Simply put, I do not believe that the current "administration", as they are often referred to, is moving in a direction I agree with or support. It seems to me, from my common-man point of view, that they have overstepped their bounds to get where they are and have used the heart-strings of Americans to piggy-back into favor.
Without 9/11, the invasion of Iraq would not have taken place for the reasons originally given, if at all. I am disappointed in the lying about WMD's and the crucial role they played in green-lighting this "war", given that there apparently never was such evidence, any evidence was "assumed", exaggerated, or flatly falsified. When I hear, "we have proof of x, y, and z" and no such "proof" is ever to be supported by fact, what else am I to think?
I also put distrust in any organization that seeks out to intentionally disregard fact or people's desire for, "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." The so-called "War on Drugs" has done NOTHING but pour literally billions of dollars- every year- down the drain. Nothing says "imminent threat to national security" like some people relaxing at home smoking pot and enjoying each other's company. Oh, what a horrible, horrible thing it is to allow someone to do what makes them happy, and has nothing to do with anyone else. I distrust a government that will not let it's people be happy, when doing so would harm no one and prove to be helpful in ways you can't count. This government perpetuates this farce, and that is another reason I have distrust in it.
Some say it is "easy" to distrust your government- if this is the case, then it seems it is equally without difficulty to put blind faith in them. I can't fathom saying that I trust them implicitly that they are "doing the right things". I just honestly can't see how anyone could say that.
