In a democracy, do not elected officials have a right to keep secrets from the people?


 
Under what circumstances would it be OK not to tell the people if they are under threat from some external source? Why is it OK for just a handful of people to have these secrets? What is the end result if the people don't know the secrets of the few? Who is pulling the strings in this puppet show?

Just ask yourself what if this was happening under a Romney administration.

Ignorance is strength.
Peace is war.
Transparency is opaqueness.

BTW, the chocolate ration just got increased from 30 grams to 25.

We don't call them DUmb for nothing.

Only a DUmpmonkey would believe a citizen gains rights as a result of being elected to office.

ken tuckunder begs to be ruled, not governed.
