It seems that more and more Americans are becoming fed up with their government, as the approval ratings for both Congress and the President hover near record lows. This can be attested to by the increasing numbers of people who have come out in support of Ron Paul. The 2012 Presidential elections may give us a clearer picture as to how many of disgruntled voters there really are, but will they tell the whole picture? Will they be voters who are simply disgusted by the constant bickering and gridlock between the two parties; will they be people who want a return to a more responsible and limited government as outlined by our Constitution; or will they be people who have finally come to understand that there is something else going on besides incompetence and partisan rivalry?

The first question I want to ask the president and all the members of congress is why did you hate the way America was? The saying goes ‘love it or leave it’. Why are you still living here? Why did you tell us you wanted to serve and represent your fellow citizens, then turn your back on us and our country?

We did not plan or carry out the attacks on America on Sept. 11th 2001, but you have treated us like we did. You’ve sent our valiant soldiers to the other side of the world to avenge 9/11 and stop another attack, but have stood silently by while there was an invasion of the U.S. at our southern border. Why have you failed to protect us from that?

From the Founders to the Falsifiers…From the Enlightenment to Entitlement…From Rugged Individualism to Dependency…From Polite Society to Pop Culture…From Rule of Law back to the Dark Ages…From Freedom to Tyranny…From Sovereign Nation to Amorphous Polyglot …From Prosperity to Poverty.

Most of the history of this world is littered with pain, suffering, and despair. Only in rare brief periods of time did any sort of logic & rationality influence the tenor of daily life. When it did, the common people could live in relative peace & prosper.

Someone ought to let mainstream news producers know that the nearly 4,500 US soldiers killed in the Iraq war were not the only victims. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqis have also been killed as a result of the unwarranted US invasion, and many more have been wounded and/or forever maimed.

Chances are, all of these Iraq war victims would still be alive today were it not for former President George Bush and his band of neoconservatives. Demonstrating a bizarre mix of evangelical ambition, cowboy bravado and the pathological desire to ‘keep Israel secure’, Iraq was destroyed over and over again.

Some of you are probably already asking if the title of this article is some kind of a joke, or a trick question. It isn’t, I honestly want to know if you think that there might be times when breaking the law is justified. However, before you give me your answer I’d like for you to put aside your emotions, your loyalty to whatever political party you belong to, and just THINK about the facts I am about to present to you. Can you do that for me, just this once?

To be able to answer the question I pose to you properly, you must first understand what a law is, who has the authority to enact laws, and under what authority do THEY act, and for what purpose are laws enacted? You cannot answer the question without first giving these subjects proper consideration as well.
