Yesterday, out in the Nevada desert, a disaffected group of has beens, wipeouts, dingbats and God knows what else descended on the hometown of Harry Reid to vent their anger at him and Obamanation. They were lead by Sarah Palin, in her latest reinvention of whatever she claims to be these days. Theirs, a lost cause from the beginning, is rapidly taking a transformation to irrelevancy, much like the period of the early 20th century when the automobile overtook the horse and buggy.
These 10, 000 stong calling themselves a movement for "taking back America". Funny, last time I looked more than 30 milliom Americans were without health insurance. For some reason the media seems to be fixed on the former, watching and recording every move they move.
President Obama chose to concentrate on the 30 million because those numbers matter most. The cabal protesting yesterday are a throwback to the 20th century, a time when America became a world power and while we continue to hold that status we are not alone on the perch anymore. There are others, like China, who feel more worthy and want to replace America on that mantle. The people protesting our President yesterday are wasting their time. Change has come and people better get use to the new "world order" or get swept away in it.
The GOP felt that they could break President Obama, but he has exposed them as a silly, bratty bunch of whining nincompoops with no ideas, in conclusion, a clueless bunch. When they said NO! Our President said YES WE CAN! When the G no P talked about Federalism and Conservative Principles, our President talked about making all Americans lives better.
The crowd out in the desert yesterday are suckers, still holding out for the America of yesteryear. The woman leading them has profited from Obama's change mantra more than anyone, yet she still is living the illusion that she got her fame and fortune based on her merits, savvy and intellect.
Last week, the GOP got a lesson, one that they need to heed and take seriously. That message is that President Obama is finished with warm ups and the real game has begun. It's time to either work with him, which he wants to do, or risk alienation and irrelevancy, it's just that simple.
Our President has chosen his road, his path to the promise land and those out in the desert? They're driving home in Yugos.
