I just watched an interview with some of your members on CBS News and I gotta say I really did not understand your anger. One of the men interviewed said he wanted his country back. Well, this is my country as well as it is yours, so I am not sure what you mean when you say you want your country back. Are you saying what Congressman Allen West is saying? That I and other people who do not believe in your political views should just leave the country?
If that is the case, I strongly disagree with your point of view. I was born here and I served my country in the U.S. Army. I am not going to go anywhere. Telling anyone that they have to leave the United States because you disagree with them is quite honestly un-American.
You whine and complain that government is too big and interferes in your life. Yet you folks are the first to complain if government services are cut. Here where I live, one of your Tea Party radio host heroes who rails against paying taxes did an entire show about how poorly the streets were plowed after a recent snowfall. Just where do you all think the money comes from to pay for the plows, the plow drivers, and road salt?
While we are on the subject of whining and complaining about "Big Government" and how it "interferes with your life," let's talk about how you want to stick your nose into my bedroom, my neighbor's bedroom and my other neighbor's bedroom. What business of yours is it who someone loves? What business is it of yours about what goes on between two consenting adults?
You say that government has no place in making healthcare decisions. Why do you feel the need to put the hand of government in between a woman and her doctor? I get that you don't like abortion—I am cool with that. But here is a bit of advice for you: if you don't like abortion, don't have one. But do not force your views down on anyone else.
I gotta ask you this though, what is it with your fear of unions? You have all these names for hard workin' union folks that quite honestly just show your ignorance. The names you have for union folks include "Big Union Boss," and the "Union Thug." I have never met either one. In fact, did you know that if you have a friend in a union it is entirely possible that that friend who is patching roads for the county or sweeping the hallways at the local school is also the union president? Yeah, your friend is a "Big Union Boss." As for union thug...go talk to the librarian at your kids school. Does he or she look like a thug to you?
I could go on here; however, I am not sure it would do any good. See I think I finally get it...I now understand your anger. You are not in power. You are not calling the shots, and it pisses you off. Here is the deal. This is the United States of America and while we have our problems we have always persevered—not because we stayed in the past like you seem to want to do. No, we have moved forward by looking towards the future and doing bold things. In your world we would have never settled the west, we would have never gone to the moon. Yet, you say you want your county back...what exactly do you want back? The United States you seem to want only existed in Leave it to Beaver re-runs.
