I'm afraid you're right. Like a cancer that devours our bodies one cell at a time, our country and our freedoms are being ever-so-slowly eaten away. By the time the general public (sheeple) finally wake up, it will be too late.
It reminds me of a story I heard long ago. A bricklayer took home one brick from work in his lunch bucket every day. The boss never missed them. When he decided to retire, he had enough bricks to build his dream home. Had he taken them all at once, he would have been discovered and fired.
Just like the bricks, our government is taking our freedoms away one day at a time so that no one will notice.
It saddens me so to see our founders spit upon by our new "leaders". There isn't but a small handful of our elected officials in this country that could hold a candle for the original freedom fighters like Washington, Jefferson, Madison et.al.
