Is That Light?

I am a big fan of movies as my posts indicate. They provide a universal back drop that most people can use to gauge events. One of my all time favorite movies, Forest Gump, has a lesson for the media elites and liberal politicians who are complaining about the response they are getting at the town hall meetings. The scene is a podium set up in front of the reflecting pool in our nation’s capital. The crowd is all there to hear protests to the Vietnam War and somehow Forest gets pulled up and gives a rousing but unheard speech. The media will always applaud a protest when it furthers their agenda. They splash it all over the news and praise its very essence. How herioc. How noble. How pathetic. Now that the silent majority is protesting, it is has to be staged or a big business plot to stop progress. In the media's mind, there is no way that the dopey, backwoods average American would think to oppose what is "good" for them. Their idea of progress leads to loss of freedom. That is not progress, its slavery.

What we need to realize is that a small vocal portion of the population has made it appear that they are a majority. The liberals have been showing up and playing the drama card to get attention and shape public opinion. The idea of PETA as a main stream movement is a farce. We eat meat and wear clothes. Thinking that animals are somehow equal in value to humans is absurd on numerous levels. Global warming is another cult that has somehow infected the minds of many Americans. When the main contributor to green house gas emissions is the sun, it is impossible to even try to look me in the eye and blame mankind. Welfare, entitlements, health care… You name the “progress” and you find a small group of liberals, looking for ways to destroy our freedoms and gain power for themselves.

This is what has the main stream media and the liberal government officials in an uproar. They cannot stand for their own tactics to be turned on them. They have poked the sleeping giant one too many times and they are pissed off. Those of us who love freedom and realize that we have lost too much of it are finally becoming vocal about what needs to be done. We have taken the page from the liberal playbook and are now on the offense. Pray that we can somehow swing the pendulum back the other direction and restore our country to the greatness our Founding Fathers envisioned before the wants of the few become the laws for the many.
