I love this land hate the government. Gotta take the good with the bad I guess.
But I cannot understand why americans would rather live their lives wearing blinders
and ignore the many ways our government which is sworn to protect the rights guaranteed
by our Constitution and the Bill of Rights instead eliminates, modifies, or just plain tramples them whenever it suits the govts. agenda. I can provide countless examples of rights violations that are supported by every level of government that the average joe never even thinks to question. Ex . You have the right to own property. Home owners if you think you own your home think again every year your local govt. blackmails you. They call it property taxes and or schooltaxes... name one other thing that you purchase once but pay taxes on for as long as you own it. or for that matter has taxes based on what they feel the value of the property rather than what you paid or the actual sale value. Fail to pay the randsom to keep your home they take, it sell it, pocket the money, and if you still had a mortgage at the time leave you holding ther bag... Now did you really own your property or were you just renting it from the govt. ? (YOU still have to pay off what was left of the loan not them)

Do a little home work and you will find that all of your rights garanteed by the constitution and the bill of rights are only there if your benifiting from them suits the current regime's agenda (in short are severly limited if at all).

How many times has the right to peaceful assembly been crushed under the boots of the military machine because Uncle Sam didn't like what the protesters had to say?

None of this is anything new. In a nation founded on the principle that all men were created equal why were africans slaves, then second class citizens, and still not considered in the eyes of law makers as equal until nearly 200 years after the birth of this country.
Why were native americans sluaghtered and driven off of their land by the same govt. when as men they were equal and therefore entitled to the same rights as any other citizen born here?
