After two and a half years of blogging, I'm giving up hope.

I witnessed the fall of the Twin Towers as it happened 5 years ago and I remember distinctly thinking that now Americans will understand what Israelis have been feeling and understanding for 50+ years.

Since that horrible day, I have witnessed the amazing transformation of Americans and the incredible spirit of working together in protecting the country.

But I've also witnessed the dark side of humanity. Not just in Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran and North Korea, but in places like Britain, France, Spain and right here in the USA.

I've witnessed an unbelievable smear campaign against the President of the United States by an unhinged element in society whose own agenda trumps common sense and self-preservation.

I've witnessed an illogical increase in anti-Semitism that harkens back to the darkest days of Nazi Germany.

I've witnessed failures in governments to protect it's own citizens in a war for their very own existence.

I've witnessed the making of a motion picture that celebrates the assassination-to-be of the President and the utter disregard of the office of the President by people who pretend to be someone else for a living.

I've witnessed Hollywood stand up and applaud a movie-maker who created a dishonest documentary that made up his own truth about 9/11 and the President of the US - all the while attempting to force the true story off the air two years later.

I've witnessed a tremendous upturn in the incredible belief that 9/11 was an inside job - based entirely on theories that have been proven false.

I've witnessed the total moral collapse of the Democratic Party and it's commitment to win, regardless of the cost to the country's survival.

I've also witnessed moral relativism and Holocaust-denials and fauxtography and the shameless arrogance, cover-ups and fantasies of the national news media.

And, I've witnessed Americans falling all over themselves to protect the rights of murderers over the rights of those who've been murdered.

I've witnessed it all in just 5 short years. Just 5 years.

Is it any wonder I have no hope?

I can scream my head off over the unfairness of it all. I mean, why has it all been this way?

Please don't tell me it's all George Bush's fault. That has got to be the most asinine answer ever considered. Granted, it makes the Left feel good, but it isn't even remotely close to reality. Anyone who believes that fallacy has been hiding under a rock since 1979.

Maybe it isn't hopeless. But, boy, right now, it sure feels that way.
