The Democrat Surge

I realized this evening that the United States is currently under attack from an assault of military-like precision. Not by terrorists or by a foreign invading army, but by Democrats in Congress.

But most of the citizenry of our nation hasn't even realized it yet, and may not until the battle is over. Those that do realize it are busy trying to use diplomacy against liberty's enemy and to play fair, within the rules by conducting town halls meetings and tea parties and civilized discourse.

But make no mistake about it, what the Democrats are in the midst of is a calculated attack that they've been planning and waiting for for a long time. What we're seeing in our nation is the Democrats' surge of overwhelming force, the same way that our military surged against the insurgents in Iraq to turn the tide there. They waited until they had sufficient numbers and are in the process of mowing down the opposition.

The Democrats have been waiting for this precise moment when they have control of both houses of Congress and an unbeatable majority, the presidency and control of the federal courts. This is what they've secretly been working for for decades. And now, what appears to be a brazen attack on our very Republic and our Constitution is the result of patience and conniving.

But now that they can, they're ignoring the will of the American public and spending our tax dollars like play money, forcing federal regulation down our throats in the form of bailouts, stimulus packages, government health care, global warming initiatives such as Cap and Trade, and soon, amnesty for illegal aliens.

They are pissing on the very rules and precedents that they, themselves created in the form of House and Senate rules. And they are creating mandates, taxes, laws and regulations by the simple fiat of an unaccountable team of czars.

Their hope is that during this brief window that they can change enough of the fabric of the laws and entitlements and create enough of a sense of despair and hopelessness that we won't know where to begin to put the pieces back together and that our country will forever be thrown into the pit of Statism or Socialism or a new aristocracy or whatever you want to call it.

I feel it in the very bottom of my soul that if we become complacent and just keep on worrying about our daily lives and trusting that our nation will return to the right course that it will all be lost. We, the People, must stand up and make our voices heard in deafening ways that we will not tolerate our will and our country being remade into a bastardization of what it once was. The time for tough choices is here. It's going to be painful in the short term, but we need leaders who will stand up and say"no. this isn't right, and we're not only going to draw this line in the sand, but we're also going to eradicate all the stupidity and insidiousness that has been systematically institutionalized over the past 50 years." We must push back, and we must take back what we gave up due to complacency and apathy. We must not be ashamed to say tat we want truth, justice and the American Way back. Somewhere along the way, "the American Way" became a slur.

Friends, the American Way is liberty. It's freedom. It's individual rights. It's States Rights. It's a government By the people, FOR the people.

It's time to reclaim it and not to settle for "the lesser of two evils" any more. It's time to expect - to demand excellence and progress and innovation and character and integrity.

It's time to be Americans again.
