Our new government doesn't want us to have pride....in anything,our counrty or ourselves.People who are proud of themselves(within reason...no swell heads needed)are harder to control. Once they are done convincing the rest of us that we don't matter we will believe that our vote/opinion won't matter and so on and so forth.They have already convinced most of us that God doesn't matter and and that he is actually OFFENSIVE. May they pray for mercy before they die. Oh well...strip the people of their pride,then their dignity,then their belongings.... One step closer to communism. Hello communism,we knew you were sneaking right around the corner. We were just too lazy to do anything about it. God help us.
