The Pew Research Center concluded that 27 percent of all registered voters describe the U.S. government as the “enemy” of the people. That percentage is thought to be lower than the overall average, as many non-voters are assumed to have an extremely negative or despondent view of the government as well. Lest you fall into the partisan trap of thinking that this is skewed by anti-Obama hatred on the right, 35% of Republicans say that they believe the federal government is the enemy, while 34% of Independents say the same thing. There are also 12% of Democrats who say that they would outrightly describe the government as the “enemy” of the people. Only half of Democrats had an overall favorable view of the government as the “friend” of the people. When we consider what the mainstream media sells us about partisan opinions on this matter, that is an extremely high rate of discontent and distrust of the government from the left. A full 75% of all registered voters acknowledges that the government is essentially “run by a few big interests” and not is not representative of the people. What do you think about these findings? Do you think the government is representative of its citizens, or is the actual “enemy” of the people?

And by "U.S. Government" Democrats are thinking "Congress" and Republicans are thinking "Obama". MY guys are OK. YOUR guys are ruining everything. "as many non-voters are assumed to have an extremely negative or despondent view of the government as well." They don't vote, but they bitch and moan about the government they have? They need a good slap upside the head.
Eli, Eli, nai erchomai Kurios Iesous.
They don't vote, but they bitch and moan about the government they have? Why vote for someone who is only concerned about their OWN interests? You really see any point in voting for Republicans when as soon as they are elected they turn around and stab you in the back? They need a good slap upside the head. Tyranny enablers like you who vote to be enslaved are the ones needing a good slap upside the head. In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much Congress lives in terror of Dullard not voting.
Then they're one and out.
There might be some good reasons for that...

"as many non-voters are assumed to have an extremely negative or despondent view of the government as well."
“Truth is treason in the empire of lies.” - Ron Paul
Americans who have no experience with, or knowledge of, tyranny believe that only terrorists will experience the unchecked power of the state. They will believe this until it happens to them, or their children, or their friends.
Paul Craig Roberts
