The emerging protest movement is almost the mirror image of the grass-roots campaign that helped sweep this Arrogant Ass into office by pulling in people who'd never been politically active.

“almost exclusively white, conservative and working class.”
Bravo! Maybe the white, conservative working class, who has been held hostage, is sick and tired of being the foot stool for a minority group that comprises 13.5% of the US population that has run amok. Nobody speaks for the white, working class because it would be considered racist. Could this possibly be the “other giant” that has awakened?
Maureen Dowd calls townhall attendees
“OLD WHITE MALCONTENTS.”

“...Instead of a multicultural tableau of beaming young idealists on screen, we see ugly scenes of mostly older and white malcontents, disrupting forums where others have come to actually learn something. Instead of hope, we get swastikas, death threats and T-shirts proclaiming “Proud Member of the Mob.””

Inside the inner chamber of the castle the kings squire hastily approaches the throne:
Squire: “Sire, the peasants are REVOLTING! The peasants are REVOLTING!”
Totally oblivious King: “Yes they are.”
The above scene is taking place in town halls and elsewhere, ALL OVER America, regarding Obama’s government run deathcare, “cap and trade,” “man made global warming” and amnesty for illegal aliens. Ironically, the attitude of most of those in power from our so-called “president,” on down to those in the House and Senate, is EXACTLY the same:
“The peasants are REVOLTING!”… “YES THEY ARE!”
Our so-called “leaders” choose to remain TOTALLY OBLIVIOUS to the reality of what is taking place and willfully refuse to understand WHY so many American CITIZENS (not surfs) are upset with their pushing policies and bills upon us that will enslave and hurt EVERYONE ELSE BUT THEM! The reason why is because they believe with all of their hearts that:
“All animals are equal, and some animals are MORE EQUAL than others.”
The American people are finally waking up and realizing that those in power believe that THEY are “MORE EQUAL” than the rest of us, i.e., those whom they govern; the VERY PEOPLE who have put them into power! They believe and act as though the rules and laws they pass apply to EVERYONE ELSE BUT THEM!
Americans are not going to let this stand because (contrary to what they believe) THIS IS NOT ANIMAL FARM, neither is it Venezuela, Cuba, Canada, communist China, North Korea or Russia! We live in AMERICA; a country that promises LIBERTY and JUSTICE for ALL, not just for those “animals” who deem themselves “BETTER” and “MORE EQUAL than others (read: everyone else).”
THIS is the reason why Americans are protesting and refusing to submit to Obama’s and the democrats so-called government run “health (death) care” program, because those in power, along with their entire extended families, ALONG WITH THE UNIONS AND ALL OF THEIR MEMBERS have all EXEMPTED themselves from being under the same program they are trying to FORCE upon everyone else.
We are NOT animals! We are Americans!
THIS IS NOT ANIMAL FARM! This is America!
It is high time that those in power realized this, unless they want to join the ranks of the last king, former aristocrat/autocrat who when faced with similar circumstances had the same attitude and audaciously said: “Let them eat cake.”
