No. I worked with the gov several times. You would not belive, well, Im sure you would. I worked with the gov in cell phone jamming during details for the president. AND yes, the gov does listen in to your cell phone conversations. You can purchase a device in Japan that picks up cell phone with in 100 yards. That was in 2004. Im sure they put a block on most of it and kept it for them selves the gov.

Absolutely not. Todays government is a disgrace at every level and Salisbury is a circus at best. There is no end to the shananagans that our officials will try. When they are caught its like your the bad guy for exposing their deeds. The current white house will be the downfall of the American way of life and prosperity. Thankfully I didn't vote for the monkey.

City.... no
County....no
State....no
Federal.... when pigs fly!!!!!!!

I trust the state and local government....but I do not trust the Federal government whatsoever.

And trust is only one issue...the other is competence...and I score both the state and local government much lower in terms of competency than I do in terms of trustworthyness/integrity.

The Feds???...the incompetence has been glaring for more than two decades now. What has Congress accomplished? What has been done for the average American?...the Feds are all about big money...they are puppets and have no integrity at all...none.

No, I love my country, but I fear my government.

I ONLY believe in Mike Lewis. I dont look at him as "government" I look at him as law enforcement and that he is good at doing. I am so dissapointed with Ireton. We campaigned for him, made monitary donations and did anything necessary to become elected. He has let all of us down!

Donna said...

Sure, you can trust the government. Just ask any Indian.

No - and the Peoples Republic of Maryland is one of the worst. Wake up people!!!

Linda said...

No

hobie88 said...

Trust them to do what? Heck yes I trust our US military to defend me against our enemies.

By the way, we live in a republic. I *am* my government. I may have signed away that responsibility through my apathy, that still means we are collectively responsible.

In my mind, trust isn't the issue...it's competence to carry out the wishes of the majority while protecting the rights of the minority.

Not at any level and I sure hope that we can dump them all come election time. I'd be glad to see them ousted NOW.

NOPE!

How can you trust a government that accuses you of being a nazi when you are telling them you don't want them taking control over your life?
David Assholerod even said that the people weren't thinking right because they oppose the takeover of healthcare by the government.
The Government is supposed to protect us from foriegn invasion, protect us from the crminals in society, and build and maintain the infastructor, and that's basically all!
We now need to protect ourselves from the government that is taking over everything.
We NEED a constitutional reset.

Absolutely not, especially on the federal level. You can't trust corrupt, incompetent idiots, pedophyles or Mao quoting communists.

No, no, a thousand times no - and that includes city, county, state and federal.

nope not at all, since the "messiah" got elected, its been a major turn off. I am my own government. I make my decisions to what can help support me and my family, I definitely do not need to be told, or forced into his health care reform or any of his desires

Not at all, especially when the dems are in control.

Hell NO!, besides, we don't have much government left. Mostly a bunch of thugs and do nothing bureaucrats.

Anonymous said...

Not one bit. The politicians are nothing more than news anchors now, they read something someone else wrtoe from a teleprompter, smile on que, and distract from their facial expressions by displaying a large amount of hand gestures.
The government is the largest gang in the U.S.!!!!
