We have accomplished a lot over the last 200+ years, but yet we find ourselves fighting a similar kind of tyranny in our own gov't that they fought to free us from in the beginning.<br /><br />I admit I have been feeling a bit in despair lately over the state of things... We the People have spoken loudly, firmly, and in large numbers and yet the administration and Congress continue to willfully ignore us without even the pretense of listening or trying to respond to our concerns. This week's incident with the MSM networks actually defending the 1st amendment by siding with Fox News against the WH actually gives me some hope though... because the gov't is largely dependent on a complicit media to ignore what they're doing, not inform the people and not ask questions in order to achieve their goals. I wonder if Anita Dunn bragging about how they controlled the media actually woke them up and offended them enough to start doing some actual journalism for once. Yet to be seen, but if that happens it would certainly be a step in the right direction.danettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15555927841950877805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5170387624097977468.post-36414007873620833002009-10-22T00:33:50.554-04:002009-10-22T00:33:50.554-04:00Hi Mel,

It frightens me to no end!<br /><br />Between all the onslaughts against ANYONE who speaks up against what is wrong with government and in particular, this Administration, to Cap and Trade, not to mention this internet "neutrality" scheme, I would be a nervous wreck if it were not for Christ! It breaks my heart to see what our country is becoming, because I know what she was, and what she was intended to be.Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13894298965540935785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5170387624097977468.post-23749939239175382852009-10-20T20:24:02.691-04:002009-10-20T20:24:02.691-04:00I really appreciate it when parents cite the found...I really appreciate it when parents cite the founders and Mr. Paine in particular. Thank you. I'm a fifth-grade teacher in Colorado, and a crucial part of teaching civics is providing students with our primary sources: the founding documents. This is critical in understanding what “We the People” means. Today, like 230 years ago, those documents instill in students the belief that all voices are important. Every one of our citizens is needed to pursue liberty. Futures do not have to be inevitable and "Little voices" can make dramatic impacts on events. That is Paine's greatest contribution to our country. His pamphlet, Common Sense, spoke to all the voices in the 13 colonies during a time of great indecision. He gave a vast number of citizens a vision of what each could do, 176 days before the Declaration. A belief that power should radiate from the citizens. That message is still foundational for all our students today.Mark Wilenskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05697874804426982528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5170387624097977468.post-11263095357466455822009-10-19T19:10:04.891-04:002009-10-19T19:10:04.891-04:00So true.

The way our government is headed, one day we may have to pack up what we can and head for the hills! To some people, that may sound dramatic, but it is close to reality and some people are oblivious about it.
