Wonder if this even resonates with "conservatives" anymore. Wonder if this will get pulled for not being patriotic enough.....

Lots of us dream about Ann Coulter.

Interesting take, and pretty much the stuff I've thought for years. The explanation is that the chains have been forged one by one over many years through many well-intentioned pieces of legislation.

If all of today's current restrictions on liberty had been imposed all at once, the American people would have risen in revolution and hanged the perpetrators from the nearest lamppost.

But, like boiling a frog by turning up the heat a little at a time, we accept the restrictions because individually they seem so small or they don't directly affect us.

Taken as a whole, however, we get what we have today.

Go for it if complaining gives you some satisfaction. I don't feel ashamed. God bless the nation where even the spoiled children feel justified in complaining about something. We have it better than any other country in the world.

This country contains my dreams, my family, my friends, and a whole lot of people to admire. Together we can acheive anything we want or nothing at all. It is freedom and opportunity in action. Many of the people who died to create and defend this country never had it as good as I do. I never forget that.
