Why are they yelling at me?

I really don’t like being yelled at, particularly when I have done nothing to deserve it. Worse, it is extremely distasteful when it’s the President of the United States doing the yelling. I was passing through the kitchen area at work, where the lefties keep the TV tuned to CNN. They were broadcasting the President's first bailout town hall meeting. there he was, yelling at me. Why would he do that?

The situation reminded me of two images: 1) The story of a preacher, while preparing a sermon put a notes in the margin that said “Raise voice and pound the pulpit here, the point is weak; and 2) The dictator in the move “V for Vendetta” who used fear of terrorism as the unifying factor to impose a (progressive) fascist state and keep the people in line. Rahm Emmanuel’s “Never waste a good crisis” is being acted out, and Americans are being berated by the President with a Media echo chamber / cheering section doing everything they can to ensure that we and future generations of Americans are enslaved to create wealth and keep the left permanently in power.

We are rapidly moving towards fulfillment of two futuristic images of the future. “1984” portray a patriarchal world where big brother is watching and “Brave new World” portrays a matriarchal one where the state is a nanny for the people providing all good things. Naturally we will probably have a mixture of the two. “V for Vendetta” foreshadows our current situation with the President scaring us in to believing that without enactment of the bailout, we will have an economic collapse. Meanwhile, congressional sleight of hand in the bailout is sending lots and lots of money ($1.5 trillion is the new anticipated total) to organizations that hate America and wish to remake it in a utopian image that removes individual freedom and impose a super welfare state where we are dependent on the central government for everything.

So, when you are listening to all of the progressive talking heads on TV, ask ‘why are they raising their voices to make a point? Are they afraid of a debate? Or perhaps, like the preacher, their “point is weak.” All this “change” is giving me “hope” that Americans will not tolerate it for long.
