First, there were 2 of Us
Today I am flying the flag of the United States of America. I haven’t flown it for some time because the news has not been positive for Liberty and Freedom. But the results of the Nov 3, 2009 election gives an indication the “political tide” has turned … finally some good news. People are voting against the “red tide” that has overtaken the country in the guise of “Hope and Change.”
The Tide is Turning
2009 Election: The election results are in for the Nov 3rd, 2009 “off year” election. And the Republicans finally started winning some hearts and minds of the voters. Obviously, New Jersey and Virginia governorships were the most newsworthy. However, down inside many smaller, less publicized races, Republicans were moving into grass roots positions (6 alone in Virginia).
...then there were ALL of us!
The Conservative Tide of 9-12: We “felt it” when we went to the 9-12 Tea Party in Washington, DC. That was a microcosm of what we might be seeing today. My son and I got out of the car at the train station and sort of kept our jackets covering our TAX REVOLT T-shirts. Might as well be cautious. There were only 2 of us. Then we met two ladies walking from their car and they were carrying posters, but the writing was turned “inward” toward them, so the wording couldn’t be seen. Then they spotted our T-Shirts and said … “oh, you’re part of us!” Then they proudly showed us the signs they had made. Now we were 4 of us. As we moved toward the train station, others joined us and when we reached the station there were 10 of us. Inside the station, 30 people were waiting in line for the ticket machine … now there were 40 of us. On the platform there were 150 people waiting on the trains … now there were 190 of us. The train was almost full and at the next couple of stops, no one could get on … there were hundreds of us. But leaving the train and coming up the escalators at the station in DC (actual picture above), there were then thousands of us! We then joined the march which was already in progress and there were hundreds of thousands of us.
Rasmussen 11/4/09
The Conservative Incoming Tide: We watched the tide turn on that day, moving ever so slightly and tentatively at first, then ending in a crescendo of people never seen before. If you look closely, you’ll see the same tide turning throughout the United States. The Tea Parties, the Town Hall meetings … people discovered that the “few” of them were not alone. They showed up at these events a little tentative, but discovered many more like themselves, same feelings, same smiles … and the confidence grew. Now we’ve had an election that indicates clearly that a new tide is coming in to wash out the “red tide” that overtook us in November of 2009 … only one short (or in some cases very long) year ago. The people are waking up, and they are beginning to stir and tell Washington that they’ve had enough of this socialist BS.
The Bottom Line
Townhall - Glenn Foden
The tide is turning, America is waking up … they’ve seen what’s in store for them from the “Hope and Change” radicals (who are actually “burn it down” and “blow it up” radicals left over from the 60′s) and the people don’t like what they see.
What? Unemployment at 9.8%? Trillions of debt we didn’t have last year at this time? A stimulus that didn’t stimulate anything, just paid back political contributors? And now they are coming at us with “Health Care Reform” that will cost us another Trillion in taxes to fix the BEST health care system in the world? And Cap and Trade … taxing us so we will use less energy ? (1) because we are running out of resources and (2) to save the planet from global warming? STOP the parade … its going the wrong way! (See Environmental Religion) That was the message on Nov. 3rd in the voting booths.
- Ford Profits: And in a side note of the news, Ford Motor Company just registered a One BILLION dollar profit. GM and Chrysler are still in bailout mode. This tells us people are talking “with their dollars” too. People have figured out that buying from GM and Chrysler is simply making a contribution to the Unions, (if they wanted to do that they’d just join one). So they are supporting Capitalism and rejecting Socialism with their move to Ford products. This is a conscious decision … another sign people are waking up and the tide has turned.
It starts with you: So it starts with one person. Me. Then a friend, then a small crowd, then a large crowd, then a multitude. Look around you, because you can be a part of the tide that washes away the Socialism contaminating Washington and restores our Republic to the form and format of our founding fathers. It is a format that has made us the strongest economy and strongest nation in the world. The last thing we want to do is CHANGE that!
It is a welcome sight to see my USA flag flying in front of the house.
Patriot Flag #1
I hope I can start flying it more often this year. It is still the most beautiful Patriot Flag there is.
What a great day!
