That is true. Nor could they fathom a government so tentacled and becoming so corrupted and influenced by lobbyists, media, nations outside of our own. I think the vast majority of them would be ashamed of the government we have today.
I do believe though that the battle between people believing in the people and wanting more freedom and those wanting to take freedoms to feel "safe" has been a battle in our country since day 1.
I find it somewhat hypocritical and odd that the same people accusing our country of torture, among conspiracy theories, grabs for power and demanding we end the war are usually the same people arguing that we need gun control and that citizens should not be legally armed in any way.
I still have yet to hear 1 good argument on how we, the people, will maintain the rights we enjoy without the threat of an armed populace.
