My 80-year-old uncle called me last night and he was righteously
ranting about *, Rummy, Condi, and the mess the ME is in, the donut in the drug plan, Katrina survivors, poverty, state of education and the economy, and how much he hates *. He is really upset about the tone deaf, pigheaded, heavyhanded way this administration goes about "governing." I teased him a bit about Homeland Security might be listening. By then he was up there a few decibels and I hear thundering down the wires "Let them! This is America and I have the right to free speech! Even if I say that I could kill the SOB, they can't lay a hand on me unless I would do something! Let the SOBs listen to someone who has had enough!"

Had enough? Blame Republicans.

2. I blame Congress, SCOTUS, the WH and the MSM
because they're the one's who are (allegedly) in charge and/or reporting on those who are (allegedly) in charge.

There are plenty of Dems out there who have supported this non-sense, either directly or by omission, and they are just as much to blame. Every one of those in our 'elected' government are charged with, in part, safeguarding the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. These groups have shown nothing but contempt for said documents.

4. You are so right
The country is being run by people who, in large part, don't realize we have a set of top-level instructions for how things should be done.
