We, the people, are on our own.
Politicians and bureaucrats are too busy fighting turf battles to warn us of trouble.
Look to the government FOR NOTHING!
Well, we certainly don't want to be found in the same position as the NO 'wards of the state' who sat around and waited to be rescued by the government. I'm sure every good conservative American doesn't want their help.
On the other hand, they limit our ability to defend ourselves in the interest of National Security-- yet they don't take responsibility when hearings like this happen.
The Minuteman issue is a perfect example of the same mindset. What, common citizens actually acting like they have a say in things? They're "vigilantes"!
Wait. The government was "able" to stop the CIA from hiring those with a criminal record. And don't forget that they could keep Walmart from delivering those water bottles to New Orleans during Katrina.
