The State vs. The American People

The situation in our nation is fast becoming one of the State (the government) vs. the American people. The American people have a very serious and growing concern over widespread corruption, out of control spending, increasing taxes, high unemployment, too much federal government control, lack of voice in government, radicals in key positions in government, apologizing to the world about America, indoctrination of young school children and students at all levels of education, loss of freedoms, and even more. As a consequence people who normally are quiet are waking up and speaking up. There is a groundswell spreading across America, neighbor to neighbor, in the coffee shops and lunch rooms, in the work place, at barber shops and beauty salons...all over the country. This major movement is being misunderstood, misconstrued, and underestimated. It is occurring at all age levels, across race, and even across political party lines.

Those in Washington, rightfully criticized, are reacting by considering the people who are speaking up with disdain, rather than true citizens of our country. In fact they are treating the American people as the enemy! In the past, the vast majority of people in America have been quiet, and what you hear and read about are the vocal minority, or those who have definite agenda based organizations. Yet this new groundswell is much larger in number than realized and is a true grass roots level movement.

The people now speaking up are just ordinary Americans, not mobsters, Nazi's, right wing radicals, crazies, etc. The rallies across America have been peaceful, orderly, and respectful, not like many others where there is the tendency toward hate and violence. They even clean up after themselves which is rare. There are always a few that attend that might be on the fringe but this no way represents the entirety, not even close. They are people who are deeply concerned about the direction of our country and the predictable gloomy future that will surely result for themselves, their children and grandchildren. The movement is growing through networking by people discovering that there are many others who share the same deep concerns. All kinds of false accusations are levied upon them, much of this coming from the White House and many in Congress, as well as the media. Yet they are wrong, and they are not going away. They are laying in wait for the next opportunity to vote. They are organizing to change to current misdirection of the country. They are a powerful new force in America. The old adage of waking a sleeping giant applies!

Yet in America today, shamefully, we have a situation where those elected to represent us are not listening, in fact they refuse to listen with an attitude that they know better. Worse, what we have occurring in America today is a situation where The State considers the American people as the enemy.
