What makes us Americans unique in the world is that we question everything. This is how we are able to keep our freedoms, by questioning the people representing us in our government.
However, we have stopped questioning; we let them get away with too much, and they walked all over us. Now, we pay the price. Our freedom is at stake.
Where we once could be free people, we have been regulated and controlled. We no longer can have lemonade stands; kids can’t just go outside and play. They have rules about riding bikes, playing in the street on a Saturday, and what games can be played at school (oh yeah, and there are no winners and no losers growing up.) Groups of people have words they can use but others cannot, we have “free speech zones”, reporters for our Representatives have to use government computers so they can be monitored, and we have cameras on corners to watch us. In short, we have BIG BROTHER.
Yes, everyone needs rules, but common sense should also be there. Don’t ride a bike in the middle of the street. Don’t just go up and hit someone because they are different; there are ways of speaking without causing a fight. Unfortunately this is all some people can understand.
Where is our common sense? It’s been legislated to death.
We have given away too much power to our Representatives. We need to take it back.
Our Representatives are trying to put everyone in a bubble, for our own good. They want to control us for our safety.
We have given up our freedoms because we kept quiet too long. Our Representatives do not hear us anymore, no matter how loudly we yell or scream at them.
If we want OUR White House back and our House and Senate back, we are going to have to make them listen. We are going to have to find a way to get their attention.
Too many times, we have heard this is so-and-so’s Senate seat or House seat. It is NOT their seat; it is the people’s seat.
The White House is the House of the People. It does not belong to the current President, whoever he (or she) may be.
We MUST remember the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. They are not just old pieces of paper or rags.These are our Rights. Our founding fathers even said that they could not list all of our Rights in the Constitution as there are too many.
Do we really want to keep giving away everything? Or do we want safety so badly that we’re willing to give up ALL our Freedoms to Big Brother?
Do we want Big Brother speaking to us from a box on the street telling us to pick up trash and to not do this or that? Do you really want to get fined for anything and everything that they think we should or shouldn’t do?
I do not want to live like that. I want to take personal responsibility for myself and my actions from when I get up in the morning, deciding for myself what I eat, whether or not I exercise, and what choices I make during the day. What my kids eat during the day is MY responsibility. If I decide to drink soda 6 times a day or more or get a hangover, this is my responsibility. Taking responsibility also means accepting the consequences when you do something wrong, intentionally or not.

America better face up to what the fraud in the white house is intentionally doing to our country. We will need to do a lot of soul searching if Obama wins re-election because it may require other options to deal with this man. ….otherwise we will loose our country and children's future.
Well I'm not ready to lose my country. I fought for this country once and didn't die like many before me and the many to come but the fight is still going on and I didn't throw the towel in yet. SO BRING IT!!!!! I'm sick of the attacks on "We The People" by a bunch of mental cases called Liberal Democrats, aka-COMMUNISTS that have infiltrated our judicial system like the roaches they are, In the dark and under cover because they know in their hearts it's WRONG! Why would anyone sneak around to achieve something if it weren't WRONG and deceitful. I never in my life expected to see the crazy stuff I'm seeing now come from adults. I would have only thought a child was capable of these kinds of games and lies. It's so sad. God forgive me because I can't stay quiet anymore and the hatred I feel for for these less than scum we call Liberal Elites for the attacks on good folks that are honest and decent Conservative God loving Americans .
I am not ready to lose my country yet either, Fed_Up. I keep hoping to see my fellow Americans rise up and do something, anything, to stop this disaster that is happening, brought on by the Disease in Office. He is a Disease, a Disaster, an Insult, an Infection, and more! This whole administration is worthless, useless, and all of them qualify as ENEMIES of the United States of America! Whether by what they say, or worse, by what they DO NOT SAY IN SUPPORT OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE! They all, repubs and dimocraps alike are revolting, the lot of them should be thrown out on their rearends and left with nothing except their underwear, if that, to either survive or not, who cares if they do or don’t!!! I would like to see them all hung as the traitors they are! On the steps of the Capitol Building, for all to witness as to what happens to traitors! And, if they can’t stand up for the US Constitution, and Bill of Rights, and for the American citizens, then they obviously stand AGAINST ALL OF IT, AND AGAINST ALL OF US, CITIZENS AND PATRIOTS OF OUR AMERICA! I too have lived a rather long life, and I never thought that I would live to see the day and time such as I am seeing now, where we have in our White House an ENEMY SO BLATENTLY DETERMINED TO DESTROY OUR COUNTRY AND HER PEOPLE, and where the PEOPLE ALLOW IT WITHOUT A SOUND! In fact, a people who SUPPORT THIS ENEMY INSTEAD OF REVOLTING AGAINST HIM AND HIS EVIL INTENTIONS! To vote for this DISEASE, right after our Twin Towers were BOMBED, and 3000 people died as a result of this evil thing called “islam” (is slime) was insult to injury, for this DISEASE IS INDEED ANOTHER MU SLIME! This is the worst INSULT TO AMERICA AND AMERICANS IN OUR HISTORY! How can it be that Americans allowed such an INSULT TO BE???????
He has just legalized million illegals, America's enemies. We have bought our doom!!!
DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE REST OF OUR PEOPLE BUT WERE GONNA FIGHT TO THE END FOR WHAT WE HAVE LEFT. AND WILL NEVER LAY DOWN FOR THESE F–KIN GLOBALIST ASS CLOWNS.
