Irreparable, that's both the operative word and the stated intent. Obama's dream of fundamentally transforming America as we know it plows full steam ahead. Hence, the following incidents numb us into morbid resignation:

An illegal immigrant and five-time deportee from Nicaragua viciously beat and raped a developmentally disabled woman in Ohio. Prior to this, he had been arrested multiple times in the United States on charges of DUI, driving without a license, disorderly intoxication, false imprisonment, and sexual battery. His cumulative punishment from the totality of these prior arrests was a single day in prison and a $10 fine.
