Reply #45: Freedoms are disappearing under this administration [View All]

[ArmchairMeme]

A while ago someone on this site wrote a good piece about the contributions of the Democratic administrations as opposed to the Repulican administrations. The first clear difference was that wars were begun under the Repulicans and the diplomacy to avoid them was done under the Democrats. The economy faired far better for the general population under the Democrats than the Repuplicans. Just in the last two administrations - Democratic (Clinton) left the country with an economic surplus and Republican (Bush) quickly spent into a vast debt that will go on for generations.

Life was better under a Democratic administration, jobs, economy, foreign relations. Life under a Republican administration has been miserable again jobs, economy and foreign relations and the added fear of terra repeated often and with glee by the mainstream media. Living with continual fear becomes a lack of freedom.

Now our freedom to fly on an airplane has been again reduced to a far less pleasant experience at a higher cost. Why do we tolerate it? Seems like a good time for find a better way to handle it.

WHen I was reading about the "foiled" terror plot yesterday on the web and waiting to see just how it would unfold, when authorities knew about it (was it a year ago, a month ago or a week ago) were these people just wannabes are is there hard evidence, tools and explosives or just ideas.

I turned on the t.v. and WOW the glee that was coming from the announcers that terra terra terra was here and what YOU CAN'T DO today. They were just so excited about it. It went all afternoon. It was as though they had time to prepare the backdrops and video messages as they were ready for this. I felt myself agitated by just tuning in as though I had a flashback to 911 (they were successful again).

We are not safer under a Republican administration. We are consistently loosing freedoms on a regular basis each time a terra plot is disclosed to the country.
