Why Do We Tolerate This?

Everywhere I turn, I encounter people sighing and shaking their heads about the state of America.  Obamacare. the crumbling Obama-supported "Arab Spring". EPA destruction of energy. Benghazi. Fast & Furious. Intimidation and investigation of reporters. Harassment by the IRS of Conservatives and Christians. Heavy-handed violations of the First Amendment by Kathleen Sebelius. Open hostility to Catholics and Evangelicals. Stomping on States' Rights when they try to secure the border when the President refuses to do so, when they pass Voter ID laws to try to reduce Democratic cheating at the Polls, when they pass restrictions on late-term abortions.

Everybody reacts with a shrug, a sigh, and a regretful head shake. Who says we have to sit still for the destruction of our own country?  Isn't America founded of, by, and for the people?  And who are the people if not us?  Why do we just go about our daily business, which is crumbling under the ever-increasing tyranny of Obama's government?

Why have we not seen massive demonstrations surrounding the US Congress and White House by the millions, demanding the resignation of Barack Obama? Why have we allowed ourselves to be cowed by a media establishment that has been corrupted by the Democrat Socialist Left? The dishonest news media paints ordinary Americans who only believe in liberty and the American Dream as bible-thumping, shotgun-wielding rednecks who hate gays, blacks, hispanics, and union organizers.

So what? They're going to accuse us of all those things no matter what we do or say.  So why don't we stand up and demand a government that is responsive to the needs of the country, not just the needs of those willing to finance their next re-election campaign?  Why don't we demand that the unwieldy government be slashed to a level where it returns to doing only those essential things the founding fathers defined in the constitution? Why don't we demand that they stop focusing on distractions like gay marriage and amnesty for illegal aliens, and start focusing on the important things like national security and the economy?

Am I the only one who is fed up? Where are the leaders that can heroically wade through the storm of a Politically Correct Media to rally the true American people to set the country back to the greatest, most prosperous country in the history of the planet? Where's courage, principle, morality?

Will we all just continue to shake our heads and shrug our shoulders all the way to the new American Gulags?
