Ask the nandy pandy, diverting LSM about that. They contend we have nothing to fear. Seriously scary stuff.

The government should at least respect the people they represent. The fear should be that any politician who does not serve and vote on the people's behalf, will be replaced in the next election. Therefore they are accountable. However, unfortunately the people keep putting politicans back who have treated people like dirt, are above the law, and tell us what to do instead of representing us. Now some are even taking our rights and foundations away. We have not held our leaders accountable and it shows.

Remember, "We the people".....most seem to have forgotten that we are suppose to be in charge not the politicians.

And that's how it starts...complacency...worrying only about yourself and not seeing the entire picture. Our future is looking very scary at this time and Americans need to open their eyes and act NOW, before it's too late.

they are really dummed down. are you sure it isn't already too late? the only hope left is for the teas/repubs to take the Senate. if that doesn't happen....well....

We can't have that attitude, that it's already too late...I don't think it is...this to me, is a wake up call...time to move instead of just sit back and complain.

If we don't get the Senate and proceed from there, it will happen.

Buck up, we can do this!! We just have to get more involved instead of sitting on the sidelines, which is how we got to this place to begin with.

We have both going on right now.

I think all governments fear the people but that doesn't mean because the people have liberty. No government wants it's people to rise up. The government in America has it best because we are brainwashed that we take care of things by voting.
