It was so hard to fathom that something like that could happen in America. I look at what is happening today. It is hard for me to compare those events at Kent State, with what is happening now, but I feel right now what is happening to America is in many ways so far worse than all the anti-war protests of that era. We hear all too often of terrorist attacks around the world, terrorist shootings in our own country. Attempted bombings, etc. The worst of it seems to be the nonchalant way that the current Obama Administration seems to be sugar-coating these events. Instead, Americans are being treated as the terrorist, and the terrorists are being given special rights. We are loosing so many things that American’s hold so dear. Our government has decided that they need to govern every aspect of our lives. Each day we seem to lose more and more of our freedoms. More and more corruption seems to surface in Governement on a daily basis.
We have all worked so hard to make a better life for our children, and I fear their lives will be spent digging themselves out of a hole of debt. Yes, again we are at war, but I myself think that with the memory of the 911 attacks, it is hard to say we should not be fighting the terrorists that seem to hate those that believe differently than they, so vehemently that they feel they have to kill us all.
So again, we are protesting in America. We are protesting for our rights and our freedoms. We are protesting the debt of our country, we protest the Government control and Government corruption. So far it seems our Government does not hear our voices. Come November, our voices will be heard, and with the correct people voted into office we will hopefully gain some of our freedom back, and begin to turn America back into – America the free.
