Return to Decency???

It seems as if people have more pride to be American and are showing some faith in our Government. However, is this true faith in our Government or Blind Faith? Are we allowing our government to do whatever it wants to do because of the crisis at hand? How can people now put so much trust in government? It is great that people are putting their faith in America... however they should not fully put their faith in the government. Remember this country is great because of our principles and citizens...NOT BECAUSE OF OUR GOVERNMENT. Government is NEVER perfect and we should constantly keeping an eye on it and constantly finding ways to improve it. Show your pride in America, but not for America's Government... Be wary of potential attacks of not only our citizens, but of our personal freedom and civil liberties. What do you think about our government???
