One of the things I hear over and over is how did this one or that one get elected or how did we get this guy as our candidate. I think BTK hit on it exactly that there now is 24/7 media telling people what was said. That is dangerous since as BTK points out, people who interpret put their own 'spin' on what was said in order to get what they want. The American people have become fat and lazy and unconscious about how precious their liberties are and the freedom liberty affords them.

So, they just don't pay attention and wait for someone who may not have their best interest at heart tell them what was said and what to think. Lemmings all !

To give my opinion on Kahuana's question: Will our rights survive or expire?
The answer is no if the current political trend continues. Just look at the $700B bailout and more to come from our seats of government. We lost more of our liberties and freedom there in one fell swoop. Socialism is not democracy. We must protect democracy in this country at all costs.
