Your faith in our Government is sadly lacking. Is it your opinion that we just open everything up to the public and let the poles decide. What kind of trust you must have in our leaders. This terminal deal was looked at by all of the security departments and nothing was found that could be determent.

Maybe it's time for a few to decide a new Constitution based on everything must have the total population approve before it is done. It's obvious to me no matter which Party is in the White House, Congress, House, and the repective departments cannot make decisions for the good of the Country. Oversite is being done on everything that our Government does. My many years experience tells me too much information or too little in the hands of the population will totally stop this Country from making any kind of progress. I have to place my trust in President Bush and his Administration during his tenure. What I don't trust is all the spin and lies the RATS concoct.

Take the British. We fought a war with them. Shall we not trust them as friends? How about Mexico, remember the Alamo. How about............. hell, who has not been our enemy in our short history. But, somewhere we have to look not in the past but hope for the future. It is hard, but this rhetoric is purely stupid.

Government is "Of the People, By the People, and For the People.

When government takes an unpopular initiative the people are properly entitled to revolt. It is apparent that our government lacks the listening power to actually comprehend what the people believe is the right course of action. Far too many times government takes a midnight initiative to avoid accountability because it is all about reelection. High finance is not always the sensible option to practicality and long term consequence. HIgh finance is all about the short term gain. So what if a few peasants are sacrificed along the way.

Forgive me if I seem to lack confidence in the judgment of our government leaders. We need look no further than illegal immigration and our (sic) leaders who have no fortitude to drill in Anwr as good reasons why we should mistrust those people in high places. It is obvious they aren't listening to the people, but to the jingle of cash.

>>>>>Your faith in our Government is sadly lacking.

Nothing sad about it. I'm a political conservative. By nature, I believe in a limited federal government, a conservative policy agenda and individual freedom. What we have today in WashDC is a bloated bureaucracy, that is out of control.

>>>>Maybe it's time for a few to decide a new Constitution ...

No, we just need to follow the Constitution we have today. The same Constituttion that has governed us since 1787.

>>>>I have to place my trust in President Bush and his Administration during his tenure.

When Bush is right, I support him. When Bush is wrong, I oppose him. That's what living in a constitutional republic is all about. Free speech and political dissent is alive and well in my world of the Founding Fathers.
