Why Americans Don't Trust Our Government?

Our Founding Fathers were brilliant when they came up with the “Separations of Power” using the writings of Montesquieu. It allows three separate branches of power within the US Government with their own defined power to keep each other in check.  The Legislative, Executive, and Judicial branches of the United States government are kept distinct and unique to prevent abuse of power. This provides a check and balance system for our government to prevent a president from becoming a dictator and side stepping the other two branches. Unfortunately today, this is exactly what is happening.

The only time in the past that I have seen abuse of power as portrayed today was under President Nixon who until now was the closes any President has come to being a dictator; he was my most disliked president followed closely by President Carter. Nixon abused his powers but with a press willing to tell the truth back then and not cover for him, his abuse came to an end; today the media is not as noble.

Secretary of State John Kerry said that on 10 June 2013 the Obama administration would sign a controversial U.N. treaty on arms regulation, despite bipartisan resistance in Congress from members concerned it could lead to new gun control measures in the U.S. There was a vote in the Senate with the short brief saying: “To uphold Second Amendment rights and prevent the United States from entering into the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty.” It barely passed with a vote of 53 Yeas, 46 Nays, and 1 not present. What does this mean and why should you care? It means that 46 senators voted to give the UN the right to come on our soil, murder our people, take our guns, and take our freedoms. If one of your senators is in the Nay column you might want to replace the in the next election or if you can recall them now. They voted as follows:

The president is constantly trying to sidestep congress which in effects would make it a dictatorship; I ask; does he have the authority to? Here is the answer. The president is also trying to set up a plan to force people from the suburbs and country side to move into the cities? Watch the whole video. So is this constitutional and does this mean our freedom to live where we want is going to be taken away. No it is not constitution but why is this being covered by more media? I thought President Nixon was the closest to a dictator we would ever see but President Obama has proved me wrong and it does get worse.

Does Homeland Security and FEMA plan to kill 80% of US citizens? This isn’t something I or some nut case made up; this video is from our congress and it is scary. Listen carefully to what Representative John Haller says. I haven’t heard much about this, once again where is our media? When the head of the FBI was asked if a kill order authorizing US citizens to be killed only applied to over seas his response was even more frightening. He was not certain if they were not allowed to murder US citizens in the US. Wikipedia has a page on the Rex 84 plan, short for Readiness Exercise 1984. It was a classified "scenario and drill" developed by the United States federal government to suspend the United States Constitution, declare martial law. I use to trust my government and devoted over 30 years to it; I don’t trust it anymore and with their poll numbers I can tell you don’t either. We need to stop just putting people into office who want to make money from their position and put people into office who would give up everything for our country; I'm positive that is not Nancy Pelosi.
