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.

If you are pointing to the hypocrisy of the lib/dem/socialists you have company...

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.

When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

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.
