Not to support this, or any other administration, but the government has taken nothing from us that we have not willfully surrendered.

Our rights cannot be taken away... only given up. All that it takes for evil to prosper is for good men to do nothing. (Edmund Burke, paraphrased)

We have bent over and taken it up the wazoo at every turn, and all we do is whine about it. No offence meant, but truth is truth, myself included.
