The broad perspective on the growing outrage in America
June 11, 1:45 PM ·

An ill wind is blowing in America. We saw a foreshadowing of it during the Presidential campaign of 2008 when dozens of ordinary citizens across the country expressed their outrage during McCain-Palin rallies over the fact that the country was apparently getting ready to elect a Socialist as President.

Their fears concerning that nightmare became a reality.

In the days since Barack Obama took office we have witnessed the continued growth and spread of the outrage as the Administration and the Democratic-controlled Congress has consistently demonstrated a shocking willingness to disregard the Constitution, arbitrarily set the terms for corporate bankruptcies, fire corporate CEOs at will, bully those rare voices in the media who would dare criticize the 'chosen one,' and mount an overall frontal attack on American free enterprise.

These actions have resulted in a citizens' grassroots movement called 'the Tea Parties,' and multi-thousands have already participated to express their opposition to current trends in government. They plan to do it again on July 4.

But a very telling sign that there is trouble a-brewing among the masses is the present tone and nature of phone calls made to talk radio hosts and TV programs that encourage citizen participation in discussions about politics. Locally here in South Carolina, most talk radio hosts are reporting that the tone of most of their call-ins is one of anger, betrayal, rage, disgust, and the feeling of helplessness that comes when a human being senses that things are raging out of control in Washington and the citizens seemingly have no power to stop it.

Radio host and Fox TV personality Glenn Beck reported last evening that on his radio show most callers are expressing outright shock, disbelief, and outrage that this is happening to our country, particularly in the aftermath of the Chrysler debacle and the stories that ACORN is taking our money and scheming with Obama to, in effect, steal elections. Beck senses that this is only the tip of the iceberg and that a broad-based resistance movement among ordinary citizens is brewing that will erupt into the streets at any moment.

The fact that the vast majority of these citizens are normal, peaceful, freedom-loving people who merely want government to leave them alone is a key point of emphasis. The Left, the Obama Administration, and the mainstream media have shown that they are intent on portraying these citizens as violent, ultra right-wing kooks.

And a very tiny minority is helping them spread that untruth.

The shooting at the Holocaust Museum in Washington yesterday is a perfect case in point. Each time something of this nature happens, the spin doctors go to work to link such nutcases to the conservative movement. Already there have been voices on the Left pointing to the incident as proof that Janet Napolitano's DHS document that warned of 'rightwing extremists' becoming 'homegrown terrorists' was absolutely correct.

Nevermind that the perpetrator was a neo-Nazi racist who hated Jews, blacks, conservative Christians, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, and a host of other individuals and organizations. This guy was an equal opportunity purveyor of hate, a nutjob who targeted conservatives as well as liberals, and everyone in between.

But loonies like this merely portray the most extreme symptom of a much greater, more powerful movement simmering just below the surface. Whenever normal citizens being to express their emotions in a pointed fashion, in response to the attacks they are witnessing against the American way of life and its Constitution, the loonies are the first to 'lose it.' The weakest among us are the first to crack. And these acts of violence must be condemned in the harshest of terms.

This in no way minimizes or de-legitimizes the deep concern over the direction of the country on the part of a vast segment of the citizenry. These citizens are very perceptive. They have assessed the direction of the country in a rational fashion and have been frightened, and rightfully so. That fear is now expressing itself in outrage and a growing willingness to mount a protest of historic proportions--not to perpetrate violence as do the loonies, but to send a clear signal to Washington that we, the citizens, have had enough of the push Leftward and are willing to bring it to an end.
