This is bad, but I can say that we've allowed this to happen. With the influx of immigrants, breakdown of our constitution, and like you all said, the fact the people are scared, lazy and just want to be comforted.
Everytime there is an additional immigrant into the US, there is another person without the history and "patriotic gene", if you will. This, coupled amongst the ultra-liberal democracy we live in, has brought us to this point.
My fear is that this cannot be reversed, and as years pass, the future generations will not understand the importance of the Constitution and Bill Of Rights, nor will they be capable of grasping the ramifications upon its disappearance.
This un-clear and often misunderstood course of action is slowly and methodically removing our civil liberties, and this is what the constitution was written for, to protect the people from the government.
Anti-Gov phobia? 200 years ago it would have been called anti-federalism!
The constitution was written PRIOR to the federal government, and they were "phobic" then.
The people now allowing free and willing removal of their rights are those of us either, not natural born citizens or are those happy to give up their freedoms for the governments "shelter and protection(??)".
The population of these people with these views are only increasing......
Since when the fuck do you see on television, while engaged in what now I consider a worldwar, the enemies homelander crying for the rights of the innocent civilians that may die? (We are in a fucking war, the enemy has to die, their government, and unfortunately....their people) [heavy]
Jesus Christ! How fucked up are things getting?
I'm done rambling my over emotional self today......not a day goes by a tear doesnt appear in my eye for what has happened and the people that were murdered.
