Not to mention the terror threat.
It’s impossible for me to conceive of deciding that terror is a big enough threat to fight a war over but not a big enough threat to secure the borders over.
What is the thinking that went into that decision?

It is not the people that are beating that sick horse. It is the media, her handlers and those in positions of authority who want Americans to think about anything but their own interests and the interests of their nation.
Don’t condemn your own for failing to fully comprehend the evil which resides in the hearts of those in Power. It is those in Power who take every measure to keep the average American unaware and/or otherwise so burdened by concerns over a living that full and active participation as a citizen is beyond him..

I’m not condemning anybody. But most people don’t want to face up to their responsibilities as citizens. Period.
Don’t judge all Americans, even the Americans who agree with you, by the few people here in FR.
Most Americans would never think of writing or calling their congress-demons, no matter how much they disagreed with them.
Most Americans are out stoking the BBQ or watching the game on TV with their feet propped up and a beer in hand and if you tried to move them you know what they’ll say: “what are you going to do”.
And more power to them. I’m glad most Americans know how to enjoy life and their families and want to get ahead and not try to change the world. It’s a great attitude. But the downside is, they don’t want to get involved. They don’t want to pay attention. They don’t want people like us cajoling them and telling them you better do this or you better do that.
And the downside is, the evil scum in Washington (in both parties) know all this and can go about wrecking the country for their own short-term gain with absolute and total impunity.
And you know that’s true. Talk to your friends and neighbors. Not just the few who might happen to join you here. But all of them.
See what they say.
“What can you do?” -— that’s what you’ll hear
Good point - if he had actually gotten anything accomplished, who’s to say it would have been helpful?
It is not that the people are not active.. I believe their voices are muffled, their opinions are suppressed.
Just as C Span Censored Dr. Savage.. the Press, the Mandarin Class, and our Public Officials censor the people when ever they can.
They censored him by shutting of the camera. They censor us by cutting off direct access to our elected officials.
Citizens can work like crazy to get someone elected like Congressmen Cunningham only to be frozen out by Washington’s Republi-con and Demon-crat Party Apparatus. They then watch helplessly as their Congressmen is taken down.
We are censored by the Media who does not report our Rallys even when the participants outnumber the anti-American protesters as as happened in the Washington DC Gathering of Eagles.
They censor us by when ever possible at the grass roots level seeking the least articulate to state our positions. They censor us by setting our spokesmen up against 2-3 liberal spokesmen insuring the conservative position will receive no more that 30% of “equal” time.
They censor us by under or failing to report accurately the calls, e-mails and letters the elected officials receive from us. (want proof?)There is no independent means of verification with regards to the number, subject and position of correspondence to our elected officials (how convenient). The staffer says X and X it is. Who is to know or say different?
Of course the information our elected officials receive conveniently corresponds to the ascendants desires. (or at least does not significantly hinder them). Finally our elected officials add their stench and act based upon that which is most profitable first, supports their political philosophy second.. The peoples desires or interests? A distant third if that..
I believe our conservative people are far more concerned and active than is revealed. It is not revealed or acknowledged because it is not in the interests of those in power to do so..
Where am I wrong?
