Morals lost in name of individual rights

Too many unwanted babies; make abortion legal. Too many illegal immigrants in the country to deport; give them amnesty. Too many traffic tickets for illegal right-hand turns; get rid of the cameras. Too many gay people living together; give them marriage rights. Too many people being arrested for drug use; legalize marijuana use. Too many gun deaths; legalize concealed weapons carry. What's next? Give in the people who want polygamy, sodomy, euthanasia, etc. because it is “their right”?

This country was founded on the premise that the majority rules, but the 535 elected officials and that “Pied Piper for change” in Washington have proved that the big contributors to their campaign funds and the most vocal groups and lobbyists are the rule makers. America has lost its morals and is destroying itself in the name of “individual rights.”
