What a Difference an Idealogy Makes

Lately the left has been accusing the right of all kinds of misbehavior at townhall meetings held by Congress members in their districts. Truth is, the right, while a bit noisy, is far more well-behaved than the left.

Pamela Geller at Atlas Shrugs and Michelle Malkin at Michelle Malkin have posted some comparisons and I place the links below for your edification.

And what about the beating in St. Louis that sent the victim to the hospital? That was leftists beating up a black conservative man.

If it was up to me, the townhalls would be much quieter because it is hard to hear what anyone says if a lot of people are yelling. I would rather see the conservatives asking pointed questions and making their comments one at a time into a microphone. Save the chants and yelling for the end if the Congressperson won't listen. However, a little well-behaved noise and signs making valid points are hardly mob mentality, nor are these people bussed in by insurance companies or the Republican National Committee. These are individuals who take themselves to these meetings, sometimes having to take off work to do it. These are individuals who are fed up with Obama and the Dems taking away our freedom and spending us into oblivion. They are also fed up with Obama's so-called foreign policy which consists of apologizing for America, making nice with our enemies, and betraying our friends.

It is the leftists who bus in groups and engage in mobbish thuggery. Then they project their own tactics onto peace-loving conservatives who are doing nothing worse than insisting that Congress represent their constituents accurately and remember that they work for us and not the other way around. That goes for President Obama and his czars and cabinet and everyone else he has surrounded himself with.

And what's up with the White House wanting American citizens to inform on one another?

America is a great country and many people recognize that it is past time to stop the politicians from wrecking it.
