The Will of the People: America’s Last Best Hope

The video is a few days old, but I’ve added some follow-up thoughts.

A terrific video produced by Ben Howe here at RedState is a great reminder that November is coming–and why this midterm election is so critical in solidifying America’s future path.  The video speaks for itself, but I’d like to stress a couple of key points for those voters who remain undecided and still cling to Obama’s “hope” lies.

As I have previously mentioned, what was originally promised to you during the campaign and reiterated on Change.gov is completely different than what has unfolded the past 21 months.  Don’t believe me or still undecided, go see for yourself.  In 2006 and again in 2008, Republicans were taught a lesson by the voters.  Now, the Democrats must learn the same lesson, including the Blue Dog Democrat sellouts (there are no conservative Democrats).  They stole your health care, spent your hard earned money for endless crony bailouts, and in the age of Obama more people in America live in poverty.  Now, it is time for them to learn.  Call it a teachable moment.

The Democrats will lose their majority.  Period.  The questions are by how many seats and will it be both houses.  And it has nothing to do with great orator’s ability to communicate–especially regarding the peristent selling of Obamacare as evidenced here.  Independents and Republicans, and yes, even Democrats, know that this Congress and president defied their will–which was clearly known–so there was no failure to communicate.  It was a failure to listen, uphold their oaths, and obey the will of the American people as their elected representatives. There is no way to sugar-coat the progressive redistributive power grabs legislated by the Democrat Congress with rhetoric or car metaphors.

November is indeed coming, and if the Democrats thought 1994 was a beating–triggered by only a tax increase–you ain’t seen nothin’ yet.  Americans are tired of slick politicians and their lies and con games in order to get votes.  They are tired of career politicians moving to the center-right during the campaign, but run to the left and rubber-stamp the progressive Obama-Pelosi agenda.  They are tired of being betrayed by establishment politicians who couldn’t even tell a constituent how much a loaf of bread, a gallon of milk, or a dozen eggs cost, but know that an unread 2,000+ page healthcare takeover is good for us.  Americans are tired of 278 people (give or take a few RINOs)–the minimum required to pass a bill in the House and Senate combined–trying to take control of their lives and rob them of the fruits of their labors and more.

This election is indeed different from the rest.  It is a referendum on freedom, liberty, and the Constitution.  Because the left likes to rewrite history so much, they forget the strength and will of Americans.  Never underestimate the American people when it comes to protecting their freedom and liberty for themselves, their children, and future generations.

    for the Bamabot statists. They can’t learn and so this is about destroying the statist Democrat party. This is about retribution coming from an aroused citizenship. This about kicking statism out and sweeping it back into the dustbin of history. Democrats must be defeated and their philosophy needs to be discredited again and maybe finally . . . for good?

    The teachable moment occurred in Nov 2008 and stretched on through the end of March 2010. That’s when people, many of whom had taken for granted or forgotten what it meant to be American began to relearn. Having your head ripped off and statist policy jammed down your neck will get anyone’s attention. Now it’s time for payback and a majority of Americans are ready to get some.

    The really good thing about this awakening is that a lot of Americans are reading and learning about the founding and the founding documents. They’ve been belittled and trashed by the just about everybody including a lot of insider Republicans. It’s been messy at times but it is the only thing that could have turned the tide. Conservatives and especially the tea party people have seized on the reins of constitutional freedom and they are not about to let go.
