American Revolution Two

“All see, and most admire, the glare which hovers round the external trappings of elevated office. To me there is nothing in it, beyond the lustre which may be reflected from its connection with a power of promoting human felicity.” – President George Washington, January 9, 1790

Game over. That’s the message being sent by everyday Americans across this land to the ruling class elite who make up the upside down culture of Washington D.C. We’ve had it. We are beyond fed up and for most people, there really aren’t words to describe the outrage at what is being done to our nation. Retribution and payback is bubbling over everywhere and it’s about time.

The progressive movement that began trying to transform America over 100 years ago is reaching its climax. Universal healthcare, a long held fantasy and foundational plank of the progressives has been passed – at least for now. The most damaging effect of this century long culmination is the amassing of the administrative state – the massive bureaucracy and ruling class that now makes up Washington. It is a grotesque distortion of what our Constitution originally set forth and the unparalleled Tea Party movement makes evident that the American people understand this, and have finally had enough.

The defining characteristic of this ruling class elite is an arrogant condescension and obsession with self service. It is completely backwards from the pattern set forth by Washington and his peers when they painstakingly laid the foundations for the American system. Washington’s statement above says it all: he was in it to serve the people and the American ideal of limited, self government – and nothing more. The message coming from our capital today is wholly different: “We the people” are incapable of self government, making our own decisions, or understanding politics and the issues at hand.

The American people are appalled by this and its obvious why: we do not want to be controlled or ruled. We do not want to lose our precious freedoms that so many have paid such a high a cost to maintain. It’s clear to us that the ultimate goal of the ruling class elites is nothing more than sustained power and control; all you have to do is look at every piece of legislation being pushed. Everything points to increased government power and control.

So will November 2, 2010 make a difference? Will it check this cresting tide of progressive liberalism? While America cannot be saved with one election, it is quite clear that this election must reflect a fundamental shift back towards the American principles of limited self government, the protection of our God given rights, and maximum freedom for the individual.

The message to the ruling class elites in both parties is manifest: it’s time to go home. It’s time to sit down and take a back seat. Your reckless spending, consolidation of power and dismantling of the Constitution has pushed America to the brink of disaster. Game over. You’re finished.

The critical point to remember is this: The ruling class elite must be replaced by authentic servant leaders who are true conservatives and serve a higher calling and answer to a greater power than themselves. And they must possess the kind of bold courage and iron willed determination that will withstand the character assassination that is inevitable from the Left. We have a golden opportunity to lead and facilitate the most critical turning point in decades. But it will not happen if our newly elected leaders care more about what the Leftist media says than doing what is right, good and true. The American people don’t care about reaching across the aisle. We don’t care about politicians getting along. We want our country back and compromising with the Anti-American Left is not the answer, and it never will be.

So to the Left and the ruling class elite, your time is up. To the American people, it’s time to stand up, stand firm and get in the game. Armor up and lead forth with courage. It’s our time now…
