Howdy.  
When we consider how many we are {those interested in protecting our rights}
and how many they are {those who could care less} we must consider also those
who vote in the freedom killers.  In the past 7+ years it's been obvious who
has made up the majority of the Voters.  I recall a time with an echo like
this one would have had dozens of "Brothers and Sisters" to choose from.  Now
there are 3?  {must give us pause I think}  With the decline of the 1rst and
2nd ammendments to where they are now, and the growing paranoia associated
with firearms, one really needs to ask, "Just who is winning this fight?" 
Recently I was in a discussion with a person who actually made the statememt,
"People don't kill people, guns kill people."  Talk about suspension of
intelligent thought!!!!!  
Finally, you say we don't know if ignorance and apathy will kill America???? 
Uh, I have to say, it's not looking too good right now.  As for listening to
the Liberals, just let me say that if we ignore our enemy he has more than
enough ammunition to destroy us, and we'll be the ones giving that ammo to
him.  Better to die fighting a good fight than to live in slavery.  IMHO.

Have a good day.
