Why are people protesting?

The left have been famous for all their protests over the years, from the 60s antiwar days, through Nixon and Watergate, to Bush and Iraq. They have manned their signs, and made their displeasure known. They have become experts at expressing their First Amendment Rights, but let the left be the brunt of the protests, and they start screaming foul right away. The Obama Administration seems to be getting frustrated with being the subject of protests, so much that he is asking for his minions to report people to the White House. Why? Is the White House afraid of people expressing their Constitutional Rights? Is the White House collecting the names of protesters (which would be illegal)?

The left is famous for trying to dissuade people on the right from speaking out. They have tried to describe anyone protesting on the right as being nut cases, wing nuts, and even when they themselves are reluctant to call Islamic radicals terrorists, they have described Americans who do not accept their every whim, proposal and idea as being homeland terrorists. Why? This is an effort to shut down opposition for their plan.

Underway right now in America, is a movement by the powers in place to change the fundamental structure of our system. From one of constitutional republic with free-markets and free-peoples to one of an authoritarian socialist oligarchy, controlled by an non-elected powerful handful of socialist elites. Obama has already placed the skeletal framework around the Executive Branch in the form of unelected, but appointed Czars of every description. For what purpose? To make policy and setup the future government or establish the next system? We don't know, and we are scared to death of what might be in store for us.

This is why people are scared to death. Americans cherish their freedoms, and don't want them jeopardized or infringed upon.  They love having choice and being free to make the choices they desire.  It is the basic reason people are not accepting Obama's health care plan, cash for clunkers program and a number of other programs he has put in place. The President elected with a huge popular mandate has gone from one who could have gotten anything passed by this legislature to one viewed with suspicion and duplicity. First, he broke almost all of his campaign promises (no lobbyists, openness, non partisanship, innovator of change, and tax cutter for the middle class) to one of being a bitter partisan, who tries to lay every wrong on his predisessor who has subjugated the process with all these Czars, has put America on the path to financial ruin and now appears will have to increase middle-class taxes to keep the Chinese money coming in.

Americans of all stripes are getting scared, and now this huge takeover of their health care system has them frightened to the point they are beginning to resist one of the most popular Presidents who has had the wind at his back for most of his early proposals.
