We are spied upon & watched; we are not free anymore

People in power abuse their power. We see it every day in every government. Our government seems to be getting to the point of passing admittedly socialist countries and still tries to convince us that we are free. We are not free anymore. We are watched like we are all criminals. We are spied on. We are told where we can and cannot peacefully protest. Our government is trying to take over every aspect of our lives and tries to convince us that it's good for us. That's what Hitler did and you know what he did when he got complete control. Our government, if left unchecked, will end up doing exactly what Hitler did if we allow them to take away our second amendment rights.

Non-veteran president should yield commander-in-chief role

Q: Do you support or oppose the statement, "Expand the military"?

A: Our president is presently reducing the size of our military by firing experienced military leaders. I am 100% for reducing waste in the military but I don't think firing military leaders or imprisoning them is the right route to take. I don't think anyone should be elected to the presidency and become the commander in chief without military experience. I think we need a constitutional amendment that says if someone is elected to the presidency and has no military experience, then the top ranking military officers of each branch of the military should be given the title of commander in chief of that military branch. A civilian cannot possibly do the right thing for our military or our country with no experience.
