Remove ‘stop signs’ and what do you get? A republic in jeopardy
Picture any busy intersection with no traffic controls or stop signs and no one there to direct passage. Within minutes, there would be chaos.
Chaos in this country and even in the rest of the world is happening now as a result of the softening, or elimination of common-sense laws and rules to live by. We put locks on our doors and hire alarm services to protect our homes, yet we are reluctant to control our borders.
Terrorists have openly stated that they are coming after us and our way of life by entering the country through our virtually uncontrolled boarders. Relaxed or unenforced laws are causing an increase in violence throughout the world.
Many “societal stop signs” have been removed. Political correctness has been taken to the extreme and put our way of life at risk. The rights of lawbreakers seem to be of more concern than those of victims. To be “humane,” we release criminals from prisons early, and condone same-sex marriages, transgender bathrooms, and even abortion for any reason.
It seems that humanity, as well as our republic, is in great jeopardy.
