After 911, the US gov’t was WITH the American people
against al Qaeda.

Today, the US gov’t arms al Qaeda,
forces al Qaeda/MB on other countries,
gives them SARIN an MANPADs to kill innocents,
while it terrorizes the American people,
taxes them to DEATH, spies on them,
shares their medical and psychiatric histories
between agencies as a joke,
all WHILE leaving the borders wide open.

Unfortunately, I think when people fear the government, it only emboldens them. It’s a vicious circle.

Just 19% of voters believe the federal government today has the consent of the governed.

37 per cent? How many respondents did not answer the question honestly because they were afraid of the government?

Good question. I am sure it entered in there somewhere.

63% of voters are not paying attention if they don’t fear the Federal Government. We already know that over 50% of the voters are stupid.

That's because we are being ruled by a Communist Oligarchy.

They would be the makers. The rest are down with being pulled in the wagon.

Harry Reid thinks anyone who fears the government is a terrorist.

I guess that means that outside the beltway we are a nation of terrorists.

Probably the same amount who do not answer truthfully when asked by phone pollsters if they have a gun in their home.

After 9/11 the Govt USED 9-11 to consolidate control of the American people. Patriot Act.

Forty-seven percent (47%) do not

Just a coincidence, I'm sure.

60% of voters have no idea what "consent of the governed" means. 40% think "consent" is the brand name for a new feminine deodorant.

Men and those 40 and over are more likely to fear the federal government than women and younger voters.

The indoctrination of our children is working.......

“63% of voters are not paying attention if they don’t fear the Federal Government.”

Just for giggles, tell us why you fear 400-lb, 50 IQ slugs who squat at their Affirmative Action desks like amoebas and produce nothing all day.

Do you think these fat clowns are tough 10-foot-tall Rambos, willing to die on a hilltop for the glory of President Buckwheat?

Tell us, too, how strategically important it is to have 2.1 billion rounds of cop killer bullets for their Glocks that have an effective range of 50 meters.

Finally, give us examples of armies composed of 400-lb slobs armed with pistols who have successfully won major battles.

Looking forward to your answer.

I saw no 400lb slugs at the Bundy ranch. Next time they’ll have more.
