I am afraid of Today's America (enemies, healthcare, radical, conspiracy)

I am afraid…
• That my family is in denial about the very real threat to democracy our nation faces.
• That my mother thinks we should remain silent.
• That my brother believes people who oppose the Healthcare Bill are selfish, heartless people who take pleasure in the suffering of others.
• That my friends think that people who warn them about the dangers facing us are paranoid fanatics, afraid that the proverbial sky is falling.
• That my church refuses to speak out against the Fairness Doctrine.
• That my government wants to take over every facet of my life, and assume complete control of it.
• That my nieces are being indoctrinated to believe that Capitalism is evil, and that hard work, creativity and ingenuity are not necessary to achieve success.
• That the GOP has swung so far left, they don’t understand what their base is protesting.
• That the apocalypse that my grandfather predicted, the one I laughed about, is looming in the horizon.
• That the freedoms guaranteed in the Bill of Rights are being systematically revoked but it is happening so subtly and behind the scenes, the public doesn’t even know they should be alarmed.
• That the Healthcare Bill just passed in the House – and that half of our nation is still focused on shopping, partying and trying to ignore the facts.
But know this – I am not afraid
• Of being ostracized.
• Of being arrested.
• Of being thrown in jail.
• Of water-boarding
• Of death.
I promise you -
• I will not be intimidated into silence
• I will not be coerced into indifference
• I will not stand idly by while the radical left destroys this nation that I love so much.
• I will guard liberty from enemies both foreign and domestic
• I will raise my children to love this nation, respect the constitution and defend justice for all.

You act as if the government takes similar action to that of the Chinese government.

Not yet, but they're well on their way down the road of the Communist Manifesto. Read it sometime and you'll see it's the Democratic Party playbook.

I think you sound very scared. Careful, this might make you sick!

It makes me determined.

More doomsday conspiracy theorists.

My favorite of your rant: "That the apocalypse that my grandfather predicted, the one I laughed about, is looming in the horizon." It will be there when you and I both are dead and will still loom when both our grand children are dead. Perhaps the horizon is 2012?
