''There is a anger boiling in America''

 It is the anger of millions of hard-working citizens who pay their bills, send in their income taxes, maintain their homes and repay their mortgage loans -- and see their government reward those who do not.

It is the anger of small town and Middle American folks who have never been to Manhattan, who put their savings in a community bank and borrow from a local credit union, who watch Washington lawmakers and presidents of both parties hand billions in taxpayer bailouts to the reckless Wall Street titans who brought down the economy .

It is the fury of the voiceless, the powerless, the ordinary nobodies of Flyover Country who are ridiculed, preached to, satirized and insulted by the Celebrity Loudmouths of the two Left Coasts, the Jon Stewarts and Keith Olbermanns, the Paul Krugmans and their ilk.

It is the salted wound of the millions who see that ruling Democrats in Congress are not listening to them but are willfully ignoring public opinion and the verdict of recent elections in passing a huge new health care entitlement when the existing entitlements of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid are already broke.

It is the frustrating helplessness of citizens who revere the Founding Fathers and the genius of the Constitution that they wrote, who actually believe the words of the Constitution mean what they say, not more and not less.

They who watch politicians and the courts stretch and bend that Constitution, finding "rights" not enumerated, powers never granted, meanings unimagined -- believe that their country is being redefined without their consent.

Most of the angry are not out marching in the streets, waving signs or shouting into bullhorns. And they are not smashing windows or phoning death threats to politicians. They are simply waking up angry in the morning, and going to bed angry at night. 

And their resentment is multiplied by the media's efforts to portray them all as dangerous, crazy people, and by the effort of certain Democrats to tar them with brush of violent intent.

They are embittered, too, by the rhetoric of a triumphant president who turns on its head Winston Churchill's heroic attitude promising defiance in defeat but magnanimity in victory.

For a president of a deeply divided country, defiance in victory is not an endearing posture. 

It has all the persuasive charm of a Chad Ochocinco victory dance in the end zone of the opponent's stadium.

These quietly angry people gather in their churches while their religions are called divisive and their beliefs are labeled as bigotry, and they pray for a better day. They talk among themselves in their Main Street cafes, at the Rotary club or at their kids' softball games, seeking others who understand their frustration and will not respond with arrogant dismissal.

They are tired of being told they are too stupid to understand the country's complex problems, too rooted in the past to find solutions, too selfish to share what they have worked for with everyone else who wants it.

They are not reaching for guns or for pitchforks. They are holding their anger within, waiting for their time, watching those in power over-reach and over-indulge.

Their wound is deep, and it will not be salved by more presidential speeches, Congressional hand-outs, or promises of wonderful things to come.

 They no longer believe any of that. Their quiet rage abides, waiting till it can be expressed in that silent place behind the curtain where the ballot lists the names that they have now committed to an angry memory.

By Mr. Curmudgeon:

A sick feeling in the pit of America’s collective gut is starting to manifest. A new CNN poll finds “President Barack Obama’s approval rating dropped eight percentage points over the past month, to 45%, the president’s lowest rating in more than a year and a half.” Obama’s dramatic change of fortune, said CNN, is the result of “a massive U.S. government [National Security Agency] surveillance program,” the “Internal Revenue Service’s targeting of Tea Party and other conservative groups,” and “the administration’s handling of last September’s attack in Benghazi that left the U.S. ambassador to Libya and three other Americans dead.”

More than two hundred years after Thomas Jefferson penned the Declaration of Independence, proclaiming the individual’s natural right to live free, average Americans no longer recognize their nation as the “land of the free.” And the Executive isn’t the only branch of government to suffer a drop in public confidence. A Gallup poll finds a mere 10% of Americans approve of Congress.

We must not forget – no official holding public office shot their way to power. The very people now losing faith in big, intrusive, authoritarian government elected them all. That’s because the politicians never tell us what we need to hear – only what they know the gullible voter wants to hear.

In 2008, candidate Obama told Ohio’s Joe The Plumber that “spreading the wealth around is good for everybody.” Next year, average Americans will see their health care premiums skyrocket under Obamacare, with an aggressive IRS serving as the inescapable premium collector.

Nancy Pelosi once said that “free-riders” (those who can pay for their health care but don’t) “make health insurance for those who are taking responsibility more expensive.” The “free-rider,” in the eyes of Obama and Pelosi, is not the uninsured person whose health care taxpayers must fund, but the American worker struggling to earn enough to put food on the family table. The IRS, therefore, will target the hard-working, tax-paying “free-loader” on behalf of the “responsible,” which in the new America is defined as those dependent on Uncle Sam.

The assumption among Obama voters was that the president would take the wealth of others to “spread around” and not theirs. That was an irresponsible assumption (and I mean “irresponsible” in the classic sense, not as understood in the new and improved ObamAmerica).

And Republicans don’t get a free-ride as far as blame is concerned. Establishment Republicans blurred the distinctions that once separated the two parties by adopting big-government statism and dubbing it “conservatism.” Progressivism that began under Republican President Theodore Roosevelt remained virtually unopposed within the GOP until the rise of the Tea Party.

Calls for a return to constitutional restraints on government is why the establishment Republican commissioner of the IRS allowed his agency to target groups with “Tea Party” and “Patriot” in their titles.

Obama, like the Progressive politicians in both parties that preceded him, despises the Constitution for its “essential constraints,” as he once said in a radio interview. The problem, said Obama, is that the Constitution “is a charter of negative liberties.”

By “negative liberties” the president meant the Constitution’s enumerated constraints upon government and its power to infringe upon our individual liberties – such as freedom of speech, the right to bear arms, the right to be secure in our “persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures.”

The Constitution’s “negative” aspects do not injure the individual citizen but the power-mad, government authoritarian.

The IRS targeting of the Tea Party, coupled with the federal government’s unprecedented spying on a once free press and people, are driving down the approval ratings of our big-government president and his bipartisan, big-government Congress.

Is a picture beginning to form in your mind?

Big government is no friend of the average, hard-working, liberty-loving American … or the soft-headed, big-government-loving emotional adolescent for that matter. To the government elites consolidating power in America’s impending police state, they are one and the same.

Breathe deep and you can almost smell the fear. That’s because this is not our America. Ironically, the beast now coiling its tentacles around our throats is of our making.

We became a nation of gullible, trusting dolts when we forgot George Washington’s warning that “government is not reason; it is not eloquence. It is force. And force, like fire, is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.”

This is long but all true..
