We have sat and allowed our government to make a farce of our constitution to the point that it is only a shell of it's former greatness. We have sat and allowed our government to pass Acts such as NAFTA and CAFTA that has done nothing but weakened our economy when corporations and companies left to set up shop in countries that have an abundance of peon labor. So now when we buy something at all it is made in another country.
Many of us have never so much as questioned the government's idea behind the SPP that has held 5 closed meetings so far to plan something that American people do not know a thing about because the media is not allowed to sit in on these meetings. At the last meeting held in Canada, citizens were held back 15 miles from the meeting place. If there isn't anything for us to worry about, why be so secretive ?
And now we have 3 favored candidates for the presidency that have proven to be untrustworthy? It seems to me that the American people have failed in their basic responsibility as Americans and have followed the traditional procedure of voting party instead of candidacy to the extent that we now have a mess in our government. And when it is too late to do anything about it, the finger pointing and excuses will start from the same ones who voted us into it all.
All one has to do is read the history prior to WW 11 to see just how the dictators took over much of Europe. Wasn't it something about them making the citizens register their arms?
