Someday soon it will happen. The America that we once knew...will be dead.

Let's see, we are rapidly turning into a surveillance society, we have a federal government that is spending more money than ever, we have a federal government that is trying to control more and more of the infrastructure that should be controlled at local levels (i.e. No Child Left Behind), we elect officials not because they are the absolute best candidate, but simply because we don't like the other candidate, we have a Supreme Court ruling that says private property is no long as sacred and absolute as it once was (if somebody else will pay higher taxes, they can have your land taken from you), and we have some powers that have been granted to the government (such as the PATRIOT Act) that will be abused to hell and back by liberals.

Are you sure that the America we once knew is not already dead or dying?

af, what you said is very true, there's no denying that we are in a very dire evolving situation in this country.

But, here comes the but...but, we ain't dead yet. In my mind, when I see the US become a mirror image of what the Soviet Union was when it was at it's zenith, then, America will be truly dead. When all our property is seized and we are put in collective housing, then America will be dead. When America's veterans, such a Jim Robinson and millions of others are thrown into jail for speaking out against the ever growing tyranny of a handful of elitist socialist at the top of the food chain in our country, America will be truly dead.

More and more laws that control our day to day lives are being handed out and accepted by the majority of Americans. I say accepted because of our inaction to counter and fight against them. Inaction is a sign of acception. If they don't see us railing against more and more control on our lives, it's a signal to them to just keep on taking, see how far they can push us up against the wall before we start fighting back. When all of our rights have been trampled on and discarded, then America will be truly dead.

We ain't dead yet. There's still alot of life left in us and that will be their undoing. They will feel over confident because of the lack of opposition in what they are pulling in this country. How much farther they can push and how much more we will take is entirely up to 'we the people'.

Sorry for the rant.
