What to do when the power runs out? Not the electricity that lights the dwellings of the masses, but when the power of politicians inevitably runs out?

If you are Hillary Clinton you bask in the publicity of your daughter’s $3 million but media dubbed “most romantic” wedding. On the Monday following a weekend wedding, you go back to life as Obama’s Secretary of State. Too delightful to contemplate the arrogant Barack and Michelle Obama without power, but nothing lasts forever and their day is coming too. It’s real time, August 3, 2010, and the courageous AtlasShrugs.com is reminding us that the Ground Zero Landmarks Commission will cast a vote this morning clearing the way for the 15-story mega mosque at Ground Zero. In real time, August 2, the bimbo known as Lady Gaga made it known she will slam Arizona Immigration Law SB 1070 at a weekend concert in Phoenix. In real time, the mainstream media ignore the mega mosque at Ground Zero but report on Gaga’s threat “I will yell and I will scream louder” about SB 1070. In an upside-down world, a seemingly endless plethora of talking heads and newly-released books keep detailing Obama’s latest moves, but stop short of telling the masses what to do about saving themselves in a world gone topsy-turvy. Americans have already come up with their own answer about how to save themselves from Obama’s upside-down world. The answer can be found in their living life every day continuing to be themselves, by keeping love of God, family and country their constants. Americans tend to see talking heads not as salvation, but as entertainment. Nobody can trump the book called the Bible or even family photo albums with pictures from real life, recording births, weddings, graduations and family outings. Average people live real lives. They don’t get dropped off at appointments by chauffeur-driven limousines. They don’t get to run off on yet another vacation on someone else’s tab. They are now, and have always been, more down on the farm than pie in the sky. Far more practical than politicians who believe that the largesse that now comes just from being elected to public office will last forever, they know that no matter what sorrow comes their way, it is a constant that life goes on. For the last year and a half they’ve had everything but the proverbial kitchen sink tossed their way by a runaway politician trying to con the Free World by making them think that changing the world is as easy as changing his name from Barry Soetoro to Barack Hussein Obama. Americans, at least metaphorically speaking, are in the middle of a Civil War. But this time the enemy is the government. The closer the mid-term elections, the more tempers flare. In the melee friends fight friends with accusations flying through the air like mosquitoes. Yet, all of the engineered shocks from Obama, the much touted H1N1 outbreak, the Gulf spill are fading away before the climax is able to hit. Ordinary folk who survive calamities know for certain that no matter what evil is tossed their way by Obama, he’s got nothing on Mother Nature. Having had more than a year and a half to observe him, folk now know that shallow Obama came in with the tide and shallow he will go out with the tide. After all is said and done the ordinary people who make America know in their hearts that now is not the time to give up because the time to give up is never. Even in the tumult and worry of sailing in a rudderless ship with the Constitution in tatters, it’s heartening just knowing that the power will run out on Obama long before the power ever runs out on humanity.
