A poll confirmed yet again that a majority of voters now view the perpetually expanding federal Leviathan as a threat to those rights and individual liberty.Poll: Most Americans View Feds as Threat to Liberty
The Rasmussen Reports national survey, released on April 18, also shows that trust in federal authorities is plunging fast. More than two thirds of voters, for example, said they view the federal government as a special interest group primarily concerned with protecting its own interests. Only 17 percent did not.

>Then, why do they keep electing Marxist/Communist bums, such as Obumbo, Paluzi, and dingy Harry?
Maybe we don’t — have you never thought that corruption might be so endemic that your vote literally doesn’t matter?
Quite right — we'd still have all the problems we currently have if Mitt Magic Underwear
Romney would've won.
(There's absolutely no reason to think that the opposition
party would hold his feet to the fire
when they can't be bothered to do that for the other team's
guy.)
An unfortunate side effect of freedom is that one is free to enslave one’s self for whatever reason.
