and AGAINST we the people. It is and has been due to the silent majority in this country. It has been reported more than I can recount how most Americans (usually over 85%) are against what has been happening to our freedoms, values, core beliefs and direction for the last 40 year (maybe more).

However, as statistically proven time and again there is no action taken by that majority...they are either too busy...don't care...or most often of the ilk, it doesn't affect me so why bother. Well over time it is finally aggregating to where it may be affecting some. But it still will not be sufficient to change we the people from apathy to action.

As the older generation (most of us) fade, being replaced by younger generations which will have never ever known any better, the do nothing apathy, entitlement group will begin to procreate and subsequent generations can only care even less.

The window of opportunity is fast closing on opportunities to reverse the trend.

The non representative, representatives, do nothing, liars, cheaters, lechers, whore mongers, tax evasion experts, what's in it for me politicians that repeatedly do the wrong the thing and sometimes very illegal and immoral....some how manage to keep getting re-elected...term after term after term after term. Because the apathetic lazy critical mass contained in we the people allow it.

Plain and simple. It has also been proven time and again that when there is a ground swell reaction to an issue by the majority...there is usually a reaction by the politicians. But it does not have consistent forward momentum.

How about another good/bad example. The confirming process of Soltomayor for the Suprteme Court. It is not amusing that recent candor from politicians regarding their approach to responding is a function of saying or not what ever it takes to not affect their ability to get re-elected. Doing the right thing for America? Certainly not. It is reported every day and I venture a guess that most Americans do not even question why their representatives are not doing what is right for we the people. The politicians are well tuned to the fact that we the people do not react or care very much about what they do or don't do, hence they do what works for them.....NOT WE THE PEOPLE!!!!!

I personally liked the slip of characterization in the article with the slip of the lip or pen when refering to the "sheeple".....one of my favorite terms!!!

The silent majority is getting what it deservws. The future generations will pay the price....not us.
