| | | You're right, GZ. The reality is that MORE THAN 9 out of 10 people disapprove of Congress! The members of Congress are deeply loathed and despised by the overwhelming majority of people [1].
It's not only a partisan hatred either. Many leftists hate their Democratic elected officials, and many conservatives hate our RINO elected officials, so the hatred is not exclusively directed at the opposite Party. Like most conservatives, I view the RINOs as no different from the Democrats. They are completely contemptuous and traitorous criminals who deserve capital punishment under the U.S. Constitution.
The disturbing reality is that Congress routinely passes laws that most people are bitterly opposed to, such as TARP, Obamacare, and the new Senate rules that you wrote about. The vast majority of people are strongly and bitterly opposed to these bitterly contentious laws. With that in mind, I don't understand why a full-scale violent revolt hasn't transpired. Is it the Bread and Circuses effect? Fear? A combination of both? Something else?
How is it that Congress, which has an approval rating of less than 10%, is able to pass all of these laws that everyone detests as much as they despise the members of Congress? It makes no sense. What in the hell is going on? This is simply madness! How are they getting away with these crimes?
No one among us wants to live in a dictatorship, GZ, yet that is exactly what the United States has become. The government constantly imposes its will against citizens in the face of overwhelming opposition and NO support; and how can anyone say there is not overwhelming opposition? TARP, Obamacare, and the new Senate rules have NO support whatsoever. The same is true for amnesty, which the government is destined to pass.
The graphic bellows shows the most recent Congressional approval ratings. Fewer than 1 in 10 people oppose Congress, yet citizens are sitting around and not taking back our country in defense of the Constitution.
I think that it is clear that multiculturalism has killed patriotism and created disunity among the descendants of the Founding Fathers.
