AMERICANS ARE AWAKENED; WE ARE NOT TO BLAME

SPECIAL POST 

For the first time in decades, Americans are glued to their televisions, radios and computers with an avid interest in what is going on with Washington. And the results show that they are not pleased with what our government has done to us in the past and is setting itself up to do to us in the future. Although the incumbents in the halls of power have become used to waning interest as issues come and go, they are growing increasingly frustrated that the public voice of discontent is getting louder and louder this time around.

In the recent past, Congress and the Executive Branch have been pretty much doing anything they wanted and they’ve been getting away with it. They acquired such a cavalier attitude that they no longer even attempted to hide their dirty deeds and, if caught, they simply pointed the fickle finger of blame at each other, shrugged their shoulders, and proceeded with “business as usual.” In fact, during the public uproar over some of their dirty tricks during the Health Care debates, Harry Reid even had the utter gall to say, in amazement, “But, this is how we do things in Washington.”

Now that they have managed to tick each other off over the Health Care plans, they have taken to blaming the American people for being in the way of getting things done. We’ve been called everything from Astroturf to members of the Mob. If they can’t win an argument on its merits, they denigrate, castigate, and pontificate.

Their problem is that we Americans have learned to hold our heads high and bark back. Americans of all creeds, colors, ethnic backgrounds and political leanings have been awakened and are working shoulder to shoulder, arm to arm and hand in hand to dig for the truths. In a desperate bid to stave off the angry public, Obama and Company are now engaged in a last-ditch effort to pass the monstrous health care plan that is so rotten and putrid that no legitimate process to get it passed can be employed.

We have another ten or so days of this battle for control of our government. It’s between us and them. We have come such a long way, we simply cannot draw a deep breath or let our guards down now. We can and we must win this battle. Our national energy has been mired down in this health care muck too long. We have jobs to create, businesses to save, and spending that simply must be stopped. They obviously have no intention of doing those things, so we must seize control and we must send the despots on their way.

Keep the faxes going, the phone calls, the emails… copy your newspapers and media outlets. Keep the Faith, we can do it…we’re almost there.
