I don't know if you have had a "chance" to see these clips the Liberals are putting out. (BTW, I haven't seen anyone wearing swastikas)

Obama's approval rating has sunk to 50%; his index is at -8%. I think that is why they (Democrats, MSNBC, NBC, New York Times, etc.) have turned up the rhetoric. I know it is hard for them to imagine that anyone would ever question them.
When I go to the rallies, people I talk to are like me. They have never done this before. They have sat on their butts and now are absolutely fed up! However, we have no one to blame but our apathetic selves. We sit on our butts and complain and argue with each other, but we have never confronted our "representatives" with pointed questions, and then, have the audacity to expect them to answer the questions!
I took an oath when I joined the USN that "I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic", well I got out 21 years ago, and it time to stand up and do it again. The oath didn’t expire 21 years ago. What are you prepared to do?

Top link is the same as the bottom one, by the way.
Would you say this is the same constituency as the teabaggers?
What is this saying? I'm reading a bit of wild "buy guns and ammo and head for the hills" stuff on the web - is social breakdown close in any part of the US, as far as you can see?
Teabaggers, not sure how to take that since it is a derogatory term. I will assume you mean the Tea Party Patriots.
The move away from Constitutionalism and towards Progressivism didn’t start with this administration, like I have blogged before; this started with Teddy Roosevelt and greatly accelerated under FDR. Ronald Reagan was the only president in the last century that dialed it back. Bush 43 started it heavily with the TARP last year, and now, since the last election it is going at light speed.
There are a growing number of organizations, like the Minutemen, Civil Defense Corps, the Peaceful Resistance, the Constitution Party, the Young Conservatives, the 9/12 Project, Grassfire, etc. Right now, they are fragmented, each focused on their own cause. But, sometime in the next two years, our government is going to do something really stupid and these groups will come together.
There are citizens in the US that are ready to fight to shut down the government's grab of personal freedom, its blatant abuse of the constitution, and its attempt to replace the American way of life with socialism.
I love this country. As I said, I took an oath when I joined the USN that "I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic".
I beg your pardon. No offense was intended. I've seen "teabagger" on sites without realising it was derogatory.
Otepoti- Count yourself special you didn't know the term. I had to look it up myself. Its a rather crude term that I will abstain from describing here though I have posted on it. No harm, no foul- "play on" as they say.
I would say it includes the TEA Party folks as well as a number of additional folks including Seniors. I also believe its being vastly underestimated.
Otepoti, assumed you were fortunately unfamiliar with the term. No worries.
As Eutychus said, I too believe the movement is vastly underestimated. This has been building for decades from the silent majority.
I know I for one am completely fed up with the way we have been treated by our government, if you couldn't tell from my post.

Oh. Well. (Blushes.) "Special" (in the teenage usage, i.e. "intellectually handicapped" (predicated on "special education")) is just how I feel, to have made such a gaffe.
I'm sure that there'd be a different term for you-know-what here, and even if I knew it, I'd never tell you that it had to do with pickling and walnuts.
Never mind. On to the point at hand.
It occurs to me that the American and his Constitution bears resemblance to the Christian and his Bible, with similar problems, viz., how far can indiviudal interpretation reach before the church schisms?
It worries me, frankly, to hear you say:
There are citizens in the US that are ready to fight to shut down the government's grab of personal freedom, its blatant abuse of the constitution, and its attempt to replace the American way of life with socialism.
The Constitution has been invoked on opposing sides of many issues. How can you tell that your interpretation is the right one, and would it be worth the cost, possibly in human lives?
Cheers
