There is one issue that neither side of the political war is talking about.
It is a key issue of the rapidly eroding freedoms in the United States. This is a bipartisan issue and everyone is watching.
People are watching all the cameras that watch them.
People are listening to the government representatives who give more and more repressive rules
People are watching repressive systems of tracking through license plates, through facial recognition, domestic drones, through financial systems, through medical records, computer records, telephone records, satellite records, search engine records, social media records, state records, travel records.
And Republican, Democrat, Independent, Green, or Libertarian
they are all concerned.
This is the one area of agreement that cuts across all political colors. To be un-watched, and have privacy in our lives.
Americans are tired of being treated like criminals.
Let the ticket state that this is an issue they take seriously. Propose a one month, three month and six month record keeping guidelines. Rein in out of control state and federal agencies.
Other countries do not permit this sort of tracking. It is time for our country to face the creeping totalitarianism that is wending itself through the woof and warp of what was once a free nation.
So Romney/Ryan...are you up for working for economic freedom and basic human liberty? Paul Ryan has some terrific ideas to help our economic catastrophe, but without protecting our basic liberties, we will not recover and they will not win.

I talk with people from all aspects of the political spectrum and the issues of privacy and freedom are growing concerns for most of the people.
Less and less do I hear fools say: Oh I dont do anything wrong so let them watch me.
Interesting article
what is a ket?
I hate to be ignorant but I don’t know what the word means
You never heard of kitty kets??
Sadly Republicans like power and control as much as Democrats do. Don’t disappoint yourself by expecting Mitt Romney to restore personal freedoms. The TSA will still be groping your netherworlds, the drones will still fly over your property and unless the judiciary steps in the Patriot Act and the NDAA will still give the govt the right to grab you up off the street and detain you indefintely at Gitmo.
It means I misspelled KEY.
I have notified the mods to fix it.
Please nice nice admin mod? Please?
Sadly Republicans like power and control as much as Democrats do.
I agree and this is the time to call them out. This is the time to ask for freedoms to be restored.
Are there any left?
Are there any left?

You’re not ignorant. It’s not ignorant to not know what a word means. Having said that... I don’t know what it means either and have never heard of it. What is it??

I make typing errors ALL the time.

A couple of them resigned a few days ago. It looked like nobody was “modding” for awhile...

Taking on the erosion of these freedoms is a bipartisan issue
“This is the time to ask for freedoms to be restored.”
This the time to demand that our freedoms be restored. It will probably take pitchforks in the streets at this point.
Sorry to hear.
Let’s keep this bumped.
It will be interesting to hear Freeper input.
How do we make Freedom and the Economy centerpieces to the election.
probably take pitchforks in the streets

We could probably start with pitchforks to the canidates’ backsides.
Every Christian knows (by faith) that the nations were determined by God when He confused the language of the people that they could/would not unite to build another tower (of Babel)
Thus;
Every nation on the planet is the result of rebellion and confusion.
This little piece of real estate we call the United States of America has been, as far as I can determine, kept from the eyes and invasion of man until a select group of people would unite in a common bond to develope a politic, ultimately a society/sociol structure, that had PURPOSEFULLY God as the basis for our INDIVIDUAL freedom and liberty.
We are not an experiment, we are BY DESIGN, a free nation.
OK, that was the intent, and if God is the basis for our life, liberty and freedom then the basis for our decline can only be His anti-thesis .. Satan.
We are built on God and being destroyed by Satan.
Politics will not save this nation ... we must return unto God, His principles and thought (patterns ... "Let this mind be in you which is in Christ Jesus")
