What Has America Become by Ken Huber-Authorship Confirmed!

Has America become the land of the special interest and home of the double standard?
Lets see: if we lie to the Congress, it’s a felony and if the Congress lies to us its just politics; if we dislike a black person, we’re racist and if a black dislikes whites, it’s their First Amendment right; the government spends millions to rehabilitate criminals and they do almost nothing for the victims; in public schools you can teach that homosexuality is OK, but you better not use the word God in the process; you can kill an unborn child, but it is wrong to execute a mass murderer; we don’t burn books in America, we now rewrite them; we got rid of the communist and the Socialist threat by renaming them progressives; we are unable to close our border with Mexico but have no problem protecting the 38th parallel in Korea; if you protest against President Obama’s policies you’re a terrorist but if you burned an American flag or George Bush in effigy it was your First Amendment right.
You can have pornography on TV or the Internet, but you better not put a nativity scene in a public park during Christmas; we have eliminated all criminals in America, they are now called sick people; we can use a human fetus for medical research but it’s wrong to use an animal.
We take money from those who work hard for it and give it to those who don’t want to work; we all support the Constitution, but only when it supports our political ideology; we still have freedom of speech, but only if we are being politically correct; parenting has been replaced with Ritalin and video games; the land of opportunity is now the land of handouts; the similarity between Hurricane Katrina and the Gulf Oil spill is that neither president did anything to help.
And how do we handle a major crisis today? The government appoints a committee to determine who’s at fault, then threatens them, passes a law, raises our taxes; tells us the problem is solved so they can get back to their re-election campaign.
What has happened to the land of the free and the home of the brave?

Summary of eRumor:
An editorial headlined “What Has America Become” written by a man named Ken Huber from Tawas City, Michigan, has gone viral.
The Truth:
We were able to track the What Has America Become editorial written by Ken Huber back to its original publication date, June 9, 2010, in the Iosco County News Herald.
The editorial makes a number of comparisons between liberal and conservative and alludes to modern progressivism being hypocritical:

Thank you, SinnieK, excellent editorial.
We live in a corrupt, despicable culture that permeates from the top levels of our society to the bottom. Ironic as it may be, IT starts at the bottom level that's apathetic; everything is relevant to one's own perspective (everyone's right in their own sight) void of eternal truths; we esteem the superficial and trash meaningful values to the side (rather watch filth and lies on the 'idiot tube' than talk and relate with our own children and know our neighbors. We disrespect our Parent, the CREATOR of the Universe and ask, "What is wrong with HIM" as we continue in our own ways avoiding any responsibility for our thoughts and actions! Our Representatives truly represent us!

I wonder what the so clear and articulate Mr. Huber would have to say about the Moslem (spelling on purpose) invasion.
