The Angry Right

In the 1960s, with inner-cities ablaze and the American college campus afire with anti-Vietnam fervor, "the angry left" became a buzz word. Today, a tide is rising in America that brings home that sixties sentiment but this time from the right. With the left firmly entrenched in elective office, the right feels the corridors of power are closed to them. With Republicans and Democrats both seemingly only interested in protecting their perks, not representing their constituents, certainly not advancing our power or sovereignty, and certainly not abiding by the US Constitution, a multitude in the land feels they have no voice at all and no redress for grievances. We feel disenfranchised and the political class proves it is only interested in protecting itself. In the health care debate, the Democrats sink to a new low by specifically excluding Congress from the plan that they are going to impose on the rest of us. Both parties have steadfast adherents to the hoax of man-caused global climate change with almost all Democrats and far too many Republicans willing to trade freedom and the potential of a return to cheap energy prosperity, legislated and regulated out of existence to grease the palms of large corporations (GE comes immediately to mind) and cronies. There are of course many leftists ready to follow the Obama party line, and still some of the ignorant, afflicted with apathy, but many Americans are waking up and they are growing in their ire as they see our foundational freedoms, our economic self-determination, our borders all torn asunder.
