Open letter to Obama

Mr. President,
I heard you bloviating about how "amused" you are by us. We should THANK you for lower taxes, not protest. You mock and belittle, then want gratitude in return. We have no right protesting Gov't spending, if we use Social Security, Medicare or free schools. So that's it? Welfare-state benefits in return for silence? Tax-up employers who lay us off, raise insur. premiums, cut paychecks, and we should feel a tingle up our legs? Our grandkids have debt for life, and you want us purring like kittens? Social Security taken from paychecks, now it collapses; you ram thru unwanted Bills, consort with Union-Kings, extol despots, betray our friends; secret deals, bribes, and you want unquestioning compliance?
I know you don't get it, no idea where we're coming from. Just tax the "rich" and tame the peons. We won't notice when the rich pass their costs on to us. We should just lick your fingers like dutiful dogs as you hand us our opiate-freebies. We won't notice fees, fines, penalties, and new mandates imposed. Connive to make us more reliant on gov't, expect us to stand idly by while our society becomes lazier, unmotivated and dependant. Freedoms are beguiled from us in exchange for fallacious "security". How ungrateful.
Maybe you're right. We MIGHT one day surrender, passively wait in lines waiting for "Obama" money instead of working. We might add people to the Welfare system, bleed the middle class dry, leave only the impoverished "us" and the generous, superior "you" in ever-burgeoning, surf-lord relationships. We may decide it easier to play the two-bit mistress-whore, take a free apartment, shut our mouths; Better to be fat and safe, than struggling and free.
That day may come. But this is not that day. This day we will resist you, your social-seductions and soul-numbing bourgeois-mentality. This day we will educate ourselves with the Constitution and the original (only valid) Bill of Rights. This day we choose freedom and liberty over your security, and this day we speak out. If we lose, we will rise again. And if we lose again, we will keep rising.
You don't understand us, because you never knew us. Be amused, Mr. President, your distain for us is obvious; but I am not amused by you. Above all men, you are to be pitied. You will see us again.

A mother, a grandmother, and a relentless patriot,
Debbie K
