“The People are finally waking up.”

I never trust anyone who says “The People are waking up”.  It suggests merely a perceived sway of political fortunes in their direction from a parcel of insanity — on a level that has never been seen in the history of America or the World.

“You mean Occupy?” I ask, obligingly.

“That’s part of it.  But no.  The people are buying guns.  Oregon alone had a record gun sale this year.  They’re getting ready.”
“Hm.”
“And they’ve gotten to Obama.  And make no mistake, Obama isn’t on our side… he’s with someone else.  The people have forced him to veto this bill passed by Congress which would set up internment camps.  This is real.  It’s not opinion.  It’s real.”
“OK.”
“That President.  He almost signed away our sovereignty at Coppenhagen.  He would have done so if he could have gotten away with it.  But he didn’t.  The People wouldn’t let him.  This was 2009.  Long before Occupy.”
“OK.”
“Because it’s the guns.”

I pass by a telephone pole with an odd image of Obama.  I guess.  “President Obama holds a press conference on the illegal activities of the Northwest Wacko Cult”.  I cannot really place this message politically.  I think it’s anti-Obama (elected off of style and image and with chants of “Yes We Can”, etc, while doing Wall Street’s bidding)… but it’s not really clear.  This competes against the latest iteration of a kind of obviously more Democratic Party activist who has moved back from some Perry jibes to … Romney… above the question “Who Let the Dogs Out?” — which is a reference to a forgotten piece of racial awkwardness from the 2008 campaign, and perhaps too an awkward dog travelling incident.
