You are absolutely right. Our country was founded by radicals who believed that each citizen was equal and sovereign with God given unalienable rights that could not be taken away by the government, and to protect those rights they later created a Constitution which did not grant rights but rather insured them.
The problem is that since that shining moment, the greed and lust for power of man has led politicians and those who have come to control them to erode those rights to the point that we now have a mere illusion of the kind of democracy and freedoms envisioned and intended by our forefathers.
The shadow government and the rich elite have had this country in an iron grip for half a century now. The last freely elected President not in their control was John F. Kennedy, and he was promptly assassinated after he gave a speech condemning them and setting forth plans to take the Federal Reserve Bank back from being privately owned by international bankers.
This year, only Ron Paul and perhaps Kucinich, were not already controlled and pre-approved by the Bilderburg elitists. Each candidate and party may be able to operate somewhat different agendas, but it is all window dressing that is merely part of the charade being played against us. They ALL take their orders from those who they have sold their souls to in order to get there. And that includes McCain, Obama, Biden, and yes, Palin too.
If she were not firmly on board with those who would create a one world New World Order to ultimately own and enslave us all, she would not be there. Period. The same is true for most national elected politicians and most high level state ones as well. The vetting has long since taken place for them to get there and their strings are firmly attached to the puppet masters who control our industry, money, energy, medicine and media.
If people really want change, they need to stop focusing all of their attention on the dog and pony charade of democratic national elections that give us pre-approved candidates from only two parties which supposedly represent 300 million people and demand that all elected officials reject the rule of agencies and codes and their corporate UNITED STATES OF AMERICA INC color of law and admiralty courts and demand that each and every one of them return to adhering to the Constitution and returning all of the freedoms set forth in the Declaration of Independence. And demand the same of those they appoint and hire in all government agencies large and small.
Until we do that, we will continue losing our freedoms, our standards of living and our moral fiber and continue being led as blind sheeple to our own servitude. And the Ron Pauls of the future will be precious few and far between.
