MCCLATCHY NEWSPAPERS


"WASHINGTON — Already wary of the federal government, Americans have
grown even more critical, less trusting and even fearful of Uncle Sam
since President Barack Obama took office, according to an exhaustive
new study being released Monday.


The in-depth poll found Americans not only rejecting the idea of an
activist government, but a growing number urging that its power be
curtailed. The findings reinforce the anti-big government message of
tea party rallies and suggest anew that incumbents, particularly
Democrats, face a strong headwind in this fall's elections for control
of Congress.


"By almost every conceivable measure, Americans are less positive and
more critical of government these days," said the report from the non-
partisan Pew Research Center...."


Countdown to November you will Remember.

Gun-toting protesters voice violent thoughts peacefully
By Dana Milbank

"They came in camouflage and ammunition vests, carrying AK-47s slung
over their shoulders and pistols in their hip holsters. They were in
Northern Virginia, on the 15th anniversary of the Oklahoma City
bombing, to stand on federal land and to voice violent thoughts.

They did this in a strictly nonviolent fashion, naturally.

"Let me hang out my shingle," Mike Vanderboegh shouted to the 75
armed
men and women at Fort Hunt Park in Alexandria on Monday morning.
Vanderboegh, leader of the "Three Percent" movement, slammed down a
brick on the stage bearing the Roman numeral III.

This was a reference to his call for his followers to "break the
windows of hundreds, thousands of Democrat Party headquarters" after
health-care legislation passed. Some of them did as they were told....

......The Pew Research Center just released the results of a poll
showing
that 77 percent of Americans are frustrated or angry with the federal
government. One manifestation of that is the 363 new patriot groups
in
2009 -- a 244 percent increase from the previous year -- documented
by
the Southern Poverty Law Center. As militia leader Bob Wright from
New
Mexico put it to the crowd: "Two years ago, most of us were screaming
at the TV, and our wives wondered why we didn't just shut up. . . .
We've seen an entire change in our country."......"
