Are we nearing critical mass?
State-run Media hammered home that April 19 was the anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing. They never once mentioned that it's also the anniversary of Lexington and Concord. Any question as to whose boots State-run Media licks?
Bill Clinton and The New York Times recently connected Tea Party Patriots to Timothy McVeigh. State-run Media and the Democrat Party continue to rain down with monsoon-like ferocity filthy insults such as Nazi, racist, extremist, and tea-bagger upon anyone who challenges Obama or Democrat-driven socialism.
Obama effortlessly lies that he created two million jobs, cut taxes, cut the deficit, and magnanimously allowed us to subsist under Government-run Health Care Rationing -- while his bobble-head, lick-spittle toadies in State-run Media try to out-do each other in carrying his bucket of bilge 24/7.
Is it any wonder that Obama smirkingly finds it amusing that the American people are shocked at the reality of rising joblessness, higher taxes, permanent huge deficits, rising fuel costs, rising food prices, and ever-expanding government control over their lives? He revels in their once-trusting gullibility that allowed his regime's rise to power.
The Democrat Congress and the Obama regime are systematically taking control of government from the people through non-legislative bureaucratic rule-making, political thuggery, abandonment of legislative rules and congressional traditions, and unaccounted disregard for the Constitution.
Pushing the limit
And yet Obama, the Democrat Congress, unions, State-run Media, radical special-interest groups, and RINOs feign ignorance as to why the American people aren't embracing their superior intellect and trusting in their brilliance to "make things better."
Activism is no longer the exclusive realm of extremists. Are the American people -- the real majority that actually creates the nation's wealth and respects its heritage -- reaching a critical political tipping point? Most reputable pollsters think so.
Here is the reality:
Americans don't want socialism. Americans don't want progressive fascism. The Democrat Party and Democrat-lite RINOs are deeply at odds with a majority electorate that no longer trusts them. As each day passes, more Americans are becoming angry at being deceived. And who can blame them? It turns out that watching Goldman Sachs, the United Auto Workers, public employee unions, and similar vampires drain the treasury at America's weakest moment in a generation will make a person pretty hacked off.
Common sense and reality
Before continuing, the following must be addressed. To be sure, there are some anarchists and bitter souls who cannot differentiate between a well-meaning but misguidedly spendthrift Bush and a full-blown leftist radical like Obama who will literally do anything, legal or otherwise, to first humble and then subjugate a free America.
In fact, I was stunned this week as two acquaintances contended that there was absolutely no difference between Bush and Obama. Sadly, such inanity not only reflects intellectual laziness but is dangerously close to revealing a moral pliancy. I hope it was the beer talking.
Because to even remotely compare any shortcomings of an unfortunately moderate President Bush to possibly the most narcissistic, disingenuous, dangerous, grudge-consumed, and destructive president America has ever known requires a prodigious, fantasy-like leap -- and a departure from reality.
Tearing America down
Welfare and payola schemes -- packaged in pretty political paper and lacy rhetorical ribbon -- and sold as "contributing your fair share" is nothing more than systematic wealth redistribution by force. It is thievery that is undermining our republic, and such malfeasance is growing the resentments in America. Tea Party Patriots believe that their government no longer represents their interests or values. The American Heartland is becoming dangerously alienated from the political class -- Americans now know these elites to be guilty of gross betrayal.
As identified in an article by Jeffrey Kuhner, the bitter debate over ObamaCare has exposed the country's profound divisions. We are no longer one nation or one people. Rather, there are now two Americas: one conservative, the other liberal. Increasingly, we no longer just disagree but we despise each other.
Our disagreements encompass everything -- politics, morality, culture, and history. We no longer share a unifying essence or common values. In an environment such as this, the center cannot hold, especially when State-run Media serves as the propaganda wing of the Obama regime.
The People no longer matter
It has become apparent to most that the Obama regime and the Democrat Congress have indeed divided America to a greater degree than even the chasm of the Vietnam Era. Obama is a pompous phony. He has no firm principles to which he will adhere. His only principle is his own aggrandizement and a belief that only he is capable of "saving" America by ensuring its mediocrity -- and transferring the wealth stolen from its people into the clutches of statist overseers.
We Americans used to assume that in the long run, the will of the American people would ultimately prevail. We believed that untoward diversions would be forced back to an acceptable center eventually.
The Obama regime and the Democrat Congress have exploded that line of reasoning. The will of the people was and continues to be openly, deliberately, and disdainfully ignored in pursuit of achieving long-desired socialist goals and a perpetuation of statist political power.
Critical mass
Unfortunately for America, those goals threaten the very fabric of the nation. The Obama regime has proven that it will do whatever it takes -- graft, lies, theft, coercion, and outright street violence -- to further its agenda.
Which brings us round to this: The seething angst and resulting activism being generated by common Americans -- average Americans who as little as two years ago would never publicly protest anything -- is growing. In seemingly unaligned and disparate but nevertheless numerous rallies across the nation, evidence of a commonly-held anger is bare for all to see.
Hence the vicious attacks on caring, hard-working, tax-paying, family-oriented, freedom-loving Americans by State-run Media, the Democrat Congress, and the Obama regime. Note to thugs: Keep it coming because you're fanning the flames.
Whether this anger snowballs into something large enough to upset entrenched political systems is an unknown, but this wide-ranging insurrection cannot bode well for the particular political class who now rule rather than serve. On this all pollsters agree: The American People, well beyond the Tea Partiers, now have the lowest opinion of government -- ever.
People aren't saying "I can see November from my house" for nothing.
Hype and Chains.
