We are losing our liberties.

Our nation has become perverse in political rhetoric that threatens our very lives. Intolerance is very apparent. 

The USA has some of the most wonderful young minds in the world and yet we don't appreciate their abilities to be sure they are employed.

Taking liberty with the national security of the USA while pumping up the dividends of Wall Street is nothing anyone bargained for. I cannot believe Security Clearance is done by an independent insurance company. Who was the genius that came up with this one? Oh, wait. Let me guess. The privatized government President, Bush. The man that gave us the bloated national security machine.

Federal investigators have told lawmakers they have evidence that USIS, (click here) the contractor that screened Edward Snowden for his top-secret clearance, repeatedly misled the government about the thoroughness of its background checks, according to people familiar with the matter.

The alleged transgressions are so serious that a federal watchdog indicated he plans to recommend that the Office of Personnel Management, which oversees most background checks, end ties with USIS unless it can show it is performing responsibly, the people said....

USIS is the leader in providing background investigations to the federal government. (click here) With our highly experienced team of investigators, we mitigate risk with accurate in-depth investigations in a range of areas, including federal security clearance investigations, Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO), site investigations, and fraud waste and abuse investigations.

USIS, Inc. provides third party administration (click here) and managed care services for workers' compensation and liability claims. It offers administration services, such as workers' compensation claims administration, medical management and certified managed care programs, cost containment/medical bill auditing and review, claim-reporting procedures, third party recoveries, liability claims, information systems, and risk management services. The company also provides claim information combining with online statistical claims data, reports, and file documentation. It offers its services to commercial carriers, self insurance funds, and risk pools and trusts, as well as self insured employers in the private and public sectors. The company was founded in 1982 and is based in Orlando, Florida. USIS, Inc. operates as a subsidiary of Brown & Brown Inc.

Oh, you mean this Brown and Brown, Inc.?

"We sell...to several thousand independent agents throughout the United States." (click here)  "Our renewals are very high..."  I bet.

I am curious where these companies put their political contributions.

There are soon to be more guns in the USA than people. For every person dead from gun violence there are that many less children born. Isn't that the value system on the Right? Babies. Yes?

Why is a dead person in Chicago less valuable to our national shame than those massacred at Sandy Hook?  Because these deaths are often the result of handguns. Handguns have a special status that should not concern us when they fall into the wrong hands? Guns have become such a prevalence in some areas of the USA, young people shoot and ask questions later. "Better them than me."

My father was a Korean Veteran. He once stated to me, "The day fear keeps you locked in your house for your safety, is the day America has lost her liberties to us." He was an appointee to the local zoning board. He wanted his neighborhoods safe for children, including his own. At one point the town formulated a "Special Police Force" of those in town with skills to serve when police were able to or over qualified to act as a security force. In those days there was no ADT or any thought of it.

In the year 2013, women are viewed as objects of control. Behavior, sexuality, work and play, basically oppressed from sincere self-expression and self-determination. There is a huge divide between how women are viewed in their sexuality as opposed to men. "The man cave" as opposed to women living in burden of all responsibility for family. The idea of a 'Man Cave' is separation of powers and places. It carries over to social norm.

I think this legislator has it right. If women are to be treated by government standards to control child bearing, then every standard for men should be to the same end result.

COLUMBUS – Before getting a prescription for Viagra (click here) or other erectile dysfunction drugs, men would have to see a sex therapist, receive a cardiac stress test and get a notarized affidavit signed by a sexual partner affirming impotency, if state Sen. Nina Turner has her way.
The Cleveland Democrat introduced Senate Bill 307 this week....

An erection is only for making babies. Isn't it? 

The society of the USA has been so manipulated by political paradigms it does not even know what sincere freedom is anymore. 

Wireless devices, invasion of privacy, guns on the street, food that kills with the taste of kindness, impoverishment, illiteracy, educational cuts in spending and extreme militarization in a world where the USA is out ranked in spending than all major militarized countries together. Children that die when they should be practicing for a school recital. Young people identifying with violence rather than a purpose in a community of many unrecognized heroes. People without homes and homes without people. People without citizen status, but with a job and little pay to show for it. Young people educated and invested into by the USA only to be sent out of our borders and never to seen of or heard from again. Justices that ridicule the vital vote without understanding who they are oppressing in their high minded decisions. 

There is a lot wrong with the USA and it is high time we decided to take back the liberties we have lost. 

Power. Not decency. Not conscience, but, power oppresses still today. I've had enough of it.
