That was when we were under the Constitution, my FRiend. That was before the majority of those that vote decided they would rather live as slaves dependent upo the Government to wipe their collective asses than to live as free responsible citizens.
Most folks do not take the time to research candidates for President. I do.
The weird thing about Obama was when I began looking into his background, information began to be scrubbed off the internet. This was in March 2008.
I brought some information to Free Republic at that time and in April 2008 my computer was hacked and files stolen. My nephew tracked the hack to a Senate office building in Washington, D.C.
Over the next 10 - 11 months my computer was hacked three more times. The last time was right after the inauguration and originated in Washington, again. (The two inbetween hacks occurred during the campaign and originated from Chicago.)
I had found evidence that Obama wasn’t born in the U.S.A. and that he was a communist.
People didn’t want to believe, instead relying upon the MSM. Those media folks have been threatened; I’ve even persuaded a couple of them to admit to me that’s the case.
The odd thing about this situation is how many people are still expecting to be saved by someone else. It doesn’t work that way.
“To live as free responsible citizens”, as you so aptly put it, means we do it ourselves.
Oh, and I’ve been answering my front door with a loaded shotgun nearby since 2008, just to be careful.
