We are AT WAR for crying out loud...

And for generations, as the present leadership tells us. How much longer should we have to live without our Bill of Rights intact? We spent four years fighting WWII and then it was over. We knew how to win and we did it.

When you consider what's gone on with FEMA disarming citizens in New Orleans, the treatment of the Minute Men as pariahs, and the executive telling us that amnesty wasn't amnesty, I think it's time to do a reality check on freedom. We are veering further and further away from representational government. How did that happen? Can we trust the people in DC who are so disrespectful of our desire to see the rule of law upheld?

I say not. Powerful government is not the answer, it's part of the problem.

I think an excessively large federal government, with overly self important people in positions of power, is the problem.

A powerful government is not a bad thing, if there are decent people working there, and representing the common man, as opposed to being beholden to special interests.

One thing Ron Paul supported that I agree with. Term limits.
