Americans ARE in an uproar. They are in an uproar in regards to the IRS targeting as well.

But....they know, nothing will be done to change it.

Webs of cameras being installed “Britain style”, Surveillance drones being deployed across America, DHS grants to local law enforcement to militarize their operations, Every alphabet agency deploying swat units, federal gubbamint attempting to dry up ammunition supplies, LEO raids on Amish dairy farms, home schools, private community gardens, private businesses.

What’cha gonna do? You call, you write, you attend townhalls...what else can a citizen do? They are NOT listening.

Chances are that by now, the vast majority of people have heard about NSA spying. But, to the majority, it's not their problem, since, they believe that, they have nothing to hide or useful to the government.

In addition, the people running the government and making the decisions, were put into office by a coalition of the clueless and the government dependents, which in reality, is more than 50% of the population. When 43-47% of the population doesn't pay federal taxes, and when most of them need some sort of government assistance, they will be voting for the people who can continue giving them things from government. Thus, the country is doomed. The NSA spying and EPA abuses and FBI targeting of reporters and the issue of Benghazi, is all foreign to most of the people who seek big government to take care of them, and they couldn't care less about any of those issues. They care more about keeping their benefits and freebies flowing their way.

It's the "what's in it for me" mentality. They can't relate to the issues, as long as those issues don't take away their freebies and benefits.
