Jim DeMint to Obama, “Americans are awake, they’re informed, and they’re outraged”
Yesterday two million people descended on Washington to protest this administrations spending and the growth of big government. Jim DeMint was one of the speakers and here is some of what he had to say:
I think you all know that the president has warned us that if we disagree with him, he is going to call us out,” said DeMint. “Okay, Mr. President, we are out. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Waterloo
It is not a personal battle against President Obama or a partisan battle,” said DeMint. “It is a battle between big government collectivism and freedom-loving Americans. The stakes are high. Will we continue to hold tightly to the principles of freedom that made America the most exceptional, prosperous and compassionate nation in history? Or will we fall for the false hope and empty promises of more government solutions?
“Will we continue to climb the mountain of personal responsibility, free markets, Judeo-Christian values, and constitutional limited government?” asked DeMint. “Or will we sink into the pit of high taxes, suffocating debt and socialism?”
It is time that the President and the Congress stop lecturing us and start listening to us,” said DeMint. “Too many Americans have fought and died for our freedom for us to give it away with apathy and silence. The majority of the politicians here in Washington seem to think that Americans are either asleep or stupid. But you proved today that Americans are awake, they’re informed, and they’re outraged
Now they are telling us they want to control the most personal part of our lives: our health care,” said DeMint. “We must stop this government takeover of health care. And we must force the President and Congress to fix what’s broken instead of replacing what’s working. We cannot allow the government to control one-sixth of our economy and we cannot put bureaucrats between Americans and their doctors.
“Freedom fighters are outnumbered in Congress, but not across America,” said DeMint. “We are winning this fight, and if you continue to stand up and speak out, we will save freedom in America
Wow! Jim DeMint hit a homerun with his speech! He summed everything up.
This is not a protest about the man Barack Obama, this is not a protest founded because of the color of Barack Obama, but that is how it is being portrayed. This is a protest about Barack Obama’s policies. Jim DeMint drove that point home.
I also agree that the president sounds lecturing when he speaks to us, he sounds as if he doesn’t believe that we know what is for our own good. So he tells us that it is time to stop bickering and it is time to fall in with his ideas and he will take care of us. Yesterday should show the president that the time for bickering debating these issues are not over. He cannot wave the magic wand and end debate on an issue this important. THE TIME FOR DEBATE IS NOW! Barack Obama is the one that needs to grow up and understand that he can’t have everything his way, he will have to compromise.
We are winning this fight, we have now been heard from in large numbers. The media and the politicians are going to have to pay attention now. They cannot laugh off and discredit such a large gathering in Washington DC. This was a real protest by real Americans who are frustrated with the direction of the country.
Jim DeMint spoke to this crowd and voiced our objections to this president’s agenda perfectly. It is good to know that we still have some voices in Washington that will fight for us. Hopefully enough of them are listening to us and we will be able to defeat this bill.
If the politicians were paying attention yesterday, and I think that they were, they know that the American people are outraged and are not going to stand for this any longer. Yesterday could have been the turning point in this debate. Someday we may look back on this time and say that September 12th 2009 was the day that we took back our country.
America's Watchtower 
It should be: “Right-wing Americans are (barely) awake, they’re misinformed, and they’re outraged (because they don’t know what they’re talking about)”

You continue to come here (which I am grateful for) and offer nothing but insults to those that disagree with you. Why don’t you try debating what I write rather than just hurl insults?

Fred, you seem to have a problem with facts. 60-70 thousand people attended the nut-job rally in D.C. yesterday. About 1.8 million attended Obama’s inauguration. 60-70 thousand is less than 1.8 million. And http://drudgeretort.wordpress.com is my blog. Check it out! 🙂

My sentiments exactly. It’s about time that the left stopped accusing the right of racism every time we disagree with the policies of President Obama. On my own blog, I have went out of my way to make sure it is clear that my problem with the President has nothing to do with his color, but nearly every time I post something negative about his policies, I receive a comment that questions if I am not at least a little racist. Once and for all, it is not racism to disagree with the man and the way he is expanding government.

It shows us that the left has no retort, they understand that Obama’s policies are unpopular and they cannot defend them and still hope that he wins re-election. That means the only option left for them is to try to delegitimize those of us who opose him.

Obama and his supporters have played the race card at every turn and its beginning to hurt them and quite frankly I’m glad. Obama with his radical policies will make it very difficult for a black man to win that office again in the near future. Obama has setback the cause of his people and not helped it. Its sad, but thats is whats happening.

As soon as Novembers election is completed and the Democrats begin packing for their mass exodus from Congress and the Senate, it would be advantageous for Polosi, Reid, Obama, Franks, the entire MSNBC group of incompetent journalist pretenders, the Hollywood group of demented self proclaimed stars, the liberal left, the militant left, and the pro socialists to fold up their belongings and head towards the far far far East. When they reach Siberia they should set up camp and spend their time thinking about how great it was living the the greatest nation in the world, and giving that up for the ‘splender’ of the siberian abyss.
If only this comes true!

I myself wouldn’t weep for the dismantling of affirmative action but this mess didn’t come out of a vacuum. The institutionalized abuse of affirmative action quotas got its head of steam up in the 70’s with the bureaucratically entrenched exploitation of resentment and grievance and here we are: some rich white chick trading on her mythical Native American “heritage” because she tell us, she was lonely, and hoped to be invited to Amerinda dances.
