I'll bet your right. decades of propoganda and government schooling have made for a meeker, more complacent populace.
But still the growing fear of the government overall is a good thing and might at some point lead to meaningful change. If not, it's going to collapse anyway.

Of course, they're called Republicans. Too bad they're only 25% of registered voters. Of course, that survey was taken a couple years ago so it's probably less now. So much for the "big tent"...maybe big circus tent.
