When the American Revolution began in 1776, most of those living in the colonies, outside of a couple hot spots, hardly noticed. Even in Boston, those who lived away from where the Tea Party was held, only read scant newspaper reports. Farther away, in New York, Philadelphia and beyond, the American Revolution was just a conversation topic in town squares. Few realized what was about to happen, or that the greatest nation in history was going through its pre-natal struggle.
Today, that great nation has been temporarily hijacked by determined socialists and globalists who want to bring America down to the same level as the rest of the world -- socially, economically and militarily. They have made remarkable progress in a short time. Profit has become a dirty word, the heart of free enterprise, Wall Street has been reviled and redistribution of wealth is commencing apace.
But, before you start to think that you can hear the fat lady warming up, consider a couple of facts. First, this nation was born in a manner unique in history. Common folks rose up against tyranny and created an army of patriots from farmers and merchants, took on the most powerful kingdom on Earth, and won. We then experienced the worst civil war ever fought between residents of the same country, and survived, mostly intact. We then leveraged the power of the free market, exercised our freedom and became the most powerful and prosperous nation that ever existed on the face of the Earth.
We then went on to defeat our main rival in a war where both sides had the power to end all life on the planet. We were able to accomplish all this because the American dream of freedom and liberty resonate so strongly with the human spirit.
Now, we have been temporarily sidetracked by a coalition of frustrated communists, social misfits and self-hating neurotics. The progress they have made in a short period of time is remarkable and discouraging. It is understandable that this may be seen as irreversible. But only if you don't believe in the burning desire for freedom that beats in the human heart.
The new American Revolution that has started with the Tea Parties has begun in earnest and we have moved past the stage where no one is noticing it. The movement is now front and center in American politics and American life. Just as the first revolution in 1776, this one is unstoppable and will ultimately restore America to an even greater place than it was. You can count on it.
