Now Is the Time

There seems to be some confusion about the number of people attending the March on Washington rally this weekend. Press reports have it anywhere from several scores to two million. This tells me that this event in and of itself has not succeeded in piercing the media’s protective Teflon coating around the president. People of differing political persuasions will still be able to cite the source of their choice in order to support their arguments. I personally subscribe to the higher number (and this is not counting all those millions who wanted to, but could not attend).

This just points out that we cannot rest; that we have to continue to find inventive new ways of piercing the media bubble around Obama. Joe Wilson did it – and he was just one man. Glenn Beck and his team of intrepids also managed it – and these were just a handful.

The accompanying video (above) clearly showed that the young reporters were unhinged. They did not expect what was happening (at the 9/12 Washington rally). In order to succeed in bringing some sanity back into our public discourse, we need to get the press to heel. We need to get them to acknowledge that something of seismic proportions is happening here; something that cannot be simply swept under the rug with blanket accusations of ‘racism’.

Our elected representatives too are not stupid. They must by now have recognized the tremendous opportunities that exist simply for the courage of stepping forward and taking up the reigns. They also must see the perils (to themselves) of attempting to maintain the status quo. Who will it be? Who will step into the breach? Will it be Joe Wilson? Thaddeus McCotter?

Every great nation can expect a savior to appear when that nation is in trouble. America is a great nation. She is in trouble. Who will come forward? Now is the time!
