I lost most of my faith in my government when it went to war illegally.

I lost all faith in my country when it let the government bail out the banks and let its citizens go homeless. Then refuses to help each other.

In the USA it is not just the government that has turned evil. Most of its people have turned into selfish uncaring ignorant consumers that care for no one but themselves.

I have faith in government. Government is a tool, it is a mechanism, it is a method by which the people can organise society and resources to achieve things together which no individual could do alone.

What I do not have faith in is mankind's ability to see beyond themselves and plan for the future.

Our government is corrupt and self-centered because WE are corrupt and self-centered.

I have lost faith in my Government and I live in Canada. I also have no faith in powerful private industry lobbyists. corporations and blackmailers that want to stomp out Governments through inside corruption in order to privatize everything under the sun. Prime Minister Stephen Harper is a Zionist shill who is trying to make it an official crime under law to criticize government policies in Israel. He is also willing to back up the US and Western Powers in their illegal declarations of war against foreign countries.


The extent of Harper's misuse of power becomes clearer when you realize that the Conservatives are replicating some of the worst practices of the Republicans under George W. Bush and Dick Cheney:

Consolidating executive power; eviscerating the legislative branch; operating under extreme secrecy (by keeping an iron grip on information, through endless court challenges and censoring/redacting documents); riding the coattails of the military and questioning the patriotism of political opponents; and forcing out public servants who refused to fall in line.

The Canadian Arab Federation lost funding after its chair attacked Ottawa's pro-Israeli policies. Now the same fate has befallen KAIROS, a Christian aid group, for "taking a leadership role in the boycott, divestment and sanctions campaign" against Israel, boasts Immigration Minister Jason Kenney, the designated Tory bulldog in charge of attacking real or perceived enemies.Text

I have faith in the process.
I have faith in the Constitution.

I don't have faith in the people.

I'm an American (Texas), and I have no faith or trust in our government. From the president, right down to the local police. They are supposed to be public servants, but they act as if they are the sovereign, and we should bow down to their "authority". It's all been turned inside-out and back-asswards. The death of our nation as we once knew it is now within sight. We should all get prepared for all-out tyranny. It's coming....faster and faster now. =(
