With pro terrorism lawmakers, outrageous illegal immigrants demands for civil right, thousands of Non-government organizaton giving anti-democratic views, pro-abortion and same gender marriage which is anti-Christian moral values and other issues that is going on in the US, I feel that slowly but surely anti-democracy is invading the US policy makers and the Americans are now being 'brainwash' that these civil rights to illegal immigrants and continous terrorism should not be the problem of the US government. Am I the only one who is getting nervous of the inverted reasoning of people who are supposed to protect our democracy?

Excellent question! Check out Noam Chomsky..

Vietnam and Iraq wars had no declaration of war or a straight Congress vote. Gulf of Tonkin..

Manipulaiton of legal system. 8 federal prosecutors were fired (7 were "fired-up guys and straightshooters - Deputy Attorney General testimony before Congress). They were investigating and prosecuting members of government for corruption and voting fraud.

Many states do not have paper trail. Voting machine s were tampered with. This is real. It happened.

Iraq: there were still no post invasion plans eight weeks before invasion 2) the press never asked the should we go to war?

Only 30% of citizens vote, much harder to pull of voting fraud if it's 80%.

Voters are not informed. John Kerry would not pull the troops out. His foreign policy is the same as Bush's. George Bush's tax cuts: most people got $300, all the money went to the wealthiest 1%.

Journalist are under attack too. The agreement between journalists and their sources is "Give me the information, and I won't give you out." But the new rule of the first amemndemnt bar is that journalists must give their sources even if there is no reason for the request. Give your sources and lose your career, or go to jail. Several excellent US journalists are sitting in jail right now.

Government usualy attacks journalists in these terms: when you journalists publish leaks you put the public in danger. For example, when police was looking for the Washington sniper, a newspaper published the color and model of their van, that could have lead to a "blood bath." Bullshit! Yes there is a risk with publishing leaks. But, any process done in secrecy is bound to produce a bad result! Press is a nother branch of democracy that puts a check on the government.

Media ownership. For example, news channels aired "documentaries" about Vietnam Veterans Against Kerry or Howard Deans embarassing eehhaa moment so much; showed Bush on his ranch. Think how many times you saw Bush give somebody the middle finger on TV? It was aired once on Comedy Central and once on VH1. That's it.

BIG PROBLEM with abortion and gay marriage:
Bush, senators and representative who run on abortion and marriage have pro corporate, antidemocratic stance on most other issues. If you a genuinely pro-life, fine, but give free childcare and good schools too!

Antiterrorism is used to get very strong grip on government so that the current administration and it's financiers will control our government in the future.

This war on terror is really a war on democracy.

Obama is quietly persevering with the artwork of Bush. And the guy who follows Obama will proceed his artwork. So in case you think that the dems are cultivating a destiny communist state you need to have confidence that the repubs are besides. you're a blind mouse in case you think of any of that "Pledge to united statesa." stuff became genuine, in case you think of there is ANY distinction in the events, in case you think of republicans will repeal the wellbeing care reform and take actually billions of greenbacks far off from the coverage industry, in case you think of that something will replace or get extra perfect with a repub government. i assume some human beings ought to snatch the iron to be conscious of it will burn them...
