When I was a kid, Memorial Day parades consisted of marching bands and baton twirlers, fire trucks and police cars, Shriners in go-karts and dogs in ballet tutus. Now, according to the cute doggie pic you posted, they also feature military tanks complete with heavy weaponry. What’s next, caissons carrying nuclear missiles? I am appalled at the direction this country is taking.

We are turning into a police state, right before our eyes. But most people don’t care, as long as its only minorities and immigrants being targeted.
