Reply #38: And "our" government is on the wrong side, again.

[Greyhound]

We have forgotten the very premises this nation was founded on. We are the government, its job is to represent us and its power is derived from our consent. Its first role is to promote/serve the overall general welfare and secure the rights of its citizens. That when the government ceases to serve these functions it is our right to replace it, that's replace, not simply change the names on the wall and continue along the same path.

The United States of America was a prototype, not the final product, but the selling of nationalism has replaced this concept of an imperfect work-in-progress that needs to be continuously improved, with the quasi-religious enshrinement of the original mistakes.

We are (supposed to be) the good guys, but we've allowed the parasites to bend our power to their selfish intent, and to our own detriment.
