Has A&E awakened a sleeping giant?

December 24, 2013 (americanthinker.com) – While the Japanese were celebrating the bombing of Pearl Harbor in December of 1941, the mastermind of that attack, Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, had a sobering message for his countrymen. "We have awakened a sleeping giant," he said.

Even before the war began, the admiral had warned his emperor that Japan would enjoy early victories in any war with the United States, but that winning streak would last only six months to a year, after which American industrial might would inevitably overwhelm the small island nation.

He was right. For the first few months of World War II, the Japanese war machine steamrolled over the Pacific, humiliating and defeating the best that the United States and its allies (British Commonwealth and Dutch) could throw against it, winning battle after battle. To some, it seemed hopeless to resist.

Then came the Battle of Midway, where the Japanese Navy suffered its first catastrophe, and the long, bloody road to Allied victory began.

For years now, the gay lobby has steamrolled over the Christian conservative movement, humiliating us and defeating us in battle after battle. Then came the battle of "Duck Dynasty," and the gay lobby suffered a major backlash. Have they finally met their Midway?

How can it be a “Midway?” Only one side is fighting. I see most regular Americans, including Conservatives, just rolling over on this issue.

So, conservatives didn’t flood social media with support for Mr. Robertson and his simple statement of traditional religious views? I guess they didn’t convince Cracker Barrel to rescind their decision to bow to the lavender mafia. Conservatives are just figuring out that they can fight and are learning the means with which to do it.

Yes, but as in the past, the giant takes time to fully awaken. And the giant suffers badly for a while.

But once the giant is fully awakened, woe to its foes...

Yeah, unfortunately, I googled afterwards, & found American Thinker. I saw it on Lifesite. I don’t do too well searching from FreeRepublic.

They won't have to worry about that any more. We've offshored our industries.

“We have awakened a sleeping giant,”

And the rest of that quote: and filled him with a terrible resolve.

Wouldn't it be funny if Duck Commander duck calls started showing up in places where ducks aren't being hunted?

Oh, say, like counter protesting the Lettuce Granola Buttsex Tofu crowd's protest of Duck Dynasty or a town hall or a 2 million Tea Party rally to protest amnesty.

Look, the Progressives (Communists) keep talking about “dog whistles” so I think a response with an actual duck whistle would be appropriate.

Our new battle cry is “Don’t Fu*k with the Duck”! The flage image is that of a Duck with a shotgun and Sy’s head.

Momma Duck is Miss Kay with a meat cleaver in her hand and a box of GlAAD Wrap in the other.

Picture: Phil going into the bank with a suitcase full of cash saying “Happy, Happy, Happy”!

And as the late Phil Foster used to say, “That’s what I like about the South”!

Or as another feller once said, “Hey Grandma. Put some yeast in the Mississippi. The South shall rise again”.

Too bad Helen Thomas died. She could have been a continuing guest on “Swamp People”, one of those large snapping turtles the size of Kansas. “Bite your head off”.

Tell Nancy Pelosi that the government is going to put up a federal center in Monroe, LA and she’ll be there buying up the land in a liberal’s second.

Tell Obama that Louisiana is the 58th state. What does he know?

I’m “Rolling, Rolling, Rolling on the River” and “Up Around the Bend”.
