The State Of Things In Politics
At least as I see them, and admitting that I wouldn’t have been quite so optimistic as this even six months ago, is improving from a conservative viewpoint, though it will be impossible to avoid the great cost to the next couple of generations of Americans the far left controlled Democrats have wrought.
Not to mention that to be endured by those of us who probably still have two or three decades to go before we hit the exit.
I believe in the American system, and even though it seemed like that system was fading away without a whimper {Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid driving the House and Senate, each with a heavy hand and Barack Obama having brought the famously corrupt Chicago political machine with him to the White House; a triumvirate of anti-Constitutionalism and pure socialism with communist overtones and a quiet war on the morality, the sanctity of life and the sense of sovereignty enjoyed under the law by each and every state in the Union}, economy crippling, government expanding legislation like ObamaCare and Cap & Trade being forced down the gullet of a mostly unwilling population by politicians who see themselves as mandated to tell us what’s good for us whether we agree to it or not, and enforce their will by criminalizing non-compliance, the tide is turning.
I was pleasantly surprised when the Tea Party movement materialized, seeming to spring from the Townhall meeting clashes between angry voters and the very legislators responsible for their ire.
Suddenly, Americans had had enough of the bail-outs, the “stimulus” event that was nothing more than the far left trinity now ruling, with an iron fist in charge of the country blatantly stealing money from the taxpayers while also plunging us deeply into an unprecedented* thirteen trillion dollar national debt.
The American people have realized that those running the government are abusing their respective offices in order to transform our country into something no right thinking American wants it to become, and as Americans do when we are backed into a corner by our own government, we are initiating a correction.
House and Senate incumbents in both parties are getting comeuppances in primaries around the country as the Tea Partyers raise large sums of money from fed up Americans, using the donations to enlighten the voters in various districts as to what the men and women representing them in Washington have been up to and what it’s doing to their nation, to them and, later, to their children and grandchildren. “Alternative” candidates are being pushed to replace incumbents, even by their own parties. Democrats and Republicans alike.
What we’re witnessing is a bloodless revolution, friends, that will only intensify as November draws gradually closer.
No matter how hard the left wing mainstream media fights to convince We, The People that the Tea Partyers are just a bunch of racist neocons making noise, the “tea baggers” are proving them to be the effluent propagandists and liars they are, so far removed from the principled, impartial, truth respecting, responsible journalists who once set a standard that made membership in the Fourth Estate a respectable distinction, that they have become.
And now they’re on the run. The media have become so incredibly farfetched in their attempts to justify the lefties on the Hill and in the White House that they really do look stupid, and the politicians they protect and support aren’t looking much better.
A bunch of D.C. Democrat incumbents who sold out their fellow Americans, including their own constituents, by foisting the healthcare bill on us are, right out of the blue, experiencing the need to “spend more time with their families”.
Translation: They know they’ll be soundly humiliated if they run for reelection and, for their egos’ sake, are returning to the private sector.
The long and the short of it is, patriotic Americans are fighting the good fight to get our country back, and if the constantly growing voter backlash continues, the leftist element that’s taken control will be swept out for years to come, the final battle that which sends Obama packing in January, 2013 and replaces him with a president who maintains American values.
*Unprecedented; A term often used by both the incumbent president and his tame media boot lickers to accent his purportedly “magnificent accomplishments.”

Chuck, take a look at what I posted two days ago - the left have sown the seeds of paranoia well…

Gray Monk,
You’re really getting it hard over there!
On this side of the pond, they’ve been initiating forays into the same sort of “we know better than you do what’s good for you” on the food end, but not yet (I say “yet” because I know it’s coming). I love a good, fatty cheese burger from time to time, but you can rarely find any ground beef with more than a few percentage points of fat in it anymore.
The child stuff is getting pretty thick over here also, but so far it’s been kept in more or less reasonable perspective — that will probably change as well, the only people immune being Democrat politicians, who are, for all intents and purposes, coated with teflon where morality related crimes are concerned.
But legally and career-wise, you hit the nail right on the head with the paranoid angle, and of course, all the root causes for the paranoia originate in the minds of the folks on the left.
******
We have many of the same endangerments-by-rules-of-engagement over here, mostly instigated by lawsuits that seem to plague those who do their jobs out of dedication and selflessness more than anyone else.
A state actually has to pass a “Good Samaritan” law in order to protect private citizens who attempt to save lives through first aid or CPR from lawsuits, and the results from a lot of legal actions endanger police and other emergency response people in certain circumstances, sometimes prompting them to hesitate in the face of a situation requiring immediate address.
Naturally, once again, the origins are to be found over on the left side of the equation.
These people will never give up, no matter how much damage they do, because it is the damage they do to free societies in order to cause chaos that constitutes their motivation.
