“National pride is declining in America.”

Several news articles cover the subject here.

If I was 20 years old today, I could think of a half dozen reasons to be less patriotic than I was at age 20 in 1980.

Open Government Protocols

The era of newspeople not asking questions brings on private citizens who go out and ask questions.

Instead of waiting for school teachers to teach about individual rights and limited government authority, waiting on the press to ask questions, or courts to handle cases, these guys go out and update us with a quick reality check.

These guys were also never waiting on the overthrow of Saddam Hussein or the take down of any other bad guy in distant lands, as DOD defends the constitution, etc.

It is very common that public offices in various states will say something like go to our website to submit your public records request online.

They would prefer the person with the camera leave the office as soon as possible.

It is common in various states that open records laws allow the public records request to be submitted in person orally or in writing and that the public records request may be made anonymously.

Tyrant Terminator Audits!!! is another favorite channel where he has explained all this over and again in public offices.
