Simply A Nuisance

In the face of what some see as impending doom we remain optimistic. We gained reason to believe in this Country at our family reunion: character and backbone - the predominant theme there. After that gathering we were even more convinced that the current experiment in Washington is a transitory one, not something which will be institutionalized. It will prove to be a needed catharsis, not a tragedy.

We all know that the stars aligned perfectly for a radical element of US society; the far left for the first time in our lifetime gained traction; what Vic Hansen calls "faculty-lounge utopian rhetoric" became no longer just rhetoric.

Result - the dreams of a zealous few have at last become the nightmares of a once-complacent many. Good. Once sampled, these few will be rejected; there will be a great retching, a great heaving as these types are vomited up and out of America’s system.

We predicted earlier that historians will consider BO’s rise to power, his and his fellow extremists’ attempt to re-make American society, as a fluke. None under the oak that afternoon, notwithstanding party affiliation, harbor a distaste for American society, for America’s history or for America’s place in the free world as do the far left. These and others just like them will not accept this attempted heist by a few who believe they have superior wisdom and greater insight than most of us, who believe they have been ordained or anointed to forcibly impose that wisdom on the rest of us.

Ronald Reagan observed, "The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so." They’ll be reminded of that in the near term. What they thought to be a revolution, a legacy will turn out to be nothing but a spark to ignite their well-deserved end as a contributing segment of society.

They will become once again, simply a nuisance.
