" Americans Are Messaging Each Other 'S.O.S.' "

"It's clear that the clowns are in charge, and they're quickly giving away the circus."

That's a line from the linked article. The title of this American Thinker article is Americans Are Messaging Each Other 'S.O.S.' and, yes, it does make you think.

In many and varied ways, Americans are tapping out the international distress signal to each other since Washington, D.C. isn't listening.

To all except the most zealous supporters of the Democratic Party, the intentions of the party in power have become clear in less than a year. It's also clear that there's not much we citizens can do about it until the 2010 elections. For now, we hunker down and watch the train wreck in slow motion. This is not defeatism. For now, it's reality.

Those Americans who align themselves with the GOP have watched their elected officials awaken to the warning signs many of us saw back during the election. Now Senator Lindsey Graham offers sound-bite criticism in his questioning of Attorney General Eric Holder, a man he once voted to confirm. Graham thinks the NYC terrorist trial is a bad idea. Like Detective John McClane, who in the movie Die Hard finally manages to alert the police to a hostage situation by dropping a terrorist's body on a patrol car from several stories up, our message to Graham is "Welcome to the party, pal." His friend John McCain, who wouldn't use candidate Obama's middle name during the campaign, is now so bold as to say the s-word: socialism. Welcome to the party, John.

So it's neither to Republican nor Democrat politicians that many Americans are tapping out their S.O.S. We're messaging each other. Occasionally, even complete strangers. The angst felt by many for the future of the country, and for some the future that awaits children and grandchildren, grows daily. There are fewer jokes on the street about Obama than there were about Bush. For many of us, none of this has a humorous edge to it. Satire, occasionally. But humor, so little now as to be none.

So we're messaging each other, tapping out . . . _ _ _ . . . to the like-minded, regardless of any political party proclivity, any status in life or community, any vocation, any color, anything. Their name is Legion, for there are many of them. And their numbers are growing. This should alarm the career politicians of both parties, for it makes their future much less predictable.

Lord Obama and the rest of the Democrat gangsters are fomenting a revolution of which they seem unaware or do not care. This gang has taken on the trappings of royalty and "the peasants be damned" attitude. This may not end well...for all of us.

One more paragraph of the article: "Most of us probably have a friend or two who explained his or her pending vote for Obama by offering assurances that Obama would move to the center if elected and govern in bipartisan cooperation with a Republican Congress. That analysis looks silly and naïve in retrospect."

No, not silly. This was willful wishful thinking at the minimum. Every voter for Obama...and for any Democrat in a leadership position...has much to answer for. Fortunately the true believers are still easily identifiable...they still have the bumper stickers.
