Sadly, it appears as though Americans are not supposed to speak up when they disagree with an out of control government. We’re supposed to just sit down and shut up.
We’re so not. It got worse and worse with the name-calling and everything from the Left -— all because we dared peacefully assemble to protest “healthcare.”
I was at probably 98% of the protests/tea parties (usually good times after work or on weekends), and 2 out of the 3 townhalls held about them. I would have left my baby, if I had one, with any of the conservative/libertarian folks. That’s how nice everyone was.
I heard that Linda Lopez, rep from another district, today on FOX. She was horrified by some of our 2010 campaign signs calling out the truth. Conservatives didn’t have the millions upon millions to buy the CD8 seat via lying commercials, so posted a lot of signs. Nothing mean, nothing dishonest. But “hate speech” to the Left.
Now, I don’t know anyone who’ll go back out with a sign. I sure won’t. And the Communists march on.
