its always about race with you leftie loons.. I wasn't making it about race, merely noting that in my lifetime, which was the time period in question, the vast majority of us had nothing to fear from our government as claimed in that video. (My statement would not have been completely accurate had I not excluded Blacks and I do try to be precise.) Nor was I making it about left or right. My memory isn't as agile as it once was but I can think of only one other period in my lifetime when there was a fear of the government. That was during the Vietnam war when young men were fearful of being drafted. There were certainly incidents now and then when some people were screwed by the government but they were on-off anomalies. So, what do you think she was talking about to be so intense and adamant about it? Have you been fearful? Can ANYBODY tell me about what we have had to fear in any of our lifetimes? didn't see the erosion of society the last 30+ years I think that society has had it's ups and downs here and there but nothing that was generated by government action. To the extent that people are fearful it's of violent criminals, not the government, and note that violent crime has had a significant and continuous downturn over the last 30-35 years. I'm asking you a serious question--what the hell?
