We've been lied to, our voices have been ignored and the very fabric of our Democracy, the Constitution has been savaged. As Ben Franklin stated,"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
We have ignored the warnings of our forefather's who in truth saw the very dangers we face today. Not from without as we have been lead to believe; but from within.
As Alexis de Tocqueville put it so plainly,"Of course the people dont want war...that is understood. But voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country."
When we look at the last 5 year, can we truely say that we have not been lead to this moment by the well planned strategy of fear and manipulation?
