Funny how Reuters didn't mention WHO was arrested at the St. Louis townhall (Union Thugs!) and made it seem like the "dispruptive" conservatives were the violent ones...

rising anger among conservative voters toward President Barack Obama's reform plan.

LIARS, Democrats and conservatives BOTH are outraged at Obama's forced Socialized Health Care Reform, PERIOD. We want Health Care tweaked slowly and NOT Socialized or run by an incompetent Government.

Sounds like more and more people are waking up.

We shall see to what ends. I pray they are not just . . . ground under the tanks . . . a la . . . 20 years ago.

For whatever reason this issue is waking up some of the masses. Maybe because it is so personal to people. But at least some people are waking up. And with that, they will see through the rest of the BS and start to convince others.

Obama is going to deeply regret opening this Pandora’s box.

“whose summer “town hall” meetings aim to get a sense of how Americans feel about overhauling healthcare”

Anyone want to bet that when they get back into session they say that Americans overwelelmingly want government controled health care?

"I consider myself just an average American but there is not a day or a week that goes by that I don't hear talk about revolution in our country because (of) the government," said a man who called himself a "conservative, mainstream American."
"We (the United States under Obama) have gone so far out of the Constitution," he said to a standing ovation.

Amen to that. obama and his cohorts in crime are out of control, reading (and believing) their own press releases. If they didn't see this coming, they are truly blind. This is a groundswell of genuinely concerned citizens - you know, those people our elected representatives are supposed to, well, represent - not rule and subjugate.

Every single politician should be getting the message loud and clear, wide screen and in hi-def: enough is too much already. Don't touch our health care and get the government out of our lives, not controlling them even more.

Last weekend outside the Post Office; two men had a table set up and were handing out anti Health Care literature. Persons unknown approached them and turned their table over and confronted them. The perps left before the police arrived and stayed to as the men resumed handing out literature.

At work we have had a number of very warm discussions about the current administration. Coworkers who have never said anything political are suddenly very Right side of the fence.

Phrases containing revolution and civil war are spoken often. Myself, I've taken the time to learn the words to the French National anthem La marseillaise; “To Arms Citizens,” “Against Us Stands Tyranny.”

I’m pretty sick of hearing them say we need to “discuss” and “debate” the issue. Obama and his goons want to control our lives, and we want freedom. There’s nothing to discuss or debate, it’s that damn simple.

(”..revolution in our country..”)

.
Isn’t that part of Obama’s plan for the country? Divide and conquer.

Here I simply want to add an appreciative word regarding Barack Obama. Our President has told us that he has a gift, and he is undoubtedly right. But he misconceives the nature of his gift. He thinks that his skills in oratory will enable him to fool all of the people all of the time. In his Presidential campaign, he did wonders - hinting at radical intentions while speaking always in a moderate tone. And thanks to the blunders of George W. Bush in office and to the ineptitude of John McCain, who had made a career of betraying his own side, Obama managed to win.

Soon, however, the Democratic Party will be reminded that, in German, “Gift” is a word for poison. For one cannot fool the American people for long, and the real effect of the effort made by Obama and by figures such as Rahm Emanuel will be to unmask the Democratic Party as a conspiracy on the part of a would-be aristocracy of do-gooders hostile to very idea of self-government in the United States.

This we are witnessing now, for everything is now done in secret and behind closed doors. The so-called “stimulus bill” was passed in both the House and the Senate in a manner suggestive of tyranny. It was written in camera with the help of a legion of lobbyists, and it was presented and shoved through before anyone in Congress even had a chance to read it, much less think about it.

The fact that there was no time allowed for public discussion and debate aroused suspicion nationwide; and when it became evident that the bill was a fraud - that its real purpose was to reward favored party constituencies and that the sum spent will grossly inflate the national deficit in the short run and require massive tax increases down the road - Americans in astonishing numbers took to the streets in every corner of the land.

The passage of the cap-and-trade bill in the House - again without adequate public discussion and debate - only reinforced the wariness of the general public, and the same can be said for the efforts of the Obama administration to push through a scheme aimed at putting us on the road to socialized medicine.

Behind closed doors, in secrecy, a deal was done to reward the United Auto Workers and to defraud the bondholders of Chrysler and General Motors. And behind closed doors, without any species of accountability, Secretary of the Treasury Timothy Geithner is reorganizing our financial system.

Now, as citizens flock to town meetings all over the country to confront their Senators and Congressmen, we can see the consequences. And the White House and the Democratic Party have responded to the spontaneous organization of opposition to their endeavors in a manner that is reminiscent of the governments in Tocqueville’s France - by insulting their fellow citizens, by charging them with conspiracy, by locking citizens out of putatively public meetings, by bringing in union toughs to intimidate the opposition, and by illegally collecting the names and contact information of those who have exercised their First Amendment rights in a manner unfriendly to the proposals advanced by the current administration - apparently with an eye to future retribution.

We should be grateful to Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and Rahm Emanuel. For, in their audacity, they have done what their predecessors feared to do; and, in the process, they have made the tyrannical propensities inherent within the progressive impulse visible to anyone who cares to take notice. What Franklin Delano Roosevelt falsely charged in 1936 is visibly true today. “A small group” is intent on concentrating “into their own hands an almost complete control over other people’s property, other people’s money, other people’s labor - other people’s lives.”
