Why The American People are Angry

It is odd that our politicians seem to constantly keep asking why the Muslims are angry with us as a people and yet they clearly don't get it. I would say the same is true as to their understanding of why the American people are angry with our non-representing representatives.

I think representatives are fooling themselves and just as wrong about the American people as they are about the Muslims. The people are not angry at the democrats because they don't like their party plank. THEY VOTED THEM IN BECAUSE OF THEIR PLANK! They are not not all for the republicans thinking they're going to do a better job. The republicans have shown the same contempt for the will of the people and over legislation as the democrats.

The people are angry because neither party nor any of the individuals in either party has done what they said they would do; further neither party has done what WE WANT them to. They both have elitist attitudes that declare they know better than we do what we want or need.

Both parties have been busy for decades passing literally 100's of thousands of pages of unnecessary and unwanted legislation. The people in Washington are control freaks who mistakenly think that's what we want.

What we want is to get the government off our backs. We want them to stop the insane levels of tax. We are tired of being made to feel guilty because we don't want to give to every liberal welfare cause they want us to.

Speaking for myself I'm tired of people trying to make me feel guilty by saying such things as, "Well what about all those people on welfare and their kids? What are they going to do for food and necessities." They behave as though their misfortune is both my fault and my responsibility to fix. Neither of these things is true.

The idea that others need to tell me to wear a seat belt for my good or stop eating transfat for my good is absurd. They try to take the high moral ground by being the ones who "care". Failing that they try to get me to admit those things are bad for me and make me feel the fool for deciding to do it anyway. I have a right, or at least we used to have the right in this country to eat what we want to.

Yes, doing all of these things might raise the average life expectancy from 78 to 81 or 82... And are those 4 years really worth all that we would go without to get them? This is not something someone else can or should decide for me.

Speaking to my stupid non-representing representatives, Lynn Woolsey, Barbara Boxer, and Diane Feinstein, I say shut up and stop it!

What we are mad about is your utter refusal to do the will of the people who sent you to Washington. We don't need you any more and we're going to get you out of office as soon as possible. Hopefully we'll find people who'll do what we want and not jsut what the party wants. If the next batch doesn't listen to us and do what we want we're going to get rid of them as well. We're through with politics as usual. You promised us that you were through with politics as usual and it seems what you meant by it was that you were determined to practice even worse politics than usual. Well we don't need you and we won't keep you!

Republicans, Democrats, you're on notice, don't do the will of the people, DON'T KEEP YOUR JOB!
