    Are people, even Obama zombies, finally seeing through the smoke and mirrors?

    Majority Says the Federal Government Threatens Their Personal Rights:

    As Barack Obama begins his second term in office, trust in the federal government remains mired near a historic low, while frustration with government remains high. And for the first time, a majority of the public says that the federal government threatens their personal rights and freedoms.

    The latest national survey by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press, conducted Jan. 9-13 among 1,502 adults, finds that 53% think that the federal government threatens their own personal rights and freedoms while 43% disagree.

    More concerning to me are the attacks on "State" rights, which should be the only restraint on "Personal Rights", to begin with. IMO, Obamacare is a direct link to forcing individuals to do or not do, anything the current Federal Government wishes. I'll add diminishing the powers of Congress, especially the House, is a direct attack on the peoples rights. Said another way, if the people realized what's really happening, 95% would feel the FG has infringed on their rights.

    What actual rights have you ever had except to obey your masters? You think of yourselves as wolves, but you are actually mothers' boys, surely, brought up to pull your forelocks and say 'Yassuh!'

    No - like his American subjects he was nutty as a fruitcake, of course.
