Un-American?

I am utterly and com­pletely dis­gusted with politi­cians.  If you haven’t been liv­ing under a rock lately, then you know about the pas­sion­ate dis­courses that have been hap­pen­ing at town hall meet­ings around the nation on Oba­macare.  Well, accord­ing to Nancy Pelosi and Steny Hoyer, the peo­ple that have been ask­ing ques­tions at the town hall meet­ings have been act­ing in an “un-American” way.

How­ever, it is now evi­dent that an ugly cam­paign is under­way not merely to mis­rep­re­sent the health insur­ance reform leg­is­la­tion, but to dis­rupt pub­lic meet­ings and pre­vent mem­bers of Con­gress and con­stituents from con­duct­ing a civil dia­logue,” the two lead­ers write. “These dis­rup­tions are occur­ring because oppo­nents are afraid not just of dif­fer­ing views — but of the facts them­selves. Drown­ing out oppos­ing views is sim­ply un-American.

This is straight from an op-ed essay the two wrote, pub­lished by USA Today.  I’m sorry, but I think they’re liv­ing in an Alice-in-Wonderland world.  Shov­ing a health­care reform bill, that no one has com­pletely read and is social­is­tic at best down the throats of The Peo­ple, is un-American.

This dis­course is the epit­ome of what our coun­try is about — every­day peo­ple being pas­sion­ate about what is hap­pen­ing in Wash­ing­ton and what will affect them directly.  Never in my life­time has this hap­pened.  I’m glad to see peo­ple stand­ing up for what they believe in and not tak­ing what their “rep­re­sen­ta­tives” say at face value.  The politi­cians need to be knocked off their high horse and brought back down to real­ity.  They’ve been liv­ing in their own dream world for far too long.

Per­son­ally, I would like to see GOOOH(Get Out Of Our House) suc­ceed in get­ting every sin­gle politi­cian out of Wash­ing­ton and replaced with aver­age peo­ple that will have the Nation’s best inter­ests at heart, peo­ple who won’t be on their own “ben­e­fits pack­age” or try­ing to secure their own per­sonal Gulf­streams to fly around in.

It’s about time for a real change — not a “Change to Social­ism” that Obama has been promis­ing to do.
