Like it or not, America is changing. Some things we might not want changed are being changed anyway. The way we do business has been forever altered because of some unscrupulous, greedy, despots who run banks, Insurance companies, Investment firms, Unions, and manufacuting Corporations. Untold millions of tax payer dollars have been handed over to crooks, theves, and politicians with the intent to bolster the national economy. Most of those millions went into private pockets as outlandish bonuses for CEOs with no conscience. The Capitalist system of economics which brought us to the heights of success as a nation, victory in war, wealth for our citizens, and pride in ourselves, has been tainted by an undeserving few.
The disregard for honesty and integrity in business affairs as well as in politics has brought us to our knees as an economic powerhouse. The current Administration has demonstrated that there is no need to keep promises or hopeful predictions. The wisdom of our Founders, who wrote the Constitution, envisioned a nation of honorable men who would carry on the importance of Liberty and the values of Freedom, and who would fight to preserve the concept of God given "rights."
Under the guise of protecting our "security" we are now herded like sheep when we use public transportation. Our right to keep and bear arms is under attack because of the acts of a few lawless individuals. The freedom to speak our minds on issues is thwarted by the fear that someone may be offended, or we might not sound politically correct. The current Administration would like to silence its opposition on issues, so free speech is a target. The freedom to peacefully assemble is already under attack from left wing hoods.
We are being lied to, and escorted down the primrose path by our President and his crowd of cronies and czars. His Peace prize sets like a crown on his self important head. He is a danger to us all. His failure to come through on his promises is starting to wake people up to his inability to lead this nation. It will soon become obvious, even to his supporters, that he is a phony. Let us hope, and pray, that this man does not "change" us beyond repair.

Hi Tim,
I'm going to go with this one, because I didn't give you time to edit.
I'd like to see a specific example or two of free speech under attack (I know they're out there) and why not allowing free speech is a danger.
Generally, again, more about the policies and practices. The raid on the Treasury didn't start with Obama and it wont end when he's gone, unless we all pay more attention to what's going on. I don't have a problem referring to Obama and his policies when appropriate. I just don't want it to come across as if the bail outs were fine and dandy when Bush and Paulson were doing it.
You're right about the crooks and thieves, but they aren't partisan. They'll buy whoever looks like they're going to win.
