Thanks for the ping.

Since the bailout under Bush, the subsequent election of Obama and the nightmare we find ourselves in, I find myself entertaining thoughts that 3 or 4 years ago would have been utterly foreign. I’ve never “trusted” my government- but I’ve rarely been alarmed or frightened by it either. I’ve made certain assumptions about the inherent corruption of government and assumed it would always be thus- on the right and the left.

Now I’m observing unimaginable breakdown of the constitution, of liberty and freedom. It isn’t a joke anymore- it seems we really ARE living in the twilight zone.

Then I watch the manipulation of thought being carried out daily by the press- such as the reactions to the three “political” murders we’ve seen in the last few weeks. Somehow black is white, purple is green and on second thought- there’s no color at all- it’s morphing into the famous gray of collectivism.

Any thoughts or plans about the future- my own personal future and the future of our country I now find are under constant re-evalution, there is no constant underpinning that can be counted on, no foundation to trust.

I wonder- is this how it’s always been when a formerly free people have begun to witness the signs of tyranny? Did they ask these questions we ask? Did they fear for their safety and future? Did they dismiss their doubts, thinking they must be exaggerating?
