Well said, Slag!! I think that people tend to forget, that our INALIENABLE RIGHTS, spoken of in our Constitution, are endowed to us, from 'our Creator'.....not by 'allowance' or metering out by the Federal Government, at their convenience, or willingness to control. Somehow, the so-called 'liberals' have abandoned that idea, and want EVERYTHING under the Central government's Big Brother control. This is NOT freedom!

That being said, if the Federal Government wants to 'control something, how about enforcing the laws and statutes, enacted to refrain corporations from the abuse on us citizens...and not granting favorable tax breaks to ship our manufacturing overseas...then raising our individual taxes to make up for it. This is entirely wrong!..and then they pay off both sides to look the other way!....but I think we have to come to grips with the fact, that on one side of the aisle we have 'globalists' and the other side 'socialists'. I'd like to see them have concern for American citizens instead!..as citizens, rather than votes, consumers, numbers, comrades, or obstacles for their ideologies, however failed, or ill conceived!

Is it coming to the point where the Central Federal Government is at odds with 'WE THE PEOPLE"..the true Constitutional government????...and, as seen by the last few years, both sides have been ruling AGAINST the will of the people! This SHOULD FINALLY be obvious, by this year's re-action, in the mid-term elections! However, it looks like jumping from the frying pan, into the fire, then back again! In any event, we're all out to get burnt!
