And the "change" creeps ever closer on and on! I feel the pain for those who did the right thing and held to the hard road. only to find themselves targeted. They failed only to the extent they are not a part of the great dole. With ammunition in apparent shortage all around the USofA I can only believe some of these people are clinging and I hope that is not in preparation! I suspect the tense and deeply negative attitude of the 60s will be re-born, only this time it won't be people calling for social equality (which was fine!) nor burning their own neighborhoods down and stoning the fire and police departments! It will be people fervently defending what they think they've worked hard their whole lives for. I see repeats of Ruby Ridge and Waco type activites. Kind of scary.

Ma'am;... If you think that Acorn is actually guilty of all you have accused them of, why not forget sleep until you have made it a legal issue??? Surely there must be some sympathetic prosecuting attorney who can indict a ham sandwich under the RICO statute... They are organized...They are criminal... And they cross state lines... Maybe they all belong in a Federal Pen... So why are you not making an issue of it??? Are there no more Ken Stars willing to spend hundreds of millions of public dollars on a few drops of embarrassment??? Isn't the Supreme Court still conservative???Since you see this crime, is it not your duty as a citizen to fight it at least until you crack a finger nail???I don't see it; so I am under no obligation....Make me see it, so I must help you... Words are cheap, but evidence is dear... Lay out your evidence, names, dates, facts, proof... We grow so used to insinuations, and to accusation with little merit... We hear so much of baseless slander that we become immune to it... And we should not; but we should turn on people, and call them to account...We should make them put up, or shut up, seeing that an acorn's peace is as valuable to him as his liberty.... So, where is your evidence to the charges you have made, and why have you not brought this issue to the attention of the government...I am not expecting you to shut up... God never made cell phones to make women shut up; so why should I seek what God denies???... I only wish you would consider your obligation to your fellow citizens to take up the hew and cry, and to run any criminal to earth...If they are guilty, then don't give them a moments rest; but prove it, and do not settle for saying it without proof... As your first republican president noted, to say what you do not know true is as good as a lie... Show what you know... Thanks...Sweeney

Re: bill s;... Sir according to our founding document, the Declaration of Independence; revolution is legal... But as much as it may become necessary to defend the revolution once you have made it, that is the first step, and violence is the last step... I do not agree with the right; but I want revolution...Clearly the government does not work for either end... So what shall we do; because the left may have a better set of ideas, but the right has more guns, and the desire to use them??? Let us consider, that when it is all said and done, that we may still have to live here, and it is better to live here as friends...We cannot divide, and not end as enemies, so we should not divide at all... If one side tries to eliminate their minorities they would find they are too well related to not suffer their pains... So why don't we work on a new constitution that will maximize the freedom of people, and minimize the burden or law and services and taxation???  It is not the job of government to support immorality, though it may be the job of government to protect the rights of the immoral... I don't know; but if we are too scandalized to be together, then we should be no more together than we can bear scandal to do so... What  I mean is: Government has long ruled us all by dividing us...Properly; government ought to be the place where we work out our differences, and should not be where differences are denied until they grow too obnoxious to deny...Clearly govenment is not uniting us by working out our differences, but playing our differences against us so it is free to serve itself... I think it is time for a new government; but that is the first step, so we all have something we can defend... I do not think our differences are so great as the Rushes, and Malkins of this world would make them....But unless we agree to meet, and to contrive a solution to our differences, we will never be free of devious government...As far as I can tell there is no law in this land against peaceful revolution...Instead, If we accept the words of Jefferson, it often becomes necessary in the course of human affairs...Before you think of shooting us, fear not to parley... We honestly have more in common than in antagonism... I am certain we will make better friends than enemies... Thanks...Sweeney

Welcome, welcome to the socialization of America. I've been telling anyone who would listen for almost a year that we are on our way to becoming Venezuela to the 5th power. America, when this ridiculously incompetent president and his cohorts in the criminal congress get through with it, will be the worlds largest bananna republic. The bloated government payroll will choke off the private payroll while the government with its scams such as global warming, carbon credits, "green" regulations, union benefits, government "free" health care, etc. will buy enough votes for the liberals to remain in power until the dismantling of America is completed. When all of this is done, this will no longer be the bastion of freedom that millions of people sought out for a century and a half, rather, it will be a venal, run down, shambles like all of the other countries that have gone down the socialist road. I feel great sadness for my children and grandchildren. Their lot will not be a happy one.
