Gallup Poll: Under Barack Obama Presidency Americans’ Belief That Government Is Too Powerful Rises to a Record Level

Government tyranny at an all time high under Obama presidency …

A recent Gallup poll shows that 60% of Americans believe the US federal government has far too much power. The United States has become a regulation nation where too much power is coming out of Washington, DC from all branches of government against the will of the people and the US Constitution. The American people are getting fed up. We need to look no further than Obamacare that was forced down the throats of all Americans by one party rule and than unconscionably declared constitutional for the SCOTUS.We can also see the all too much power evident at the IRS, where a government agency is allowed to target groups for their political beliefs and basically get away with it in a cover up. Or the NSA that is allowed to attain information on people whether they have committed a crime or not. Or what about the government “gun” walking program with ‘Fast & Furious’ or the ongoing government cover-up with Benghazi-gate?

According to the Gallup poll, 81% of Republicans think the feds have too much power, 65% of Independents and 38% of Democrats. It would appear that Democrats became perfectly ok with the power of the federal government once Obama took office.

However, I have to ask the same question posed by the PJ Tatler … How does an electorate keep voting for the same government that they deem too powerful? If so many Republicans feel that they despise the size of government has gotten under Obama, then vote out some of your more progressive, establishment GOP candidates as well. The way to lessen the power of government is to start by taking back your own party.  A note to all America, take your country back … they are supposed to work for us!

Six in 10 Americans (60%) believe the federal government has too much power, one percentage point above the previous high recorded in September 2010. At least half of Americans since 2005 have said the government has too much power. Thirty-two percent now say the government has the right amount of power. Few say it has too little power.

This new high encompasses Republicans (81%), who are now more likely than at any time since 2002 to say the government has too much power, and Democrats (38%), who now are more likely to say this than at any time since President Barack Obama took office in 2009.

Republicans, Democrats, and independents have each grown more likely to say government is too powerful this year. However, Republicans’ and Democrats’ views have generally become more polarized since Obama took office. In 2002, the two parties were about equally likely to view the federal government as too powerful, at 36% and 35%, respectively, with independents, at 45%, most likely to say this.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME … Virginia Beach 7th Grade Student Suspended from School for Firing Toy Gun Near Bus Stop on His Own Property

WTF, So now private property means nothing in the United States … ZERO TOLERANCE, MORE LIKE ZERO COMMON SENSE!!!

A 7th grade boy and two of his friends in Virgina Beach VA have been suspended from school and could be expelled for the rest of the year because of shooting a toy gun. But this story gets better, or worse as the case may be. The children were suspended for possession, handling and use of a firearm. However, the children were playing with the “TOY” guns on private property, not school grounds, not on a school bus or not at the bus stop.  How on earth can a child be suspended from a school when playing on their own “PRIVATE” property? The school gas ZERO jurisdiction as to what one does on their own property. WHAT HAS THIS COUNTRY COME TO? Oh, and by the way, how can a child be suspended for handling and possession of a firearm, WHEN IT WAS A TOY!!!

The incident brings into play the notion of “Zero Tolerance”. However, I would dare say this incident has “ZERO” common sense. The day a school is allowed to suspend a child for playing with something legal on their own private property is the day we might as well burn the US Constitution and the Declaration of Independence and declare our self a military state.

Watch the video of news story HERE.

A suspended seventh grade Virginia Beach student will find out soon if he is expelled for the rest of the year for shooting an airsoft gun.

Like thousands of others in Hampton Roads, Khalid Caraballo plays with airsoft guns. Caraballo and his friend Aidan were suspended because they shot two other friends who were with them while playing with the guns as they waited for the school bus.

The two seventh graders say they never went to the bus stop; they fired the airsoft guns while on Caraballo’s private property.

Aidan’s father, Tim Clark, told WAVY.com what happened next lacks commons sense. The children were suspended for possession, handling and use of a firearm.

Khalid’s mother, Solangel Caraballo, thinks it is ridiculous the Virginia Beach City Public School System suspended her 13-year-old son and Aidan because they were firing a spring-driven airsoft gun on the Caraballo’s posted private property.  “My son is my private property.  He does not become the school’s property until he goes to the bus stop, gets on the bus, and goes to school.”

The bus stop in question is 70 yards from the Caraballo’s front yard.

Why would anyone want to ruin a child’s life over something so stupid? Suspend a child and possible expulsion over this? Thank God I am not a kid in today’s society for my daily playing of Army with with friends back in the day would have put me at the top of the list on the Post Office wall of the “Most Wanted”.
