The average CONTRIBUTING and TAXPAYING American.<br /><br />I believed that I too have/had remarkable patience. But that comment was entirely unforeseen. It was so out of "left field" from that individual; but it was the LAST straw on my blog.<br /><br />I HATE comment moderation. I ENJOY a good repartee back and forth. I had ALWAYS ENCOURAGED disagreement and had, up to that point NEVER begun censoring responses. I would never, NEVER have considered going to his blog and insulting him, ever.<br /><br />What will actually happen with this country? For once in my life I really have no clue. All I sense is that it is not headed in a pleasant direction and I see insurrection in our future. Now, whether this takes the form of continued TEA Parties and demonstrations and blogs and radio and TV and magazines -- or another form more revolutionary -- I haven't the foggiest.<br /><br />I wish peace. But I actually have my fears. You ignore the American People, give them no place to vent, no other options, no way to seek redress, block and oppose their wishes. . .<br /><br />"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable." <br />John F.

I've heard people that are fed up now, and others who are still not boiling yet. Some from both groups are not very well informed, some from both groups are <i>very</i> well informed.<br /><br />The common ground is that it's not just conservatives, or just whites, or just one pin-pointed group. It's a majority of the people in this country, from all walks of life, and who actually read what congress doesn't - the bills they are voting to pass.<br /><br />Come November, if there is not a sea change of a magnitude not evident in the last thirty to thirty five years, then the lid will no longer be able to contain the anger, mistrust, and distrust that We, The People feel for the "representatives" in DC.<br /><br />(i sure wish we lived closer, bro - sitting down and chatting with you would be sweet!)caryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01122159049927843800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12452759.post-73715141708465703312010-04-01T06:25:53.530-07:002010-04-01T06:25:53.530-07:00Don't you just love it when the far left start...Don't you just love it when the far left start screaming it's racial. How can that be, when white people voted for Mr. O. and black people show up at the Tea Parties? <br />Then the coup De grace is the person that blew the lid on Jeremiah White in 2007, was actually a black man. <br />And then you have Mr. Hanks, who has to have been drinking some serious Kool-Aid, start spouting off about Pearl Harbor being a racial fight, since we hated the Japanese so bad.<br />I beg to differ with Mr. Hanks.<br />You had whites, standing next to blacks, standing next to filipinos, standing next to Asians from all walks of life including Japanese-Americans fighting in WWll, all fighting for this wonderful country that they believed in. Our country that was attacked, not the other way around. A country that their ancestors came here for the Freedom they would never have otherwise. Freedoms that are now being taken away from us chunk by chunk.<br />Yeah, GB, things are going to get much worse.<br />Now corporations can't stand up and shout, the HC bill will sink them.<br />People being forced to buy things they don't want nor might not need.<br />Drs. being treated like second class citizens. <br />Special interest groups running amuck.<br /><br />"You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred."

We talked a little more and he agrees that our country has somehow become something it is not meant to be.<br /><br />It is conversations like this that give me hope that a violent revolution might be avoided.<br /><br />It is a slim hope but I will do what I can to nurture it and hope for the best.<br /><br />cjhCJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07798965643027904154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12452759.post-28116474677801869702010-03-31T13:06:36.058-07:002010-03-31T13:06:36.058-07:00I wonder how it started in previous revolutions. I...I wonder how it started in previous revolutions. Is this 'normal' human behavior, the building anger and distrust of our leaders prior to changing the government? Worth reading the American Spectator: "America's Quiet Anger<br /><br />By James P. Gannon on 3.30.10 @ 6:07AM<br /><br />There is a quiet anger boiling in America."<br /><br />Is this the prelude to a long hot summer? I'm sorry, I just don't see a pressure relief valve.ddfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13302371912038013929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12452759.post-10454155220311683812010-03-31T11:18:14.563-07:002010-03-31T11:18:14.563-07:00I'm not that worried about things getting out ...I'm not that worried about things getting out of hand.<br />Those very things you mention and Facebook and other social media provide an overpressure valve for people's frustrations left and right.<br />I just looked at my Outlook items the number was 1776.
