Well, here's what I think: Too many people still buy into the false right-left dichotomy. They do not realize yet that Democrats and Republicans are two sides of the same oppressive coin. The real 'Us vs. Them' isn't left vs. right at all, but Freedom vs. Tyranny, and both Democrats and Republicans stand on the side of tyranny. There is unfortunately only one way for the American people to get back control of our country from the government. Thomas Jefferson said it best: "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." And right now is hardly the time to spill blood, since it would be pointless. The government is too strong, the people too weak. They would just crush us. All we can do for now is to build increasing awareness among society as to the nature of our predicament, and the fact that our 'representatives' hardly represent us. Restoring the Constitution & Bill of Rights is not impossible, but first the American people have to gain the desire to do so. That desire is currently very weak. People care more about Snookie's latest antics and 'Dancing with the Stars' reruns than recapturing our country from an oppressive government. That has to change before there can be freedom again.
I should point out that there are in fact a scant few politicians on the side of freedom instead of tyranny. Ron Paul and Rand Paul are the two most noteworthy examples. Journalists John Stossel and Judge Andrew Napolitano are on our side as well. We need many more people like these before the country can be free.
