The planting of a seed of discontent....

Well.... where to begin... why did I drop off the face of the earth? A couple of reasons. This blogging is very draining work and sometimes VERY lonely. It doesn't exactly make me popular with my wife, who shares the core concerns, but believes I am too radical on the issues.

I love my wife dearly, and I needed to stop for a little while and just be her husband. And what a good time to choose to do so, as life has been VERY hectic the past two months. This past week alone my son got badly hurt in chorus class (a knee injury in chorus? WTF?????) our one-eyed cat started bleeding from the eye socket just as we finished medicating one of the others for a severe snot0production issue.... and my wife came home from work at lunchtime the other day to find emergency vehicles all around our house because of the man with the broken leg who had fallen off the scaffolding of our neighbor's chimney repair work... onto our driveway..... and then just because we had not had enough grief.... I pulled a muscle fairly severely while going to a tradeshow in Vegas. It was so bad the good folk at the Sands Expo had to take me to my booth in a wheelchair. I'm still hobbling pretty nastily as I write this in the T terminal of JFK Airport as part of my "Very long night" of trying to get home to Buffalo.

So you can see, I didn't stop caring, I re-charged.

And WOW!!!!! That's what I have to say.

America has seriously begun to step up to the plate and demonstrate what it is that makes us Americans. I am sooo impressively proud to know so many people out there care the way they do. Town Hall meetings designed to send the one message that thick-headed Dems and name-only Repubs could understand... namely that we're pissed and our numbers are growing, and the BS had better stop soon.

And then there's the Two million man march on DC last weekend.... man, I'm sorry I was not a part of that, although I had my hands pretty full at the time....

And the emergence of Glenn Beck as a loud and exceptionally vocal voice calling for action.... he MAY be a bit radicalized, but to be honest that's the kind of energy that we need right now.

This mobilization, as Rush pointed out (himself quoting other sources on the issue....) without a central charismatic figure is te PERFECT antithesis to president hussein. It is a statement of the power of the Conservative movement, and the incredible central truth of our movement that we DON'T need idols to lead us.... we make up our own minds.

Then there's former President Jimmy Carter, beloved by millions of foreigners for his unwavering conviction to suck energy and life from the United States... a man whose resume is pock-marked with the greatest failings of any presidency in the past fifty years (including LBJ...) who got trotted out to add fire to the liberal mantra that to oppose hussein is to be a racist.

You might as well ask for Hugo Chavez to side with you.... there's the same amount of love for country in that corner of the globe as you'll get from the peanut guy.

But what really blows my top with joy is the recent release of the Acorn undercover videos.

We are witness to the birth of the New Republicans... the people who make tsunamis in the Democrat ranks with just a few simple actions.... who refuse to be broken by the Grotesque Government that is president hussein's regime.

North Carolina Senator Joe Wilson (R) became a hero to the people with of all things only two words. Two words uttered at the right place, at the right time, and expressing the frustrtations and angers of millions of Americans.

Three words if you ask NY Times columnist Maureen Dowd, who in her own racist mind heard the word "Boy" included in the attack on hussein.

I feel so much less alone. I feel like a voice is emerging out of the chaos and it is not one person... it is a group mind... the True Republicans, the ones who refuse to be dictated to and refuse to pander to the special interests of the president. It's a voice you and I can and should join in on.

I am struck at the number of times people have had to apologize to hussein for minor infractions of courtesy. Bush never received these platitudes form people, nor did Reagan. Clinton was such a happy-go-lucky guy he was actually hard to offend.

But Obama is a VERY sensitive guy. He demands attention, and he demands leniency, and he demands that you accept not receiving leniency from him. He is growing ever more pissed off and he is in real danger of doing something big and rebellious to try to show us who the boss is.

I say we let him. It was a mistake to criticize the address to the students of America in advance, becuase then he had time to water it down to something innocuous, just to show he wasn't really gonna indoctrinate anybody. We should have let him do that EXACTLY as he planned.

We should let president hussein play by his own rules, and show him to the people for what he is. A man with deep-seated hatred for the US. A man who despises us.

On my red-eye flight from Vegas last night I was watching Greta Van Susteran on Fox News. She played a clip of hussein speaking about honoring a fallen soldier with the Congressional Medal of Honor. No doubt the man was very deserving of the award... our servicemen and women have been in combat for several years in an urelenting battle against evil, and they continue to this day to make us proud... but the telling of the president was in his choice of words.

He read off words such as honor and sacrifice and then proceeded to point out how Americans forget what those words mean, and how we use those weighty words carelessly. He then goes on to say how this particular soldier undertsood those words and demonstrated them with the ultimate sacrifice.

Was it really necessary to trash Americans as idiots who have no understaqnding of what our soldiers do in order to praise this man? For president hussein it was essential. It is his view of Americans that we do NOT know anything. That we do not have his level of intelligence, and we CAN be easily insulted so long as he wraps the words in praise for another.

Honestly, at this point he is no longer capable of insulting Americans. It is expected that he will seek the low road, and denigrate anything right and fair.

And now president hussein is learning the lesson the Japanese learned at the start of World War II.... he has awakened a sleeping Giant.

I'm Dr. Calamity and I approve this message...

ps.: it's good to be back.
