Agreed.
One thing that I think people are afraid to do though, is speak up. People are afraid of being called conspiracy theorists and whack jobs. Even when I raise some concerns to my live-in girlfriend, she looks at me as-if I'm an alarmist and going off the deep end. Yet everything I raise to her is clearly documented and researched. If we get this kind of reaction at home, I can see why we're afraid to voice our opinions and outrage publicly.
(The following is not a political agenda, just an example.)
Take Ron Paul for example. He talks about common-sense stuff that many people dismiss as non-sense. For example, when he talks about the Federal Reserve and our constitutional rights being eroded, he's not making stuff up. He's telling people exactly what they DON'T want to know because it's too painful. For that reason alone, he'll never be president. Instead of making people feel good, he's telling us how dire things are right now and that radical change is needed to make things better.
And that is why Ron Paul has no shot in **** of being president
**** if the The founding fathers where alive today they would be seen as
terrorist... not as patriots.
