“Let me see your papers!” More and more Americans are feeling fearful of our government
By Kevin “Coach” Collins
Those of us who grew up in the 1960’s remember old black and white movies made during World War II. We remember the ones about the Nazis usually had a sneering jerk in a black uniform and monocle confronting a “suspicious” civilian with the demand, “Let me see your papers!” Seventy years later, we thought all of that was left behind, but according to a new Wenzel Strategies report, a growing number of Americans are becoming fearful American citizens might soon be challenged with this same chilling demand.
Very chilling stuff
Wenzel Strategies spoke to 823 likely voters over the weekend of December 18 to 21 and established a margin of error of 3.4%. The timing of this survey makes its results still more significant for two clear reasons: first the nearness to Christmas should have people’s spirits high and hopeful; and second weekend polls usually reach more Democrats than Republicans. If this was the case and a number of Democrats have come to this conclusion it adds extra weight to the importance of this finding.
This is the type of news that makes your stomach tighten because it is both overwhelmingly un-American for such a thing to happen here in the land of the free and the home of the brave, and a little voice tells you the 36% of Americans who feel this way might just be correct in their fear of Obama’s Administration.
Wenzel also observed that Republicans “get it.” At a rate of 73% Republicans now agree that “Our freedoms are decreasing under Barack Obama’s presidency.” This is a sharp increase from the 61% that felt this way just last month. Among Independents the month to month increase of fear of government jumped 7%.
Never in our lifetime have things been this scary
Overall almost 20% of Americans feel they are “not at all free” to speak freely and an alarming 14% have “great fear” of government retribution and/or investigation because they failed to watch their choice of words.
We’re in real trouble friends, but if we stand and fight we can make things right again. It’s up to each of us. Will you turn away and pretend nothing is wrong? Will you listen to the inner voice that tells you America has been perverted by gangsters who want to destroy us?
Stand and fight now or wake up a slave later.
Yesterday’s Rasmussen Presidential Index has Obama at -16.
