You might be surprised to learn that the United States of America was not a democracy, but a republican form of government. (See: Art.4, Sec.4, USCON)

However, you are correct in assuming that the current United Socialist States of America operates as a democracy, using bribery, opinion polls, and popularity contests to run the government. (Since 1935, and FICA)

Under the original rules, it was quite simple:
Job #1 = secure rights, and
Job #2 = govern those who consent.

Today's rules:
Job #1 = Get more power, and
Job #2 = Get more revenues.

Technically speaking, you can't blame the politicians in government. You've given consent to all their shenanigans.
You may not know how and when, but it is in the law, on the books, in any county courthouse law library.
Read them yourself.

I don't get it.

By the way, where were these rallies during the Bush Administration.

Was George W. Bush a champion of liberty?
This isn't a serious thread, is it?

Yeah, pretty vague.

Video good enough for you?


YouTube - People protest wall street bailout!!!
So Democracy Now! is covering a TEA PARTY protest of Wall Street?

I don't think so...

Hundreds of thousands of people were willing to travel to Washington, D.C. to protest certain people only AFTER January 20, 2009.

Compared to Chairman Obama, yeah, I wish Bush was back! But many were unhappy with the spending then. It is at least 10 times worse now, to say nothing of the socialist/Marxist ideas that Obama is pushing.

WAKE UP!!!! DAMN IT! WAKE UP!

Why don't you ask Sarah Palin a Tea Party darling? While she was advocating Dr. Laura's First Amendment rights she did not say anything about her choice to use the "N" word. While I'm an advocate for every American's First Amendment rights. Dr. Laura's language was at the very least rude and at the most highly offending to many especially Black Americans.

What comes out of incidents like these is not only did Sarah Palin not speak out in any way to say she doesn't condone racially offensive language, nobody else in the Tea Party or the Conservative movement of any note spoke out either. Black Americans got the message loud and clear.

Seriously, get some new material. The only people buying the constant cries of racism are already in your corner.
It's pretty obvious that the people that don't give a damn about racism in this country are in your corner.

You are obviously one of the Koolaide drinkers who doesn't understand that which is right in front of you...
I think you meant a very dark man.

LOL it's obvious you didn't actually hear Dr. Laura's tape where she was talking about the n-word in general, she wasn't calling anybody the n-word.

Your post is pointless.

The difference now is that Obama, Reid, & Pelosi are pushing policies that are AGAINST THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE.

If you still don't understand... just wait until the November elections.
The media didn't make him out to be a terrible president because he did that all by himself.
