Fed up: Anger rising across America
Fox ^ | 7/7/14 | K.T. McFarland

Posted on 07/08/2014 4:59:07 AM PDT by workerbee

**SNIP**

We are now governed by elites, some the second and third generation of elites, who have decided the rest of us aren’t smart enough to govern ourselves. They believe modern society has become so complicated that government needs to be in every nook and cranny of it, making the decisions for us, for our own good. They know what’s best for us.

This growing dissatisfaction hasn’t reached a boiling point, but it shows no signs of simmering down. The signs are everywhere.

...”I will never again underestimate the stupidity of the American electorate.”...

Remember the terms “instant gratification,” and “the individual me?” Those are the rules of the generations educated in America’s government schools. Only fools work hard and try to leave this planet a better place than when they found it. Others do everything in their power to suck off those who work and their robbers can be found in the government who take the biggest slice of the blood, sweat and tears of the taxpayer to line their own pockets. Look at the tiny cost of birth control for well off leftist women..$9.00 a month and it was used as a propaganda tool to assist the steam roller in Washington D.C. against the taxpayer!!! If we had a media, this would not be happening.

And it is more then elections. The creeping crude of ideology transformation is at critical mass and I for one am sick of it.

“A Call To Arms”
by Mike and the Mechanics
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzHHj1cBDJk

Pass the word, it’s a call to arms
Midnight man at your door
Blackened faces run in the night
Daybreak under the floor

Bring my bow
Fill my head with flame, and we must
Let them know that the torch is lit again
Crystalize the pain behind your eyes
Are you ready to fight?

(You hear the drum and) run for your life
(Sweet Avalon the heat is on)
In other words, I hope and pray
That time and tide wash the hate away
A simple man with simple thoughts
Who turned to force as a last resort

All around us, chaos rings
Buildings crumbling down
Silhouettes in the fiery rain
Timbers crash to the ground

Bring my spear, invested with my youth
Bring the children near, they must now be told the truth
Old and young and those of foreign tongue
Are you ready to fight?

(You hear the drum and) run for your life
(Sweet Avalon the heat is on)
In other words, I hope and pray
That time and tide wash the hate away
A simple man with simple thoughts
Who turned to force as a last resort

In other words, I hope and pray
That time and tide keep the day away
When simple men with simple thoughts
Will turn to force as a last recourse

“Silent Running”
by Mike and the Mechanics
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_zWl8xnT00

Take the children and yourself
And hide out in the cellar
By now the fighting will be close at hand
Don’t believe the church and state
And everything they tell you
Believe in me, I’m with the high command

Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?
Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?

There’s a gun and ammunition
Just inside the doorway
Use it only in emergency
Better you should pray to God
The Father and the Spirit
Will guide you and protect from up here

Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?
Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?

Swear allegiance to the flag
Whatever flag they offer
Never hint at what you really feel
Teach the children quietly
For some day sons and daughters
Will rise up and fight while we stood still

Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?
Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?

Can you hear me running (can you hear me calling you?)
(Can you hear me) hear me calling you?
(Can you hear me running) hear me running babe?
(Can you hear me running) hear me running?
Calling you, calling you

Where I come from they call that, “Job Security”...security until the American people get so outraged and disgusted they vote the bastards out and replace them with more corruption and the process starts/continues all over again.

...”Yep that true. When I lived in Indiana, there was the Evan Bayh-D of Indiana. When he was in Indiana he sounded reasonable. The you’d hear what he said in DC, two totally different things.”...

I occasionally see Bayh on television and his comments never fail to irritate me. There are so many good people in Indiana..Farmers..They deserve much better.

Right... They had THEIR Robespierre and we have OURS!

A self-loathing, ideology-spewing demagogue with NO connection to the realities of the common man, forcing an impractical and impossibly unrealistic world view on people who only wanted their autonomy and sovereignty, a man who in the end, was distrusted and reviled by all!!!

From what I understand they were better off with Bayh. This new guy from South Bend is a liberal.

Americans are slow to anger, but once they do get angry, they are impossible to stop. Just ask King George III.

.. Hitler and Tojo of Japan.

“Americans will show their anger by continuing to vote democrat.”

Couldn’t have said it better.

There is a growing part of the electorate that loves the shenanigans of Progressives and the reactions they’re eliciting from the “knuckle-dragging, bible-thumping,
gun-loving, Christian morons in flyover country”.

(and it continues to rise from 40% and up-shameful)

IMHO

” ... vote them out of office ... “

Isn’t there a term for doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results?

We are on a dangerous path the power elites in Washington are pushing us down. Unless they relent it will not end well nor will it end peacefully.

Liberalism’s nannyism is a play toward the natural human(ist) tendency to believe yourself to be “elite”.

My libinlaw once stated that “60% of the people are too dumb to make their own decisions”. Right there was the implication that she was “special”, an “elite”, not one of “those people that can’t make their own decisions”.

No thought was given as to why it didn’t use to be that way,
or that liberal policy actually ENCOURAGES incompetence.

When your policy is based on “someone pooped their pants so you all have to wear diapers”, the next step is to make sure that more people poop their pants in order to justify your policy.

“At this point, the only possible solution is dissolution of the country.”

But... but... but if the country is dissolved who will service the 18T debt, the bond repayments and support the dollar? See, if it happens a lot of very wealthy and powerful people will be deprived very large payments on debt as well as a significant reduction in the value of their capital and power. Ergo, they won’t let it happen. Reference the NSA, oligarchy-run MSM and your local police’s Armored Personnel Carriers for supporting evidence.

.....Rather the seeds have been planted for a second American revolt and it has started.
