"I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve" --Japanese Admiral Yamamoto after the attack on Pearl Harbor (from the film "Tora! Tora! Tora!") "You've awakened a sleeping giant." -- Katy Abram to Sen. Arlen Spector at a Town Hall meeting, early August, 2009. In a recent article in "The Weekly Standard," Jeff Bergner wrote about the American Narrative -- how it has been written by the Left; adopted by our culture, and accepted by Democrats and Republicans alike. Bergner says that the Narrative goes something like this: From its founding, America has been working towards the ideal of equality for all. This goal is an inevitable certainty, although it must be aided now and again by the use of will, and power. The best means of ensuring equality for all, is through the auspices of strong government entitlement programs. Those who oppose the Narrative are evil, backward, selfish rubes, who place their own self-interest before the welfare of others. The Narrative also says that American exceptionalism is a misguided, parochial elitism, that prevents world peace, and encourages a divisive American arrogance.
