James Fallows: people are close to a revolt
http://www.readersupportednews.org/opinion2/277-75/7397...
I've never actually written to a journalist before, but I was one of the 1,252 people arrested this weekend in front of the White House. I also live in the rural Midwest and your source is right. People are close to revolt. I think it will be a five year process of movement building, but even my very conservative staff of library assistants all cheered me on when I told them what I was doing. The people I interact with here and the ones I met in DC are all fed-up at a deep and fundamental level.
All of the people I know who are capable of rational thought also understand that the combination of (we're rural so pretty much everyone gets climate change) climate change and energy issues, lack of jobs, and the refusal of government to provide us with basic services means that a new revolutionary social movement is needed. Food prices are soaring, gas prices are making it hard for people to get to low paying jobs, and the amount of suffering because of lack of access to medical care is dire.
I sent a staff person home today (without pay since she's part-time) with a draining ear infection and a high fever. She also has a mass in her abdomen. She has no insurance and she's divorced with children and her ex also has no money. She is paying her bills with what I would call scam student loans that will eventually ruin her. These people are getting closer and closer to the point where we will have fundamental break-down of law and order.
Its middle of the night, no one at the campfire...
BUT. Everything in the article is Obama's fault...DU rules...this is racist, right? No mere citizen dares revolt against enlightened Democrat rule. They're only here to help.

Hey, it's bush's fault...if not him, then it's the Joooos fault....and if that don't stick, as a final resort....It's chris_'s fault....it's always someone elses fault.

Are you sure? Can you prove it? Do you have scientific proof? But more importantly, do you have Al Gore on your side with a movie and a consensus of scientist?
What does Nadin have to say about this?

"She also has a mass in her abdomen. "

the refusal of government to provide us with basic services
What in the world is this cretin talking about? Haircutting services? Dogwalking services? Home cleaning services? Limo service? Restaurant service? Pool cleaning service? Lawn & landscaping service? What in the hell does he want?

The problem is both halves of the country are ready for a revolt. Only, the left half wants MORE government and MORE of your taxpayer dollars for themselves, and the other half wants less government and taxes. Let's just split the difference and split up the US, and watch the liberal portions wallow in failure and poverty.

They were applauding 'cause odds were good that you wouldn't be able to make bail.

Why didn't the liberal-DUche pay her? Liberal-DUches only do what the government compels them to do? We all know that liberal-DUches do not freely donate to charity (Biden gave under $200 in 2008) but are more than happy to extol their generous nature of stealing from others to give to themselves and to buy votes.

They may have been pleased that this vile bitch would be gone for a while, but unless it's a Code Pink meeting, no group anywhere will
cheer on a moonbat planning to travel to D.C. for the purpose of being arrested. This is a half-assed bouncy.

I did something I normally don't do--I got out the Zodiac and went over to the island, to see that campfire. Only 16 replies total. Warren Stupidity is certainly living up to his/her name. Odin2005 is flat-out stupid, too.

Library assistants?!? Oh shit, we're doomed, doomed do you hear?
:panic:
:whatever:

What makes them think any revolt is going to be pro their cause?

They represent THE PEOPLE!!!!!!111!!!eleventyOneone!!1
And in between their two (collectively) brain cells, that fallacy is all that is needed.

Sounds awfully similar to those Five Year Plans the Soviets and Chinese so loved. How'd those work out?
refusal of government to provide us with basic services
Ever stop to think it isn't, nor was it ever, the purpose of government to provide for your basic needs? That maybe, just maybe, it might be, oh, YOUR ****ING RESPONSIBILITY???
She is paying her bills with what I would call scam student loans
So you're basically admitting that she's committing a felony, and you do nothing? Oh, BTW--there ARE services which will take care of her. Charities, even. Although I doubt you'd want her to go. Many are religious-based, although proselytizing isn't among the services they provide.
