You have citizens who don't understand how government works and they're kind of soured on it. All they do is criticize. They have no idea that they can make things happen.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
No one in government should ever think that the citizens they work for can't or won't scrutinize their actions.
There are an awful lot of people who despise government precisely because it opened the door for common citizenship for people of all races and all natures in the United States.
Governments regard their own citizens as their main enemy, and they have to be - protect themselves. That's why you have state secret laws. Citizens are not supposed to know what their government is doing to them.
I don't like the idea that the government has so much of a say in things.
Most Americans aren't the sort of citizens the Founding Fathers expected; they are contented serfs. Far from being active critics of government, they assume that its might makes it right.
Without the ability to talk about government power, there's no way for citizens to make sure this power isn't being misused.
People can voice their different points of view. We are also a country where there will be criticism.
People have a right to criticize.
I don't like government, it's just that simple.
They criticize me for harping on the obvious; if all the folks in the United States would do the few simple things they know they ought to do, most of our big problems would take care of themselves.
