UGH

I also published this lovely rant on my facebook page:) I am just so absolutely disgusted by what is going on here. I encourage all of you to educate yourselves on this issue!!

I am feeling the need to blow off some serious steam about how absolutely insane our government, nationally and locally, is becoming. Today, I learned about a report our lovely governor, Jay Nixon, released. It outlines certain activities, beliefs, etc that could make you a "terrorist threat" in the eyes of the government. One aspect of the report that particularly infuriated me was the flying of the "Don't Tread on Me" flag. For those of you who aren't familiar, this flag is flown on the ships of this country's naval fleet, and has appeared many times throughout our history. It is unfathomable for me to think that flying this flag outside my home, that I pay taxes on, would make me a target. Disgusting! If I wanted to live in a nanny state, I'd move to China, thanks. Is this not a blatant threat on my Constitutional right to freedom of speech? I see the political majority in this country throwing that phrase around a lot when it comes to the "rights" of convicted terrorists, illegal aliens, etc. I was born here and will always support my country and my president, but where have our rights gone? I dare you, Mr. Nixon, to call me a terrorist.
