Americans' identity - for the taking...

I received a call from a friend in West Virginia; she was fit to be tied and angry as a little banty hen. She had called Virginia Natural Gas to have her gas turned on. And to whom did she get to talk. You guessed it; a woman in East India as in the nation, India. The woman wanted my friend's social security number to verify my friends identity. Some companies only ask for the last 4 digits while we know full well that they have the entire number. I didn't have the heart to tell my friend that our nation and many of the companies with whom we have credit cards have sold us "dirt cheep" along with our identity and the key markers of our Identitiy. I had a similiar experience when I had to call BP (British Petrolum) for something about my credit card info. A not so nice woman in India said she needed my Social Security Number for my account. I asked, "Why?" Her response: The Patriot Act - fighting terrorism, don't you know. Given that the woman already had the information no doubt and was just verifying it, I wondered how much more info our nation and corporations upon whom we rely have given or subcontracted out to foreign nations. It is amazing that we are held so "cheap" to our "leaders" - may they live to see their congressional seats lost to the third-world illegals they have allowed to flood our nation. So, how do we take back our nation? Or can we? Surveillance cameras on every corner; listenting devices God-knows where; oh, how our nation fears us, and all done under the guilse of "homeland security." What a crock of crap? How do we take back our nation: End NAFTA, end the NAU, end the SPP - the gd bastards; don't try to "democratize" the world when we are marching ourselves right into socialism/communism right here at home with our paws begging for hand-outs from the fed. government which means we have no integrity or concern about stealing from our neighbors just as long as the "check" comes from the faceless grand-daddy long-legs governnment..;.. We should be so ashamed of ourselves for allowing race-baiters to distract us and tear us apart. Do you think our enemies don't rejoyce at our ethnic and class warfare? Just weakens us for their kill. As a nation, we may be proving that we are just to stupid, irresponsible, and third-world to survive. I don't know. I keep trying to see the good within us. I find it in our military,m our volunteer military. What will the far-left liberal socialist/communist folks - that's the elite who know much better than we how to spend our money. Oh, and that "universal health" care "they" plan to give you. No so. They plan to make "health care" policies affordable and then force you to buy it. Come on! Let's pull ourselves up by our bootstraps and tell them to "f*** off". We're Americans; with our extended families and with our church families, we can do just fine... Oh, and when getting your utilities turned on, demand to speak with an American or go to the nearest local office of the company in question...
