U.S. slowly being cooked

Tue., March 3, 2015

If you place a frog in a pot of hot water, it will jump out. If that frog is put into cold water and slowly heated up, it will be cooked.

Does anyone see or care what is happening to this once-great country? We are slowly being cooked. We are no longer the land of the free. Never has any administration been so bent on destroying this country as we know it as this one is.

Members of Congress on both sides are too spineless to act. The latest is an attempt to regulate the Internet, which will lead to total control. Our freedoms are being eroded little by little. When we finally wake up, it will be too late. Does anyone care?
