I grew up with a very ethnic surname - you know the kind of name always used for the Mafia hit man in the movies. So I am used to being suspected of being a relative of some "godfather." But now the U.S. Government has declared that I am a member of a MOB! And I have AstroTurf growing under my feet! And my clothes are from Brooks Brothers!
Lord Almighty, is this what the American voters wanted when they voted for Hope and Change? An outright assault on the citizenry? The same citizenry that goes to work every day (well not so much anymore), starts the small businesses that employ other Americans, and provides the revenue to fuel the economy? The people who bought houses that they could afford and paid their mortgages. The people who attend church on Sunday and contribute to charities. People who believe that compassion is to be nurtured but personal responsibility is to be revered.
I attended Tea Parties this year, on April 15th and July 4th, and I saw the wonder of a real grass roots movement of everyday Americans: elderly folks, families with kids, college kids, middle age couples, all who carried flags and home made signs of protest for a government out of control and spending money that does not exist, taking over private corporations and destroying free markets, ignoring the will of the People. A government that now wants to determine who gets medical care and who does not, and which will mandate counseling the elderly about how to die prematurely just to save Uncle Sam a few bucks. Never mind what they and their family want.
The most recent outrage instituted by the Obama administration is the call to snitch on fellow Americans. From the White House website:
Bloggers are promoting a mass effort called Operation Go Flag Yourself encouraging readers and other bloggers to turn themselves in to the White House. What fun, let's all do it!
The Politico (August 5, 2009) quotes Democrat strategist and former Clintonista, Lanny Davis as saying:
So now we have an outright governmental assault on the grass roots movement of individuals who found each other and formed alliances thanks to the Internet and alternate media. But more important, we found each other because we are like-minded and we love our country and our freedoms and we want them back.
This assault on tea party and health plan protestors, stating that we are paid pawns of the Republicans or the insurance industry, is absurd. I would love to be paid for my efforts protesting this tyranny because self-employment is no longer providing a living. So if you folks in the government know who is paying tea party protestors please let me know cuz I need a paying job. And I never bought clothes from Brooks Brothers, right now Wal-Mart is all I can afford - that is until your labor union friends and their allies in Congress destroy it too. Then all those folks who would not otherwise be able to get a real job and folks who shop Wal-Mart because it is an affordable option for goods and services will have nowhere to go. But that is what you want isn't it Mr. Obama? Total dependence of "the masses" on government, the basis for a "benign dictatorship" of the (so-called) intelligentsia.
Rush Limbaugh sent a message on his August 5th show to the head honcho, formerly known as the community organizer:
A Community Organizer Can't Bitch When Communities Organize
A government that has forgotten that it is of the people, by the people, for the people will perish from this earth.

There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there,
spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors
often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual
conversation. Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House,
we’re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web
about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov.

The Politico (August 5, 2009) quotes Democrat strategist and former Clintonista, Lanny Davis as saying:
Let’s have the media name names, publish photographs, and do interviews of those
responsible for approving, even organizing these techni[q]ues. And let’s find an
investigative journalist - are there many left - to prove these so-called
grassroots shouters are, or are not, being paid.

This is an example of the typical astroturf mobster
