Ever since I was a little girl I have always listened to "the old timers" and have enjoyed every minute of it! I love hearing about their history and experiences and it makes me realize that they had it so hard, they worked for what they have now day in and day out and truthfully it makes me realize how easy I have it because of them. It also makes me realize that I have a long way to go before I can say I understand what they went through to survive.

I am attending a Tea-Party for the reasons you stated. I always have and always will stand my ground, because to do anything else would not only be cowardice, but it I have given into the politicians in D.C.

Unfortunately, the percentage that I am in is still rather small compared to the rest of the college populace, but I still do my part any way I can.

I can't disagree with you.....you are very much correct in this. It's just sad that it has had to go to this level before people are finally seeing what has been in front of their face for so long...

Susan isn't wrong. It isn't "free press" any more and it hasn't been that way for a long time. Keep in mind she didn't say "every journalist, news network, and blog", she said main stream media. There is a significant difference between the two.

This country has little to no knowledge of history and that is part of the problem. My generation doesn't know anything about WW2 or the people that were murdered; the scapegoats that were created because there is no one around to tell us differently any longer. As a 22 year old college student, I spend a lot of my time arguing politics with my friends. I'm not like most average students in my generation; I'm informed; my parents made me that way because they know their history.

But people just want to bury their heads in the sand or wear their rose-color glasses and pretend that nothing has changed. People want to go around and feign ignorance that 9-11 didn't happen and they hate that we speak up against the current administration. They say we are nothing but traitors because in the end, they have no other name to call us. They fear someone upsetting the precious balance of their own “perfect” reality that they themselves have created. God forbid we should be informed, but that's all the politicians want. They want to control what we know and what we learn because knowledge is power and if we don’t have that knowledge, then they have the power.

I’ve spent far too much time yelling and screaming at the television in the last few years over issues in the political spectrum and I’m sick of it. It is my belief that many others have as well and finally we have a voice loud enough and demanding enough that someone will have to pay attention. It’s about time.
