And please spare me the "you wouldn't care if it was a Democrat doing all this" horseshit, please. That's just not true. This isn't a partisan issue, or at least it shouldn't be.

PD... i am not afraid of Democrats. i am not afraid of Republicans, i am not afraid of the government of the United States. Thats DEFINATELY not the same thing as saying "Don't Worry, Be Happy" as you put it. Thats your characterization of my words, not my own. i did not say "dont worry, be happy".

my position on this issue is the same as it has been from day 1. i dont live in fear of my own government or of any current political party. the government itself works very well and continues to do so. the government, by design also has its own systems of checks and balances to prevent abuse of power which have also been tested over time.

so lets see PD... the President cant get away with getting a blowjob in his office without a massive scandal that almost got him impeached... but you worry that he may decide to arbtrarily kidnap innocent people in the middle of the night and have them shot and thats what we should worry about?

i am not sure what you are saying. So you dont like the current administration... why is your voice in the minority if it is such a massive problem and we are bordering on some kind of Constitutional meltdown? i am trusting the system of 300 years and the opinions of 100,000,000 plus people.

i trust in the political process. i dont always agree with it. i dont expect those who make up our government to be perfect. i certainly dont expect to agree with them always. i do however believe that the government represents the will of the people. if that were not true... the entire country would be up in arms right now once they realized that things are as bad as you think they are. maybe you are just failing to get your "doom and gloom" message to the masses... or maybe that is why Democrats lost the White House, Senate and House and why for only the third time in history, the Presidents party pulled that off.

The fact is PD, the majority of people in the United States do not think things are as bad as you do.
