Tracing the Roots Of Anger, Frustration, and Shout Downs At Town Halls

From the beginning, Democrats needed to come up with a viable explanation for the anger and frustration exhibited at town halls. That's because if that outrage was rooted in down right disapproval for their health care bill that would indicate a wholesale rejection of the bill in general. So, immediately, this was called a "mob". It was insinuated that nefarious forces were behind the demonstrations. On top of this, people claimed that the protesters were acting with poor manners. Instead, they should ask their questions quietly

Where the colonists in 1776 polite?

Part of this is also the assumption on the part of self-styled “progressives” everywhere in America that everyone else operates like they do.

In 18 months we’ll be reading this article, but it will be entitled “Tracing the Roots of the Massive Civil Uprising”.

I've said this before: The townhall meetings start out civil. But the attendees are very well versed and know more about the legislation than their congressmen. The people ask pointed questions, and the politicians respond with a lie. The crowds go wild when they hear the lies.

Our politicians are not prepared to deal with knowledgeable constituents. They think we're all too dumb to know any better. But they are (once again) wrong.

The narcissism defining a Democrat precludes their admission that their Ivy League inspired utopianism isn’t workable...

I totally disagree. Progressives don’t act any differently. They aren’t any less rowdy. Do you think Code Pink is quiet? It’s all propaganda to try and paint protesters as out of the mainstream.

Where the anger comes from? From Obama’s administration forcing down our throats debt on to our coming descendants and calling us ‘cowards’, ‘right wing extremists’, ‘nazi’s’, ‘angry white mobs’, saying an honored police officer acted ‘stupidly’ for carrying out his duty, telling us to take a red or blue pill instead of getting the surgery needed, and for lying and deceiving the masses for years with the help of the biased media! THIS ANGER IS JUST. AND IT IS DESERVED.

POTUS said “get in their faces”.
