What Happened To Our Government?

I know that you are getting tired of these posts, but lets face it, we don't know anything that is going on in our government. I was watching Fox News last night and they traveled to Florida on spring break and were asking college students simple questions about our government. You would be surprised at the answers! I don't know. I didn't know that. Who is he? I was embarresed. I can't believe that a person 20 years old doesn't know basically anything about our government. SAD! No wonder we are in the condition we are in. No one gives a hoot.
When I was a child growing up in Newport, KY. and going to Corpus Christi School a nun was reading something to us in class one day. It went something like this: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men and women created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness".
These words are from our Declaration of Independence and unfortunately, not from our Constitution. And from these principles, we Americans, lay claim to his or her own sovereignty just by being born, and that these rights don't come from any government or person.
I also learned, as a child, that we were in government of the people, by the people, and for the people. And most people expect that the government leaders we elect keep certain concepts in mind: there going to keep us safe, they will better help us manage our resources most efficiently. Not a chance.
Think about that for a while!
