I find it ironic that Obama in Pittsburg gave the protests during the G20 meetings notice but never gave a comment on the march on DC. He stated to our countries guests’ that in America, demonstrating and free speech is our right. So the media can show the rest of the country and the world of how free speech looks like in Pittsburg but not in DC?

I don’t have an answer on how to make the mainstream or the fringe media understand that it isn’t about the “tree” it is about the “forest”; There have been “voices” speaking out for many years about how the media giants have evolved to only cover what is politically correct and what is on the agenda. These giants love to tout the size of the war chest of candidates but don’t comparison shop for the voter on the issues at hand and how the candidate really stands on each of the individual issues.

There are news anchors and reporters that are “long in the tooth” and never once gave thought to the statement of “Redistribute the Wealth”. I know it wasn’t that long ago that statement alone would have raised the hairs on every Americans neck and have all thinking back to Marx, Lenin and the Bolshevik’s.

America has always walked the thin line of socialisum but we have always come back to the middle of the road when the crisses is behind us but I now worry that the “transformation” of our country is something quite different and the stage is set for the “coming out” party of the hidden agenda.

Yes Glen, it is that complex; The “people” have been sleeping at the wheel and the “minority” of vocies that have raised the alarm for so many years that there is danger ahead were ignored. Now that “danger” is here, the “people” are now asking how we got here. I only hope that you and the rest of “We the People” are in time to save our country from the fate. God save us all.

I dont think I have ever been brainwashed. I was taught that there is always two sides to a story. I am a life long democrat but have never walked the party line. I vote for the person; I vote for solving issues that will benefit all not a select few. And I think if you read what is posted from most folks here, you will find that they want that too. I am sure that there are a few here that think skin matters but I have yet to read or see them.

I think you need to sit back on you kester and put some thought to this question: Are you happy with what our government is/has been doing for the past 20, 30 or 40 years?? Our country is failing much as the Roman Empire did. Pull out the old history books and you will find the simularities are down right scary. The worst thing is that the younger generations dont even realize the rights or liberty they have lost because they dont exist anylonger. You dont miss what you never had. Glen has yet to tout the party – I dont always agree with him but he at least is voicing what many of our fellow countrymen, fellow American’s feel and putting it on the table for discussion.

I voted for OBama and I’M sorry and ashamed I did. He has not lived up to all he has said but he is trying to change america as we know it. Do we want a shadow goverment in control? We must listen now if we can and stop them before it is to late…it is like a bomb ticking. How much more proof does congress need? Van Jones and CZARS and crazy people are in charge of our destiny and we need to stop this maddness.

There is nothing complicated about the tea party movement.The people are fed up with the 700 billion.786 billion,and now 856 billion to somewhere in the ball park of 1.4 trillion in the next 10 years.Its is simple figure out how to pay for the first 1.4 trillion before planning to spend another 1.4 trillion.Reckless spending is how we got here driven by greed in both partys ,so where is the accountability Obama promised.Transparency ?accountability?
Obama said he would bring this back to the government yet he gets in office and does nothing.Instead we wast tax dollars investigating yet again the CIA reguarding torture , all to make the left happy.The left is a well oiled machine and seems to have a lot of influence over our president.That my friends is complicated and scary.

Simpleton an ignorant,foolish,or silly person.
Synonyms dolt,fool,numskull,blockhead,ninny,dope
Way to go New Yorker you found a creative way to call people a lot of names with one word bravo.I do have one question for you .Do you think it makes you look smart to use words like simpletons? A smart person wouldn’t have to call people names to make them look ignorant .So what does that make you? Do you have nothing to say or do you lack the compassion to understand where people are coming from.You may disagree but you are like the pot calling the kettle black when you have nothing better say than call names.

Good point…

Please help me understand what that means… role back government power?

What powers would that be?

For example, recently the federal government and many state governments targeted a single organization to specifically defend that targeted organization and remove that specific organizations contracts.. would that be over reaching the power of the fed?

I am more than willing to say that the government when going after guns is a concern of mine and that the government shouldn’t try to take weapons from a person or group of persons.

It’s not at all complicated…Joe Sixpack is mad as heck and he ain’t gonna take it any more.
We are being taxed and not represented. Every politician in public office in DC has broken their solemn vows to their constituents which is to do what the people want…Look at Barney F. he says he will go against what his constituency wants because he knows best whats good for them…What a fool.

Oh I forgot that the liberal left only knows their views which is obscured by their own minutia and rose colored glasses…
Communists cannot understand the idea of freedom, so I guess to them it IS complicated in their small minds.

Actually, I believe Ron Paul provided the best answer in response to a question in the interview in Time Magazine. The question was: “If people are so frustrated with a two-party system, why has there been so little success in coming up with another real contender? —Erika Groff, Troy, N.Y.” Ron Paul’s answer: “Because we don’t have a two-party system. We have a one-party system. Both parties endorse the welfare state and corporatism. Both parties support interventionism overseas. But they also write all the campaign laws. So they have made it virtually impossible to break into the monopoly. If I had run on a third-party ticket I wouldn’t have been in the debates.” Naomi Wolfe came to the same conclusion. The Party (ies) lock everyone out they don’t want in the sandbox. I have voted for Ron Paul, for Alan Keyes and others whom I think are American Patriots. I will not vote for a Republican or Democrat just to try to have voted for a winner who is a loser.
