Throughout America voters are making their voices heard. This is a good thing, however, outright anger is not the answer.
My fellow Americans,
I am a laid off railroad worker, soon to be college student, and a father. I applaud every time Americans make their voices heard in town hall meetings across OUR United States. Having said that, anger is not the solution to our problems.
Anger will lead us down a road to blood shed and armed rebellion. Instead, turn your anger into a passion and love for your country. Continue going to the town hall meetings, continue writing or visiting your representatives on the state and national levels, continue to talk with your neighbors, and family members. Share what you know.
Instead of screaming that you do not want the government to do what it is attempting to bring about, try giving these career politicians solutions to the country’s problems. Tell them what they can do to reduce government spending. Tell them what they can do to reduce taxes across the board on corporations, high income Americans, as well as middle and lower income brackets. Tell them we can solve the problems if they will not.
We can solve the problems by running our own candidates, independently if we have to. We can ask our doctors, instead of career politicians how we can lower cost of health care. We can look to the past and see what works. 50 years of Keynesian economics from the 1930’s to 1980 brought about inflation, gas shortages and high taxes. In 1981 Americans made their voices heard and elected a president in Ronald Reagan, who completely revived not only America’s economy, but its spirit.
America is once again headed down the path of failed domestic and foreign polices, as well as higher taxes and dissension among ourselves. The question to be answered is: Will we make the necessary changes in 2010 as we did in 1981?

I can only hope that the power that Ronald Reagan brought forth, will some day very soon be found in another person whol truly cares about this wonderful country, and make changes for the good of man kind.
Great article
I hope so too. I apprecite your comment. Feel free to view my other articles.
I’m glad to see someone thinking in long terms. I agree with you: anger and uncivil actions are not necessary to make changes for the better.
I’m from Canada, by the way.
Appreciate the comment, expressing unfocused anger towards the united states federal government is like pouring fuel on a fire. They will just sa that we are just an angry mob, and that we will have to be controlled to an even greater extent…..
Or if we are angry they will say we are just unreasonable….
Out right anger is not the answer? Why did God create us with the capacity for anger? So we do not allow injustice! Don’t only get anger, get armed & ready!!!!!!! If we sit idly by, we will be enslaved by our Leaders in Government, don’t calm down people, get livid!
One more thing, our Founders were not idiots who said, “We must never get angry with the king, we should sit passively by & let him destroy our natural born Liberties!” No, they got justifiably angry, & revolted! I’m more apt to take a page from their play book, that I am from yours JBH! That is, unless you think you know more than they did? So tell me, which side are you on?
& I should make my stand clear here, I’m not saying to get armed to revolt, or shed blood, I’m saying get armed & ready, because they are going to bring this to our front doors, & not a single American should remain passive about that! It’s better that they figure out at the town hall meetings, that we are not going to put up with it, than for them to send the Police, National Guard, or the Feds to our homes, & find out, through blood shed. I, for one, see not being angry & vocal at this faze, as unjust, & naive!
Patriot, I understand where you are coming from, however, if we play their game and fight fire with fire then we are no better then they. They will say we are unreasonable, illogical, unruly and unintelligent. The way to solve this problem is to get the word out and make it known to as many folks as possible.
Our founding fathers gave us a system of government that allows us to determine our fate. They gave us system that allows for change now matter what the particular problem or policy is. They did this so we wouldn’t have do what they did and effect change through force of arms. I have been in a war before and I didn’t much care for it the first time around. I can’t imagine what it will be like literally fighting amongst where my family and friends reside.
Don’t get me wrong…. I believe in the constitution and I am very angry with what is happening in our country. I think instead of resorting to violence first we should attempt to rectify the issues within our current system of government.
Being a former United States Marine, I am always ready to protect and defend the constitution of the United States against ALL enemies, foreign and domestic. I am ready now. I am in agreeance with you on being ready. Certain people are born to it. I am one of those, but i also know that conflict isn’t the answer and they will have to throw the first blow and when they do. I will be ready and after that I will give no quarter.
I agree, I’m not saying that a violent Revolt is the only way, or even wanted, because I sure don’t want that for this Country. My point was, & I apologize for passing judgment on you, that Armed Revolt should never be taken off of the table. Also, I’m with you, that they would have to fire the first shot, before I’d personally take action. I have a wife & 3 children, I do not want a civil war in this Country, but if there were no other option, I will fight!!! I think our Government, & Obama’s Civilian Task Force, needs to understand this as well.
Peace
Thanks again for the responses Patriot. I think we are on the same page as far as this whole issue is concerned. Armed revolt should be the very last availabe option.
These people in power want us to get angry and lose control. Its like you said. A controlled, righteous anger is wat is needed in these town hall meetings. They need to know we are angry, however if we lose control of ourselves we will be deemed irrational and unruly as is already happening in the media.
I pray that those in positions of power will see the light. I pray that they wil take the correct course of action, which in my opinion is a complete restoration of the constitution. That encompases a lot of things. Until then my friend continue to inform yourself, your friends and family. Stay vigilant.
