The wheels are falling off the Hope’n’change bus. Obama’s popularity is falling and the Town Hall meetings designed to flog the socialist Obamacare system to a disbelieving electorate has run in to a storm of protests.

Yes folks, the SPLC say that milita groups who hate the government, don’t like taxes and can’t stand the idea of a half-black President who might or might not be from Kenya running a bankrupt economy at full tilt towards a socialist chasm are apparently on the rise again.

They might also wish to consider whether, in the desire to write reports on religious extremists who hate the US government, they might just have missed a more obvious section of society to worry about.
