Who is protected by our government?

Ihave read several sources recently that are saying bad things about our government. THings like "they are protecting the 'bad guys'"...
I would really hate to believe these things, without some confirmation, so I went searching.
First, we find that the Government is behind what is becoming known as "astro-turffing". The practice of creating fake or pseudo-grass-roots organizations to combat the popular grass-roots organizations that are against the current policies of this administration.

Next, you have people in high places telling their "astro-turf" members to "infiltrate" the real grass-roots orgs, and not for good purposes.

And finally, you have them making things up, lying, being purposefully deceptive about the Grass-Roots movements, maybe they feel threatened?

What have we come to?

To top it off, the oil rig explodes, and instead of suspecting terrorists, we are told it "is probably someone who hates obamacare".

Instead of believing the best about it's own Citizens, the Government tries to condemn its citizens for exercising their first amendment rights!

Then, when we do decide to do something "right", when we decide to follow Federal Law (instead of ignore it) we get called RACISTS.

Isn't the Government supposed to PROTECT us from these actions?
Instead, it appears that the Government has sided with law breakers (illegal immigrants) and Terrorists.

But then, just to be contrary, many people want to change positions on how we handle certain peoples. This latest bombing attempt, the Times Square one, was done by "Taliban" or "al Qaeda", who just happens to be a naturalized citizen.

Instead of everyone demanding that we protect his rights, as a citizen (miranda, etc), they just want to "string him up".
NOW WAIT JUST A MINUTE!
If we let the Constitution continue to fail us, we will end up in a dictatorship, where rights turn into privileges, and privileges are only granted to privileged individuals.
Glenn Beck is under fire for saying that "this is the USA! we protect citizen's rights", and John McCain is complaining about how we are protecting this bomber's rights.
I don't care who you are, if you are a citizen, you deserve to have your rights, to have your day in court.
(also, please note, Rachel Maddow and Glenn Beck actually agree on this issue of rights. Prolly the first time in history (and maybe the last?) that they might agree, but maybe she is having a change of heart?)

Bottom line here, we live in America. We have "rule of law" and we must follow that. If we make exceptions, we will soon have no rule of law, but rule of fear, tyranny.
You don't try to destroy "grass-roots" orgs, you try to understand them. Why? Because they are citizens and they have concerns.
You don't start throwing labels around, like "anti-government" and "seditious", because someone disagrees with the current administration's policies, you listen to them. Why? Because they are citizens and they have concerns.
You don't violate someone's rights, just because they commit a crime. Everyone has "basic human rights" and citizens have "citizen's rights". We must follow "rule of law". Why? Because we are America and that is how we roll!
