We are Americans, and we have a right to debate or disagree with any administration--Hillary Clinton

Go ahead, fill in the blank.  Angry mob, traitor, racist, hatemonger, nazi, flat earther, you name it.  I don't know about you, but I am getting tired of being dismissed and called derisive names just because I am a concerned American citizen.  The Liberals are reeling at the formidable resistance developing against their agenda, and are stunned that true, patriotic Americans are finally standing up and saying "enough".

"Ridicule is man's most potent weapon."  That is right out of Saul Alinsky's playbook.  When you can't debate the issues because you have no facts, you throw insults.  Watch Barney Frank.  He is a master at this tactic.  Ask him a tough question, and he will turn it around and put you on the defensive so fast you don't even know it happened. He was in rare form at last week's town hall meeting.  But so too were other members of Congress, who, with cameras rolling showed us all an unbelievable level of disdain, arrogance, elitism and disconnect from their constituents unprecedented in American politics.  These people really do believe the 2008 election gave them carte blanche to do to us and this Country whatever they wish, and they intend to make you pay dearly if you dare to stand in the way.

This post isn't about health insurance reform, cap and trade or the immigration battle that is sure to come.  It is about our lawmakers disrespect for the American people, and their constituents in particular.  In the last two weeks, we've seen Representative Jackson Lee talking on her cell phone as a cancer survivor addresses her at a town hall.  We've heard Arlen Spector tell his town hall attendees that he "isn't getting paid to appear there", (oh waaah).  And Washington State's Representative, Brian Baird making ridiculous comments about a Ryder truck parked out front meant for him.  Nobody has lynched you yet Brian, you're still good.  Finally, we had to endure Representative Frank belittling and insulting the concerned citizens of Massachusetts and Nancy Pelosi whining about swastikas offending her sensibilities.  Funny, that symbolism didn't bother her a bit when it showed up at protests against President Bush.

Our administration is no better.  In addition to setting up a web site that perpetuates lies, they wanted your fellow citizens to turn you in for "fishy" comments about their proposed programs.  The White House press secretary daily derides and ridicules any and all debate about administration policies, while being unable or unwilling to provide honest answers to honest questions. Robert Gibbs is in fact the "Wizzard of Ahs", seeming incapable of giving a straight answer within a single coherent sentence.

These people are embarrassing, and we as Americans should be embarrassed if we put them back in office.  It has become clear that most of our lawmakers are nothing special, but rather buffoons in business suits.  They are consummate carpetbaggers who play the system for their own gains, and they are not through with us.

A week ago we had momentum.  The administration blinked.  The Liberals are in disarray.  They are scrambling to salvage the pieces of their health insurance program and they fully intend to force it though the Senate by reconciliation.  Do not allow that.  You must keep the pressure on your lawmakers in Congress.  There is only one thing they love more than money, and that is staying in office.  You have no control over how much money they make, that is taken care of pretty well by the lobbyists and special interests.  You do however, have a lot of control over how long they stay in office, and you must make that abundantly clear.  Let them know, that call us what they will, they have not yet begun to see the angry mob.
