Fearful feelings

Okay, I'm not so much fearful as I am apprehensive to discuss my feelings about this administration. But I am so frustrated, so angry, so annoyed, so ticked-off and really wonder what I can do about their incompetency and short-sighted idiocy. I've written my congressmen and the president. My opinions hold no sway. I attended the St. Louis Tea Party, which revealed to myself how I am not a demonstrative, picketing person. But this AIG bonus blow-up has just ticked me off. No, not that these executives received bonuses but that Congress and even our president our "Acting" stunned that the executives would receive bonuses. You see, it was in the bill that our congress and our president signed that the executives would receive these bonuses. They knew. They knew weeks ago. (Or perhaps they didn't know because no body read it! And that's even more infuriating!) And now they "ACT" all indignant and high and mighty. It's bull. Pure, simple bull. And it keeps coming. They're rhetoric is tiring and insincere.

But what I'm fearful about is this report that apparently if I harbor these feelings of disgust I could be considered a domestic terrorist. I wonder if the White House, in it's recent display of going after individual commentators/journalists, is searching for other disgruntled citizens. Is there a congressional watch-dog group ready to round-up those who speak ill of their efforts through letter-writing, blogging, attending demonstrations, etc?  What is a concerned citizen to do? Thomas Paine said we need Common Sense. Some guy pretending to be Thomas Paine brings it to the 21st century.

Shephard Smith had a great reaction. Thankfully he's on the air and heard by millions.

To end, I am not fearful. My hope is in the One who holds all governments. He is the beginning and the end. He loves His creation. He loves me. His ways are for my good and when I fall into them I live in peace and contentment regardless of the situations around me. I trust in Jesus.
