The Shot Heard Round The Nation

After long years of ridicule, abuse, and hostility the government has been sent a message that was loud, clear, and insistent. The TEA party, disorganized and leaderless, has overcome the organized establishment and made clear the demands of ordinary citizens. Will government listen? I doubt it.

While it is true that the DNC is shocked and Nancy Pelosi is pouting, the beating wasn't as bad as it could have been and therein lies the problem. Politicians are strange in that they actually believe that they can ridicule and be actively hostile to the electorate and be re-elected by that same band of fools that put them there in the first place. It is an ultimate arrogance that cannot be reasoned with or talked down. If you don't believe me then I suggest that you view the videos of last years town halls and try some of that with your employer and see how long you remain employed. Arrogance leads to false pride and it can only be voted out of office because the politician will never drain the swamp of Washington because he sees nothing wrong. Thus it becomes, as it has always been, the job of the electorate.

Yesterday's election was historic, but the 1994 election was historic as well and we all know how that turned out. I expect the exact same results this time as well and that is why our second objective should be the establishment of term limits in Congress. When a person is sent to Washington, we are sending them into the lion's den and corruption follows after a few years. The politician learns to lie, he learns how to hide his dirty dealings, and he learns your government better than any citizen. That is why corruption always follows in a few years. Term limits would nip that problem in the bud.

The third objective that we need to address is the shocking malfeasance of the main stream media. By skewing the stories to the left the media hopes to influence the mind of the public toward the left and it is clear that while their influence is waning, it still had an impact on the elections in Nevada, Massachusetts, and Delaware. Such a thing is an evil because news organizations no longer seek to report the events of the day, but to manipulate and that is a direct threat to freedom. The hope is that the citizen will be too busy with the chores of daily living to notice and simply accept the leftist view of the world without question and that is exactly how Obama became President. Had the media done its job and merely reported the news objectively rather than climbing into bed with the DNC Obama would never have become President.

We cannot afford to rest upon our laurels or we will surely lose the end game. We must reorganize and re-energize our efforts toward 2012 and keep the momentum going. As the Democrats shift into survival mode they will lie and pose as conservatives and profess a love of freedom and thrift. Don't believe them. They are deceiving you as they did after the 1994 election. They will tell you whatever they think will get them elected and then chuckle as the go about publishing their Marxist agenda for America. Isn't it strange that the enemies that you defeat today come back re-branded in another form to accomplish the exact thing that got them booted out of office the first time.

Recall how after America rejected Hillarycare the Democrats were booted out of office in 1994 only to have them shove it down our throats in 2009? Don't believe for a second that they are not thinking about doing exactly that all over again. We have not won. All we did yesterday is to take the first steps toward freedom from the socialist utopia envisioned by the DNC. We need to continue down that path because resting now would be suicide.

Our trail is a long one and it will be some years before we can once again hang our musket over the mantle, but if we are resolute we will secure freedom for both ourselves and the West.
