To "bell the cat" means to take on a dangerous, difficult, or risky task for the good of the group. The idiom highlights the challenge of executing a solution everyone agrees is necessary, but no one wants to actually perform. This can be applied to the very survival of the United States. Will we ever regain our liberty or is apathy so ingrained in most Americans that it's a lost cause?

On this episode of Ground Zero, Clyde Lewis is joined by the one and only Freeman, and with your help, we're BELLING THE CAT. The original broadcast was on November 29, 2012.
