Anti-Government Sentiments
I just viewed President Obama being asked if he thought the strong opposition to his administration was racially motivated as soon have suggested. He said there may be some of that but suggested a number of alternatives to explain the opposition, such as people always oppose change and there are some people who are just anti-government.
What does anti-government include. Is it people who think government has just got too big and too intrusive in to their lives. Who hold the opinion that government has gotten out of control and spends like a drunken sailor (but a drunken sailor at least spends their own money). That government is for big business at the expense of the regular person. That government can’t be trusted. That government taxes us to death. That government is a control freak and wants us to dictate the way we lead our lives. Well if the above is anti-government, yes the President is correct that some people are anti-government and it seems the number of people with there sentiments are growing.
Are anti-government sentiments are growing? You would think so based on the Tea Parties and the anti-government protest by members of both political parties and independents. Anti-government protesters and name calling and true rage seem to be common in 2009 even in a non election year, which seems to be unusual and an indication anti-government sentiments are growing.
There is the observation that everyday people you know and meet in the public seem to be really really mad at the way things are going in the country and they seem to all blame the government. You can hardly have lunch with friends or associates without ending up with a conversation about the government and head shaking and a downward look at the floor.
Who are these people. It seems everyone is anti-government. TV networks, majoe political parties and other groups lay claim to these anti-government protests, but it seems the average participants despise both major political parties and are mostly upset and angry with the federal government and their handling of things.
So President Obama did make an observation that “some people are just anti-government”. He may realize soon it is a large and growing crowd of people that feel the anti-government sentiments. Will the reaction be a change of course?
Will growing anti-government sentiments lay the foundation for a third party movement leading up to the elections of 2012?

Anti government sentiment is being represented as the cause of the hanging of a government census working in rural kentucky.
The 51 year old Mr. Sparkman was found this month hanged from a tree near a Kentucky cemetery with the word “fed” scrawled on his chest, a law enforcement official said Wednesday, and the FBI is investigating whether he was a victim of anti-government sentiment.
Well I think the writer is correct, that this is a case of anti-government sentiment. Sounds like they got the low man on the totem pole, who was just trying to earn some retirement income, rather than the policy makers in Washington DC.
