We Americans who are protesting at Townhalls and Tea Parties are not manufactured Angry Mobs! We're not Astroturf, We are a Nation of the People, By the People and For the People.

I am angry. Woke up this morning at 3:30AM with tumbling thoughts of despair for the Country and my Tea Party Countrymen, women and children and I wanted to cry real tears out of frustration. As I lay awake trying to get back to sleep, I flicked on the DVR and played the Glenn Beck Show on Fox News I had recorded (March 26's show). He demonstrated with a "stinking fish" wrapped up in the New York Times, what happened last week with the government printing even more money while Obama went on Jay Leno Show and Congress berated a beleaguered Mr. Liddy of AIG. All the outrageous indignation and showy antics to hide the fact ("the stinking fish wrapped by the other events displayed in the NYT") that the Treasury was printing another trillion dollars out of thin air. Beck is right! And I'm feeling like I'm getting screwed and there's nothing I can do about it.
Obama and Congress are literally burying us with their asinine fixes for the economy and they are suffocating every American, whether they be man, woman or child, with debt. All this unread hurried new legislation, ridiculous spending and budgets and proposed restraints on our very "God given" rights and liberties deemed by "OUR" AMERICAN CONSTITUTION"! Who are these people in Washington?
Can you believe that sometimes the fate of our country rest with only 100 of these people (the Senate)!!! They certainly don't represent me at all (and I've been writing emails for months, and they ARE NOT looking out for my or my family's best interest. Congress is who got us into this mess, and now they're digging a very deep grave for us. Is there any hope?
(See the scene of Colonel Ludlow's "Screw 'em..." video link below)
A scene from Legends of the Fall kept coming to mind while I lay in the TV lit darkness haunted by the above facts. It is when Colonel Ludlow who is partially paralyzed from a stroke forcefully blurts out in a slur of words "Screw the Government!" Screw em! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4EdQEZx6i0&feature=related
I love my country, but I'm starting to hate living under the dictates of its new government. G.C.

Unfortunately the original scene which I posted here on April 30, was removed by You Tube.The scene of Colonel Ludlow's "Screw the Government..."
Script: "Your brother's a congressman now
They have a big new place over in Helena
lt's as it should be
Cattle prices dropped after the war ended
The Colonel didn't care much He lost everything he had
We'll make it back On horses, or something else
We'll make it back
He says your brother voted for the Volstead Act
- Should we try bootlegging? - There's good money in it
- Screw the government! - Screw em!"
