I have known the Hammonds since I was a girl (70+ years). My mom and Anna Hammond were best friends the whole of their lives. The Hammonds have one of highest standards of ethics I have ever met and that includes all of them.
They were the first people I ever knew (away from my own family) who were “Truthers”, a word uncommonly used because most Americans in gov are such consummate liars.
It absolutely blows me away to think the US Gov would behave as if “The Dwights” were subversives.
The US Gov is out of control as it has been for many, many years, and should be completely redone after determining what it is each department and section and group should actually be doing. Fire the rest of the people who have been typing one with one digit a day and let them starve...grifters that they are.
The only other alternative is to secede and that we should do and we should bring the initial Constitution with us and begin anew. It wouldn’t take us long to figure out what we and our new nation could do without in terms of laws and subversives.
If there is ever a popular movement to remove some part of this country from the federal government’s grasp – and it is successful – then those separatists will call themselves Americans long after Washington D.C. has abandoned the label.
