To my way of thinking, we are one spark away from an all out rebellion. That spark will be a leader to step forward and be a Thomas Paine, to incite like Samuel Adams or Patrick Henry, to risk all like Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and above all, be a conciliator like Benjamin Franklin.
Senator Coburn has asked us to take to the streets. Rush Limbaugh exhorts us to act. Ann Coulter continually pokes her finger in the Cyclop’s eye. Are they the only ones? Will we follow where they lead? Or is American Idol more important than the American republic? You decide; I already have.
“You decide; I already have.”
Like Mr. Henry, I know what course I will take.
