Well, one day, our leaders are going to be called to answer for their ways IF they refused to change. This isn’t a game; it’s people’s lives they are playing with. I really think they feel completely insulated from reality but that could end in a rude awakening. We have a revolutionary spirit way down deep in our American souls and it could burn again, I truly believe, if our leaders abandon us.

I dunno...I think they pretty much have us at the moment. Not a thing we can do.

It is AQ, the DC dolts and a hundred other things. And it has become politically impossible to get anything worth doing done.

We cannot even build a fence! A simple old fasioned fence of all things.

This is so true. It applies to illegal immigration as well. The political elite don’t have their property or their lives affected by illegals like other people.

Where I used to live we had killings, drugs, and other crime getting out of control as the illegals moved in. It got to the point I wouldn’t let me wife go to our local Wal-Mart after dark because of all the illegals causing trouble in the parking lot. They finally had to have security start patroling the parking lot.

The term “LEADERS” bothers me. They are intended to be “REPRESENTAVIES”. Our government OF THE PEOPLE makes us the leaders. Herein lies the problem.

Nahhhh... That revolutionary spirit was squashed out about a generation back. You can thank public schools and an every-expanding government "caretaker" system. The ultimate goal has to make the citizens more dependent on the government. I mean - look what this "stimulus" payment really represents - a power play. The average worker works at last 1/3 of the year just to pay taxes and nothing but taxes. So by "giving" us back some of that money (except for those who pay nothing at all who are getting a check too), government is showing that they will take what they want from us, and "give" us just what we need because the government knows best.

Add to that the Obama and Hillary plans to socialize medicine, and Obama's "birth-grave" childcare... It is all about just getting the masses to work and rely on the government for needs. It is the exact mantra of the Communists in the old Soviet Union. Karl Marx would be so proud of the US Government and the direction it is going...
