Where is Our Voice?

Declaration of Independence
Like millions of other citizens I am angry; like millions of other citizens I am inflamed about the direction our country is heading; and it’s not just about the trillions of dollars being stuck up a hogs butt. I am angry because we are screaming and no one is listening. We have no voice.
Whether anyone wants to admit it or not, Conservatives are an oppressed people. Millions of citizens playing by the rules, following the law, paying their taxes, doing as their government demands them to do only to be told they don’t count. We have no voice.
I read countless articles and blogs. I listen to numerous talking heads. I watch as commentators and talk show hosts lament the direction our country is heading. I watch Senators and Congressmen give long blustery speeches and yet I haven’t seen a single one of them risk his reputation to stand up and scream like Howard Beale, “I’m mad as hell, and I’m not going to take it anymore.” Millions of citizens grumbling about deficits, bailouts, and socialism are being ignored. We have no voice; we have no leader.
The revolutionaries who founded this country did so because they had no voice in the government which oppressed them. We have elections in which we put representatives in office, but they don’t represent us. How can they represent us when they don’t listen to us? Not even the Republican Party represents us; to wit, the three traitors who sold out their party, their constituents, and their country. We have no voice; we need a leader.
Who among us has the fire and the life of our founding fathers burning within his soul and is willing to stand up and scream, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” Who among us has the ability and the courage to risk everything, possibly even life itself, to lead us out of this bondage and into the freedom our nation once represented? Show me that man and I will follow him to the ends of the earth.
