Missed this poll a few days ago from Rasmussen:
…A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 39% of Likely U.S. Voters believe the federal government currently operates within the limits established by the Constitution of the United States.
Forty-four percent (44%) disagree and say it is not functioning within those limits, while another 17% aren’t sure…
There is a growing conviction among the American people that the government is not at all in tune with American attitudes. You can see it just about everywhere – people who wonder where the common sense has gone. And while this is stronger on the right than on the left, it does cut across partisan lines a great deal.
Why are we bailing out GM? Why are banks continually being bailed out? Why is the Federal Reserve printing money? Why is there even an argument about keeping the lower tax rates? Why are unemployment benefits continued indefinitely? Everyone with any sense at all can see that we’re doing stupid, counter-productive things…but here comes the Ruling Class in government and big business, all telling us that we must do all this or we’ll all die, or whatever scare tactic they’re using at the moment.
While many on the left and almost all in the Ruling Class are trying to talk themselves in to believing that the TEA Party is a flash in the pan, the reality is otherwise. People are still furious – and they are now watching the GOP like a hawk to ensure they do what they are supposed to do. The warnings that the GOP may go “too far” in hammering Big Government is just Ruling Class propaganda – they are trying to scare off the weak sisters in the GOP and convince them to knuckle under. As far as most people are concerned, when it comes to controlling government, you can’t go “too far”.
The revolutionary ferment in the United States has not only not finished, it hasn’t even peaked. All that it takes to keep stoking these fires is to see government continuing on the path of incompetence – which looks to be the case as, let’s face it, with control of the House, the GOP can’t really stop the insanity. At best, we can slow it down – stopping it will take a complete overturn of government.
And that is what, I think, we’ll get in 2012 – unless there is a completely un-predicted and very massive turn around in the American condition, the American Fury will just continue to grow – and do astounding things in November of 2012.
