I may be overstating it a bit, but I think too many Americans are letting our government get a bit too powerful, and many need things kind of overstated. I hope I am grossly overstating it.

As for your response being lighthearted, I did notice your smiley. I just take this extremely seriously. I believe it's our duty to preserve our independence. We have to stop this Communist/socialist nonsense. It doesn't work, and it will be our fault if freedom is eliminated.

Again, I hope I'm overstating things. Progressivism is an ugly problem.
