Could it be. . . ?

Bill, though the battle is far from over, I have to give you credit: You have suggested all along that these Marxists of ours would overreach. I believe that is what we are seeing, especially in the Obama-Don't-Care Plan and in Cap-and-Tax. The question is whether there will be enough opposition among the populace to turn the tide. The Marxists thought that because of Obama's 53-47 victory and big majorities in both houses, they could ram their Marxist agenda right up our collective you-know-what. That's what I thought as well. You know me: I'm the pessimist. (With Bob Novak, I was in pretty good company.) I have thought that the dumbing-down of the citizens of this country had dealt a death blow to common sense. Perhaps there remains more common sense than I thought. Levin's and Beck's books have sold well. Interest in and attention to the details of the health scare plan have grown exponentially, while the media ineffectually tries to run interference for the Community-Organizer-in-Chief.

On the other hand, most of the leftists in Congress are defiant of their constituents; they know that a few malcontents at their Town-Hall dog-and-pony shows will not prevent their reelection. And even some Repubicans (that's right: Repubicans) have defied their constituents. Nevertheless, I have a hard time believing that Comrade Obama and his Politburo have all this time been attempting to ensure Republican (or even Repubican) support for their health scare monstrosity.

All in all, I'm cheered to see that the Republic is not going down without a whimper.

Thank You, Rush

Kudos to Rush Limbaugh for having the courage, something our elected Republican representatives seem to lack, to call Obama out on all his outrageous lies, deception and demagoguery. The same goes for Mark Levin, Glenn Beck and others. Each day brings a new outrage, and for the most part, Republican office-holders sit silently, like a bunch of lambs waiting for the slaughter. Many of them are AWOL, and disgracefully so. They should be having press conferences and town hall meetings every day of the week. They're not doing anything in Washington; they might as well be in their districts, getting in front of every camera they can, making principled arguments against the despicable socialist destruction of our society. Thank God in Heaven that someone with a microphone will speak out against this iniquity.
