Are Americans playing around with the end of civilization? [WND]

Our guest columnist spent Thanksgiving roasting a turkey:

With our country founded more than 20 centuries ago, we have much to celebrate – from the FBI’s 100 days to the reforms that bring greater inefficiencies to our health care system.
