I am believing that every damn one of us deserve to lose our freedom. We are allowing the Obama administration to violate every right we have. There is no anger or outrage. Sometimes I wonder what we are all waiting for.

In fact, that is a good question. What are we waiting for? What do they have to do to get us riled enough to do something about it?

They are going full bore because they sense that we are not going to do much about anything they do to us. They are going to take your guns. Then it will be too late.

Some agree with you.

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.

Excellent question: I think we're living in the tale of the Emperor's New clothes where nobody wants to say the obvious truth.
I think much of this is due to indoctrination by the schools: those in authority deserve to be in authority because if they were unfit for it they would not be in that position, but they are in that position so any question of their authority is, obviously, incorrect.

This is also evident in how the Several States are rolling over for every assumed authority that the FedGov declares it has. (See Wickard, Raich, Kelo, Affordable Care Act, Arizona's SB1070 — in addition to: Fast & Furious, IRS Targeting, NSA spying, and so forth.)

What is astounding is that Governors have a lot of power, and yet they refuse to act on it. Of 48 letters sent and [presumably 47, as one was NKA,] read I have received 4 replies, none of which indicate that the letter was really read by the Governor.
