When do you suppose people will wake up to realize that their constitution has been effectively abolished and do something about it? When will the (hopefully) bloodless 2nd American revolution happen? Do you think anyone cares about real freedom anymore or is it just a pretty word that they talk about? Do we really believe it is necessary to make sacrifices for freedom or is that just part of the ceremony on Veterans day? Are Americans worthy of their constitution or have they become too complacent and willing to accomodate themselves to any government outrage as long as their creature comforts are preserved?
