live in Upside-down Land if...
  • You can get arrested for expired tabs on your car but not for being in the country illegally.
You know you live in Upside-down Land if...
You know you live in Upside-down Land if...
  • Using the "N" word is considered "hate speech" but writing and signing 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?

  5. So true, but don't despair you aren't alone, the situation is if anything worse here in the UK. I take comfort that the Lord doesn't test the steel with more than the steel can take. As to where we go from here? Wherever it is I suspect the intention is we'll be getting there in a handbasket.

  6. Enola,
    THE "push" is on.
    What we do is sit and watch, until the personal Boundary line of each citizen is crossed, and becomes so wrought with losses and angst that he must "chose" liberty or death.

    Evaluate your beliefs and pray to God to recognize your personal limits to "Render unto Caesar".

  7. "We have found the enemy, and it is us" Pogo comic strip, a long time ago.

    Unfortunately, it is not all of us, it's the half of "us" that think the government and other people's money will fix the problems they very often created by their poor choices. They think "we" are the problem, yet they don't even get it that they won't get any more golden eggs, if they kill the geese that lay those golden eggs.

    Very, very frightening to be dealing with so many people so out of touch with facts.

  8. Some talk about a hidden agenda. It looks like it's out in the open to me..
    A sad commentary on the direction this country is going.

  9. Once I saw a Dilbert cartoon that had one charactor saying "I summon the unholy demons of cynacism, sarcasm and apathy"

    Thats about how I feel at the moment thinking of "Upside Down World".

    In one of the older Superman Comic books there was "Bizzaro World" were everything is the opposite of our world.

    Bizzaro world were nothing makes sense. Wealthy people making too much money are persecuted and Wall Street Protestors are being praised by the media.

    This world would make a good "Twighlight Zone" episode in the 1960's.

  10. Excellent! I'm posting this to my Fb and when I get home from church I'm going to post it over on my blog for all of my 'ones' of readers.

  11. “Where do we go from here?” Most readers have made sacrifices, incurred personal losses, and suffered persecution to support our once great country. America has reached a crossroads. In the absence of divine intervention, I think we need to focus on protecting our family and loved ones and get away from the wall. Humpty Dumpty is going to fall. Montana Guy

  12. Upside Land kinda looks like an Aardvark.

    Ironically, if this pacing of downturn events keep spiraling at this swift pace, we will all be searching out ants to survive on.

  13. "Behold, I come quickly, hold fast that which thou hast, that no man take thy crown." Revelation 3:11
    Jesus Christ, Yeshua Messiah cannot come soon enough for me!! Praise Him that we have more to look forward to than man's greedy, corrupt government that is being swept away to usher in the eternal, glorious, righteous and just kingdom of our Christ.

  14. Upside land is so true. I cannot believe this is the same country I was born in - it is like a foreign land and I am merely a visitor.

    Get your beans, bullets, and bandaids ready. We're going to need them sooner than we think.

  15. As usual, a brilliant post.
    Because Christmas is almost upon us, is there a way I could contribute to your blog? Cosmolined
    P.S. I don't do computer stuff and don't know what a URL is or I'd be me, not anonymous.

  16. You know you live in Upside Down Land when "Occupation 101" is the newest college course offered at NYU. If you're not home-schooling your children, what are you waiting for?

  17. How very appropriate. The old naval sign of distress is to fly the flag upside-down on the mast of a ship. I can't think of a more appropriate way to exhibit both the flag, and the country in this upside-down orientation.

  18. Unfortunately you are spot on. And your right, the list can go on and on. Vote Ron Paul in 2012 and do something constructive to get this nation back on track. He's our only hope, because otherwise your going to get more of the same ole, same ole, unless we as people do something about it!

  19. Yes, thank God for Ron Paul bringing to light so many of our lost liberties. We need this man at this hour!

  20. Sounds like Australia....the land down under :)

  21. We're not only upside down, but sinking into the quicksand of statist abyss!

  22. Federal Government Takes Final Step to Suspend Constitution

    (RTR) – In what can only be considered a tragic irony, the U.S. Senate passed out of the final conference committee the controversial National Defense Authorization Act of 2012, coinciding with the 220th Anniversary of the ratification of the Bill of Rights. Section 1031 of the National Defense Authorization Act otherwise known as the NDAA, provides broad authority for the federal government to use the military in domestic operations in order to detain Americans indefinitely and without trial.

  23. Father Nathan Monk tells the City Council, "We have the right to redress our government without fear of being arrested," and is nearly arrested. Read the article: http://www.pensacoladigest.com/2011/12/council-urges-civility-threatens-pries...

  24. I dare say you can't document each of your claims, above.

    You assume they are taking place in America ("but of course they are") when, in fact, either few or none of these are.

    I say again, I bet you can't document even the majority of the above.

  25. I am in RAGE when I encounter the ostrich people who hide their heads in the ground, refusing to recognize reality. I ask why? Either they are believers in a Socialist, Marxist society... OR, they are blind to the current events and direction our country is being taken. Greed. Immorality. Corruption. At the highest levels and yet they ignore it. Any intelligent mind can see how the media is attempting manipulation of attitudes. I see America repeating the same mistakes of ancient Rome and 1930's Germany. The parallels are too consistent.
