Mr. Williams, your article makes a point, however, the truth is that the so-called american has been dumbed-down by the government schools and that dumbing-down is maintained by the totally, controlled media. A combination of mental cowardice and selfish stupidity has even allegedly intelligent people making the statement that government should do something. None of the schools maintain a curriculum of government education. Hardly anyone knows or realizes that government is supposed to be limited and restricted by the supreme law of the land, the Constitution. Now that we have a muslim, communist, socialist in the white house that is an aka and a usurper - and the so-called americans elected him - the Republic is dead and as Ben Franklin responded, when asked what kind of government have you given us, "A Republic if you can keep it", and the Republic has been dead since the traitor, Lincoln violated the Constitution and created a war between the States. However, I have faith in my Creator and hopefully I will not have to suffer very long. Amen! d daxx
