Barack Obama and the Democrats in Congress are afraid of us. Despite the belief that the overwhelming victory Obama achieved in the November election gave him a mandate do destroy the very foundation of our country through a wholesale change of our economic system to socialism, Obama knows there is unrest among the heartland of America.

He knows that he has finally awakened a sleeping giant. He knows that an apathetic nation of lemmings that will go along with every pork barrel project and entitlement program without resistance no longer exists. Obama and the Democrats know that even though Americans want health care reform, they do not want socialized medicine. They know that most of us do not want our taxes raised to such punitive levels that a real stimulus of the economy will not be possible.

Most Americans are fully aware that the economic stimulus package which was signed into law before nobody read it will make our grandchildren pay for it through such an exorbitant tax rate in their lifetime that there will be no incentive to want to work hard to achieve real wealth.

Obama is fully cognizant of the fact that most Americans want immigration reform, but not through a blanket amnesty program which will grant citizenship to those who broke the law to get into this country. He knows that Americans want border security and protection from those who might enter our country to do us harm.

Obama is also aware that our nation faces great threats from radical Islam. The attacks of September 11th were just the beginning. Subsequent to that horrific day, George W. Bush kept this nation safe, instituting policies that some refer to as torture, but which nonetheless yielded specific information which prevented more massive death and destruction. Obama has laid down our arms and surrendered to the forces of evil despite what the citizens of the United States want, and has left us vulnerable to another attack while he apologizes to the world for our arrogance.

Obama and the Democrats know he faces opposition from mainstreet America, reflected through the popularity of talk radio, the blogosphere, and the number of grassroots organizations that have begun springing up since his election. Obama knows all too well that since November, a nation deeply concerned for its safety, has begun purchasing firearms and ammunition at an accelerated pace, begun storing food, water and supplies, and preparing for a time of great turmoil and unrest.

Obama also knows that America is turning back to God.

That is why the National Day of Prayer was ignored by the first president since its inception during the Truman administration. Obama and the Democrats want religion to go away, to have Americans worship on their knees only to the State, as it is the god that will provide everything its citizens need from cradle to grave.

To that end, the government, led by Obama and the Democrats, wants to silence the opposition. Plans are underway to destroy free speech through the return of the Fairness Doctrine or some reasonable facsimile. Obama also wants to be able to shut down the Internet at a moment's notice, under the guise that during an attack on this nation, the government needs to be able to prevent this conduit of information from being mishandled. New hate crimes legislation will turn any talk of the Bible and religious teaching into hate speech, punishable by fines and imprisonment, as well as the closing of churches and synagogues. He wants to put restrictions on the sale of firearms and ammunitions, to the point that guns will virtually be banned. A nation's right to protect itself will be taken away.

What Obama and the Democrats do not understand, however, is the resolve of the American people. The grass roots organizations and movements that have begun springing up across this nation are not to be dismissed as insignificant. A resistance movement has indeed begun. This movement is not divided along party lines. There are liberals and conservatives, Republicans and Democrats who are beginning to see that governmental oppression of its citizens through excessive taxation and the redistribution of wealth is wrong. There are those on all sides of the political spectrum that want border control, protection of human life, sovereignty, and national security using whatever methods are necessary to save this nation from another attack from those who would seek to destroy us.

Obama and the Democrats know this and they are afraid. All of the attempts to quash this opposition are being borne out of fear. Fear that a citizenry angered by a sharp turn away from what the founding fathers intended for this great country is fueling what will soon be oppression of a people.
