Sarah Helps Us Look Forward To Revolution in 2010

As citizens across the nation cringe at the passage of the shady, shameful, and surreptitiously cobbled-together "back-room" health care bill, I have the distinct feeling that Christmas comes with an ominous overtone for true conservatives at the end of this oft-bewildering year.

At this moment, I feel--more than I have ever felt in over a year and a half of steady conservative activism--disenfranchised and appalled at the travesty that is the Obama administration and his attendant Democrat "elves" on Capitol Hill. Earlier this year, I felt a swelling sense of optimism, a sense that great ground-work was indeed being paved for a powerful grassroots shift in the waffling of the Republican Party and the rise of the man-and-woman-on-the-street conservative movement. The wonderful American people who participated in the Tea Parties and Sarah Palin's gritty, unparalleled rise from the ashes of lamestream media abuse to reclaim control of her reputation and authentic voice have been beacons of the aforementioned optimism.

Perhaps like many of you, however, I now feel a genuine sense of fright (combined with anger) at what appears to be such a blatant and horrific betrayal of the Constitution and the future of our country via this damnable series of secretive health care machinations on the part of Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and, of course, Barack Obama. These so-called "leaders" have now, and in no uncertain terms, most brazenly declared to the majority of Americans that they do not care about the well-being of this great nation, they do not care about the loud-and-clear voices of the majority of the American people, and they do not care about the crucial discussion of pivotal issues.

The hubris and wanton arrogance of Capitol Hill, and its perilous plunge toward the absolute ruin of the American identity, is shockingly evident. The dismal mechanics behind the "formation" of the health care bill is an outrage--a galling repudiation of all American people in favor of truly wayward and malevolent liberal partisanship. It is a disgusting scandal. Meanwhile, American people stand on the sidelines, marginalized and ignored by their own public servants, so many of us left only with the disturbing "hope" that enough of us will truly rise-up to "clean house" via 2010 elections.

I am convinced: Obama, Pelosi, Reid, et al. crave the destruction of America as we know it, as it was established by the Founding Fathers. They actively seek to alter the very fabric of our great nation for reasons of their abominably insular ideology and willful ignorance. To say that the American constituency must rise-up in 2010 with the equivalent of a thunderous vote of "No Confidence" is putting things mildly.

In some respects, however, this execrable series of events in D.C. will only strengthen the platform and power of Sarah Palin (and other fine conservative leaders) to blaze at the vanguard of an absolutely necessary revolution in 2010. It is our only hope, for, if we conservatives do not retaliate by utterly brutalizing the baboons on Capitol Hill with our votes in 2010, I fear our nation will truly have approached the brink, the "deep breath before the plunge."

Sarah and her kindred souls across this country are ready to rumble, as it were, and that is a comforting thought for the year to come. But "comforting thoughts" alone will not avail us; we need to work ten times harder next year, taking to the streets in ever-more determined fellowship, to guarantee America's future. Sarah has made it clear, even in the past few days, as she recovers from a draining book tour, that she is going to lead with relentlessness in 2010. Let us follow that lead.

Though we must indeed be mindful of the looming disaster that confronts our way of life, we should also take heart in the friendship and encouragement of our fellow American conservatives--people from all states and walks of life who will not be silenced or brushed aside. For my part, I extend a very enthusiastic 'Merry Christmas' to the readers of Texas for Sarah Palin, to my fellow contributors on this blog, and particularly to the extraordinary and dedicated Josh Painter, who has worked so tirelessly to provide up-to-the-minute news and pointed commentary about Sarah's efforts.

God Bless and get ready to "start your engines" for 2010, good American people!
