Have we lost America..........Americans.........

What has happended to our country? We were a people of thinkers of creative people who constructed a society of free thinkers who became self reliant and no doubt the most powerful country in the world. What has happened to us? we have allowed talk show host on the radio and on the television to fill our minds with lies and half truths, we have stopped searching for answers and started searching for channels. when we find the channel which suits our opinions, our ideas then these are the people we listen to and who we follow.....its time to take back our minds, to read the bills, the legislation, the contracts, the constitution and know what we stand for instead of being told what we stand for............have we lost our America.....where are all the Americans
