Tea Party Success Means No Eulogy for America

This morning there were many reports of yesterday's Tea Party Demonstrations from across the country. These people did not act at all like they are consistently portrayed. The mainstream the media has described them as: Racist, Homophobic, Narrow-minded, Anti-government, Second Amendment fanatics. But, I neither saw nor heard reports of disorderly or rude conduct.

So what is wrong with this picture-perfect participation allowed and encouraged under the First Amendment of our U.S. Constitution? Why are the media and the likes of Bill Clinton so afraid today? To be sure, the Tea Party vision of America does clash with the vision of America that Obama and his followers want. So what? Why all of the establishment fear? The media loved it in 2008 when the voters took out their frustrations on the GOP and elected this man, Obama, who has no past and no resume. The media still loves to trash Sara Palin all day, every day. Where is the true fear and loathing coming from? Does the political process belong exclusively to the Left? Barack Obama and the Mainstream Media share most values. They fear genuine grass roots movements. The only revolutions that they know are of the kind described by their Left-wing beliefs. Perhaps they are projecting what they know [violent revolution] on the Tea Parties and this creates their fear. Barack Obama takes this same, elitist Left-wing view toward normal Americans. Recall his very own words:

"You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them...And they fell through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not. And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations." - Candidate Barack Obama, April 11, 2008

Or had you forgotten those remarks by our President? He and his elitist supporters apparently believe that present-day America is a collection of backward hicks badly in need of re-education. Tea Parties are a vestige of a bad "Old America" that must be destroyed and replaced with Obama's vision of a European-style, Statist Paradise. Imagine for a moment what it might be like if Barack Obama and his "Blame-America-First" Coalition of Union Tough Guys, aging SDS Terrorists, former Weathermen, Anarchists, Leftist Revolutionaries, Nihilists, and their "Lumpenproletariat" base were to complete not only their first, but also a second "Four Year Plan" [perish the thought]. Consider: If there were no Tea Party movement, where would we be headed and how fast would we get there? [Hint: Think of Health Care Legislation as the model.] Without the Tea Party Resistance, "Obama's New America" would look very different indeed from the "Old America. "Obama's New America" defined: A compressed effort of political re-education in Progressive Group-Think; Psychological bullying by True Believers; Physical intimidation for "hard cases;" Prosecutions of "Enemies of the State;" A total destruction of the Free Enterprise System; and Big Government intrusion into every facet of or lives. After such a "fundamental transformation of America," the remaining, outspoken Conservatives would be an endangered species. Think of it: possessing "dangerous literature" such as unapproved versions of the U.S. Constitution, "The Federalist Papers," or even a copy of Plato's "Allegory of the Cave" could be a heresy and might even be a "crime against the state." With this vision fresh in mind, I wondered, “Perhaps some brave, surviving sage might offer an appropriate eulogy for the "Old America. Maybe it would sound familiar to the words of the eulogy delivered by Marc Antony over the body of Caesar.”

"Friends, Americans, Countrymen lend me your ears. I come to bury America, not to praise her. The evil countries do live after them; The good is often buried with their sons. So let it be with our land. The noble Obama Has told you America was ambitious. If this were so, it was a terrible fault, And terribly has America answered for it. Here by the permission of Obama and the rest [For Obama is an honorable man; So are they all honorable men], I come to speak out for America. America was our friend, and fair to us, But Obama says she was ambitious, and Obama is an honorable man. She has brought many Freedoms home to citizens, Those fruits have filled the public treasury. Did this in America seem ambitious? When the poor cried, America wept; Ambition should be made of sterner stuff. Yet Obama is an honorable man. You all saw her, after the world's great wars, Many times offered a royal crown, Which she many times refused. Was this ambition? Yet Obama says she is ambitious, And Obama is an honorable man. I speak not to disprove what Obama said, but I am here to speak what I do know. You all did love her once, not without cause. What cause now keeps you, then, from mourning her? Oh judgment, you have fled to mindless beasts, And men have lost their reason! - Bear with me; My heart is in the coffin there with America, And I must pause until it comes back to me." Oh my goodness! What a nightmare!

I simply cannot bring myself to believe that the American Public will long suffer Obama and his Propaganda Machine, listen to the fawning, slavish media, and prefer them to the liberty loving people of the Tea Parties! Progressive Democrats and their wacky coalition have erred, their ambition has outstripped their abilities and their political capital. These are the same loony Leftists, [now transmogrified into Progressive Democrats] that spitefully contributed to Hubert Humphrey's loss in 1968. Hubert Humphrey, the last true Liberal Democrat to run for President, lost in 1968 precisely because the American Public correctly saw that those radicals represented the crazy Left Wing of that same Democrat Party. After 42 years of mutation, permutation and fermentation in a dark place they are all grown up and making their play to finish what they started in the late 1960s. Mind you, I am not speaking about the respectable and law abiding traditional Democrats who have yet to figure out that their once proud party of Andrew Jackson is no more. I'm talking about the street brawlers. They are the true face of the Progressive Movement. Blood and violence in the streets is their gig, not ours. Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and all of the Leftwing "Czars" will be held responsible for the monster they have created, characterized by divisive politics and their blind hatred of traditional American values. The American voters will ultimately come to see Obama, and his Leftist Cabal for what it is. Our rejection must be complete But, we will forever have to guard against a return of their style of politics. Our watchwords must be, "Never again!" Our touchstone must be the U.S. Constitution. Keep up the good work, Tea Parties. Keep pushing back against this Progressive Democrat Statism. We must never hear any eulogy for America. Long live the Tea Party Resistance! AUTHOR'S NOTE: In 2004, prior to the Presidential Election, I wrote a satirical article wherein I proposed a similar Eulogy [my apologies to the Bard]. I revised this article today, and I believe that it rings even truer for President Obama than when I applied the satire to Senator John Kerry.
