Ok everybody, take a deep breath and re-group. Pick your battles carefully and do not lose sight of the goal. Everybody is now all excited about President Obama addressing the school children of America. I've read the speech and it is posted on this site for you to see. Senator Rick Santorum believes it is a sanitized version of the original speech, rewritten only after questions were raised about the "study guides" sent to teachers by our Department of Education. Since I can't prove otherwise, I'm willing to take the speech as it now exists at face value and consider it a typical pep talk. A more important element of this whole story however, is its effect upon our Conservative goals with regard to this administration.
The American people are intoxicated with their new found power. Citizens who have never in their lives raised a question, much less raise their voice in protest, are realizing that Government of the People, by the People and for the People is more than just a inscription on some dusty museum display. It is a living, breathing phenomenon that they have resurrected and are taking to Washington in the form of meetings, questions and debate, the likes of which Government has never seen in the history of this Country. Stay peaceful, stay respectful and don't dilute your energy.
But beware. Things like this school speech controversy, misdirect your attention. They are also perfect opportunities for the Left to accuse Conservatives of acting like crazy people. Right now, we've got President Obama so locked down and under scrutiny that he can't scratch without someone criticizing him. I used to call it the Britany Spears syndrome. For a while, she couldn't do anything right. But we have to be careful to chase what is important, and let the silly stuff go. Don't dilute your energy.
Another example is those of you who want to prove that Obama is not an American, and therefore not legally entitled to be President. You need to get over it. At this point it wouldn't matter if you had documents indicating he was born on Mars, the fact is he was duly elected by the American people and he is going to be President for at least four years, so we all may as well make the best of it. Don't dilute your energy.
The health insurance plan is utmost in people's minds right now, but don't forget that Cap and Trade has not been finalized, it only passed in the House. It is almost a sure thing that immigration reform of some kind is in the works, probably early next year. This administration and its Diversity Czar in the FCC would love dearly to shut down free speech (Conservative) on the airwaves, and this is an area that will require continued vigilance for years to come. The Employee Free Choice Act has not gone away, it is just temporarily off the radar screen, and Obama continues to surround himself with people who have radical affiliations and even more radical beliefs. Don't dilute your energy.
Take comfort in small victories. You got rid of Jones. There are still five or six more Czars that have to go. The Dems are in disarray as they try to patch together some consensus for their stunningly expensive health insurance scheme. President Obama has become tentative, weighing his words and actions against a backdrop of widespread public questioning. But don't let up, he didn't get where he is by being faint of heart. The battle for the future of this Country is far from over. Stay focused on the important things and ignore the static, but most of all, do not dilute your energy.
