I have long said that the freedoms we, as Americans, enjoy are going to be our downfall; the thing that chokes the life out of this nation. When people are allowed to do anything they want, unrestricted, without being held accountable, America, yea any society, loses. Look at the Roman Empire. We are repeating history and we will suffer the same consequences.

The ones who would destroy us know they can manipulate the legal and societal structures and then use "our" civil freedoms and rights to gain those rights for "themselves" in order to use them against us. That is what is happening now. And our government is facilitating it, allowing it, protecting "their" rights to freedom. That is insane when we know what they want............destruction, annihilation of Israel and America.

Can the high ranking government officials who allow this be arrested and tried for treason? The should be if they continue to allow this to happen.
