Well, that’s frikken brilliant, Jean Francoise Kerrier.

Too bad you and your ilk have done everything you can to give us a government that no sane person can have faith in.

“countries are far more likely to advance economically and socially when citizens have faith in their governments and are able to rely on them for justice and equal treatment under the law.”

Eric Holder? justice and equal treatment under the law.? Surely you jest.

Having a somewhat trustworthy government, even it it's flawed, would help. Since Kerry knows it's true, and does everything to betray that trust, I guess he doesn't want us to prosper? Obviously he's made his whole career out of harming America.

Nations prosper when governments are worthy of trust.

I have faith in God. Governments are for having confidence in, not faith. Unless you’re a fking liberal in which case government IS your religion.

He knows that because of his present experience as part of a government that citizens have absolutely no faith in at all.

maintain an army, defend the border and shut the .... up!! The founders didn’t intend for these @#$@#$ to make 200k a year with lobbyists lining their pockets with millions more and free vacations around the world.
