The choice: True individual freedom or "freedom in chains"

Quote:
As long as the government and media keep giving the people "bread and circuses" - no problem. Meanwhile the government just does whatever the hell it wants, including the latest Supreme Court decision that the government can steal someone's home and give it to a business. Face it, most of the people in this country are too busy waiting for their own government subsidy and watching "american idol", "survivor" and any other "reality" show to pay any attention to real reality.
It seems like there is alot of truth in this viewpoint (above). "We The People" vote politicians into office based on their good word and promises. They go to D.C. and serve whoever and whatever they are loyal to; IT SURE AS HELL IS NOT THE CONSTITUTION, BILL OF RIGHTS AND "WE THE PEOPLE."

The "public service philosophy" of the majority of our current day "public servants" is very obvious. It can be summed up in these these ten words:
"F*** YOU, WE'RE THE GOVERNMENT. WE'LL DO WHATEVER WE WANT.

If anyone disagrees, pull your head out of the sand and take a look at the Supreme Court's latest edict allowing city or county government to seize your property for whatever reason they decide to.

In my non-expert humble opinion, a police state government is much more likely than a "collapse" followed by anarchy. Government, the media, any and all schools, colleges, universities, the vast majority of "experts" in all fields and the majority of churches have for decades been programming the American people to blindly SUBMIT, CONFORM and OBEY. Of course, those who won't submit, conform and obey will have to be... "Dealt with."

Unless the American people wake up, pull their heads out of their asses and stop living like spoiled children who value nothing more than instant gratification, money, possessions and power, America will some day go the way of the British empire.

The biggest threat to our freedom, our way of life and our survival as a nation is not Communist China, heroin, cocaine, Al Queda, the Taliban or the United Nations. The biggest threat comes from OUR OWN "LEADERS" in Washington, plain and simple.

Our own "Leaders" hollow out our military, leave our nation vulnerable to attack, gut our Bill of Rights, trample our Constitution. They pass laws giving themselves the power to snatch any one of us off the street, imprision us with no probable cause, deny us due process, refuse us out RIGHT to legal counsel, isolate us from our families, hold us without pressing charges, deny us our RIGHT to a trial by a jury of our peers and imprision us indefinitely.
The machinery for a police state totaltarian dictatorship is in place.

With a weakened military, a gutless and cowardly majority of the population and "leadership" that is by and large corrupt and unprincipled, America is well on the road to becoming a "soft" (or not so soft) police state with "leaders" who will not serve the people but will submit our nation and people to the rule of "global interests."

When that is accomplished, America will become a second rate nation with a people who enjoy "FREEDOM IN CHAINS," as James Bovard called it.

As someone once said:
WE ARE FREE BECAUSE THE FOUNDERS FOUGHT FOR FREEDOM.
WE WILL REMAIN FREE AS LONG AS WE ARE WILLING TO FIGHT FOR FREEDOM. WE WILL LOSE OUR FREEDOM WHEN WE ARE NO LONGER WILLING TO FIGHT FOR IT.

In 2005, we are faced with the same choices The Founders were faced with in 1775. We can still make the decision to be a free nation; it is not an easy choice, but if we don't decide, others will make the decision for us.
