Fear the Electorate
It's difficult for any rational American to comprehend why Mr. Obama, Pelosi, and Reid despise the nation's success. We may never know. And it's equally hard to understand the effrontery of their contempt for its citizenry and the Constitution.
In the spirit of Christmas accept for the moment that this trio fervently believes that the benefits of socialism outweigh those of capitalism. Then allow that they are historically illiterate and are overwhelmed by the desire to share the nation's bounty with the less fortunate.
Now agree that their zeal to right inequities is pristine and is only motivated by their love of mankind and nature. Finally, acknowledge that they are not interested in power, and that their sole political goal is to set the world on a path to universal happiness.
About twenty percent of the electorate in the United States of America ardently believe that this trio is only motivated by these virtues. With all their hearts they believe that happiness is a right of birth and that uncontrolled prosperity is the root cause of misfortune. Another thirty percent conceptually accept these liberal tenets.
The trio's path to building eternal joy on earth got muddied by the fifty percent of social heretics who believe a person's financial destiny shouldn't be abridged by government guidelines, which define and allocate opportunity. They believe in the economic neutrality of government. They expect government to watch their backs while they toil on behalf of themselves and their families.
Most of these heretics never thought of themselves as capitalists, nor Constitutionalists, nor gave much thought to religious traditions or the scattered attacks on religious symbols. They were too busy working.
Their spirit of independence and self-confidence and trust of government created a period in history when their work ethic distracted them. For generations, they, maybe naively, trusted their representatives to strengthen and protect their ability to prosper. And they were too busy working to secure a foothold on the American Dream to notice their right of self-determination disappearing.
The erosion of self-reliance never occurred in pandemic proportions. It was more like the seasonal flu, expected and worrisome but never catastrophic.
Taxes kept encroaching on their personal goals. They didn't revolt. They just worked harder to build their dreams. Most never equated the government's demand for absolute equality and the growth of taxes with the gradual loss of freedom.
Fortunately, Obama, Pelosi and Reid abandoned the stealthy approach to building socialism. They regarded the election of 2008 as a chance of a lifetime to bury capitalism, Christianity and the Constitution. Their greed may have saved the nation.
Americans were persuaded that TARP was necessary, but the electorate was wary. The Stimulus, the bloated budgets, the takeover of the financial institutions and General Motors and the trio's decision to control health care at any cost awakened America's industrious class.
The realization that Obama, Pelosi and Reid despise their ethics and ideals is manifested by the confederation of Americans that hit the streets in protest. The Tea Party is not a political organization; it's a consensus.
Americans want America back. And they will take it back. Any politician who fears the socialist trio more than an irate electorate is doomed.
