Just a thought---could it be possible that the pride so many Americans feel for their country and the dignity they live their lives with, abiding by the Constitution that the founders of our nation brilliantly designed, have overlooked the chance that perhaps at some point those who are governed may eventually simply find their way and discover government to be nothing more than an obstacle to the freedom they were guaranteed? And is it possible that the reason our current government is such an obstacle placed in front of everything America stands for a result of its people largely no longer needing them in the capacity they once had? 

Our federal government has grown bitter over the years as Americans have needed it less and less. And, considering that the federal government draws its strength from making people dependent upon it, it has done everything in its power to increase that deceitful sense of dependency. Who, then, is the federal government's greatest domestic enemy? 

Anyone who succeeds. Anyone who achieves their dreams. Anyone who did anything without the help of the federal government is the federal government's enemy. 

Barack Obama has made that abundantly clear. His comment in Virginia about "...you started a business? you didn't build that...someone else did...", or however it was he worded the unclear message---that is our president pitting those who made better use of the roads and bridges he is describing against others who made less use of them. And the advantage he has in pissing off every small business owner in America, as opposed to all others, is that there is one small business owner for every one or two hundred potentially disgruntled voters in America who do not own a business. 

He doesn't care about the red, white, and blue blood, sweat, and tears that went into the businesses that driven individuals established and then made into thriving businesses employing tens, and then hundreds, and then thousands, business by business. They are a small minority on the voting block and so they are disposable. For every business owner he loses a vote from he is going to gain 200 aimlessly, uninformed votes. That is Barack Obama's America.
