The election of Barack Obama may actually be the best thing that ever happened to our nation, if he and the liberals don't destroy it first.
Increasing evidence appears to indicate a significant shift to the right in this country, since Obama's victory last November. A recent Gallup poll shows that people who identify themselves as conservative outnumber liberals in every state in the Union. Witness the tea parties, the town hall meetings, and the rise in the sale of conservative books.
Why the swing to the right? America is finally waking up and realizing that this country elected a Marxist president who surrounded himself with the most radical group of individuals ever assembled in Washington. And this realization has sparked an anger not seen in many years.
How did this happen in just a few short months?
In order to understand the revolt of the American people, one must examine why Obama was elected in the first place.
Obama preached a message of hope and change, and an electorate tired of eight years of Bush ignored many of the specifics of the changes Obama wanted to bring about. Instead, they bought the 'sizzle', not the steak. If they had done their homework then, as they have subsequently done with regards to the health care bill, they would never have voted for someone hell bent on taking this country so far to the left as to be unrecognizable from what the founders planned.
But whether due to being mesmerized by his eloquent pre-packaged speeches, or the opportunity to make history by putting the first black man in the White House, voters ignored Obama's associations with people of questionable character and his own checkered past, and thrust him into a position that he would use to radically alter the nation.
Those same voters are now suffering buyer's remorse. The stimulus package which was sold as one that would create up to 4 million jobs, has now resulted in a 9.7 percent unemployment rate, the highest in 26 years. Bailouts of major financial institutions and the car companies, has given rise to the impression that Obama and his minions are attempting to nationalize the private sector. And Obama's radical, anti-American czars have proven that he is naive at least in choosing his associates, or a Marxist at worst planning on changing the very foundation of our country.
All of this has combined to trigger that innermost part of the American psyche that shows who we really are: traditionalists who do not want to see the face of our nation changed.
While the mainstream media is still in the tank for Obama, the alternative news sources and the blogosphere have shown a dramatic increase in conservative thought and its resulting angst.
There are some who dismiss this shift to the right as merely a reflection of the change of power in Washington. The publishers of many of the conservative books that have begun flying off the shelves say this was expected. When one party is out of office, people look for and respond to those in the media who can support their cause and empathize with their frustration.
But it may be more than that. Some experts in the media say that the increase in conservative thought in books and the Internet is the result of what is perceived as an elite mainstream press that dismisses conservative opinion and traditionalist values. In other words, the media ignores the heartland of America.
The anger resulting from the health care debacle combined with the radical plans of an administration gone out of control may result in significant losses for the liberals in the midterm elections of 2010. There are those who see the distinct possibility that conservatives may re-take the House and Senate, leaving Obama and his czars crippled in their attempt to damage our nation irreparably. This could even bode well for the next presidential election in 2012.
However, there is still time for the leftists to harm our country within the next 14 months. That is why it is imperative that the people continue to speak out and hold the politicians' feet to the fire on every issue from health care to the economy, and from every move by this administration to trample on the rights of American citizens.
If the people can stave off the attempts by the liberals to destroy our country between now and November of 2010, history may prove that that it was the election of Barack Obama that triggered the return of this nation to what the Founding Fathers intended.

America is finally waking up. I like the sound of that.
Hey great article.
Rush recently started saying that healthcare will be Obama’s Waterloo and Obama will be the DemocRATs Waterloo.
One can certainly hope so...
His minions are of the highest grade of ignorant, but they are also devoted.
Wishful thinking though.
Gird up your loins, it is going to get brutal out there.
i am hoping that this nitwit will destroy the liberal left forever.
I hope so!
I just want them to connect the dots to OBAMA sooner. I rejoice that Van Jones has resigned. Obama and Jones have a glass jaw. We have more to oust.
I’m not so sure about this.
The problems were EVIDENT during the campaign. Rip Van Winkle voters should have awakened during the Joe The Plumber exchange: “redistribution of wealth is a good thing”
If there were any doubters about this puppet and his masters, they’re shouldn’t have been after that.
Things may also unfortunately escalate to R2/CW2 in order to defend and restore the Constitution.
Bookmarked to read later.
Bump!
“they’re” = there
The political realignment that Jimmy Carter started in 1979 and Bill Clinton continued in 1993 could be completed by Obama this year. I hope so.
1) Obama and the dims will overreach.
2) This ain't France.
Can't say we weren't warned. "commander zero" was out in the open about it, said he was going to "fundamentally change" and "remake" America.
We didn't "elect" this Usurper, Media did. with the help of Acorn election fraud.
I do not believe for one second that 50% of American people actually voted for this fraud-who ever he really is. Not living Americans anyway.
We must re-learn the ability to laugh out loud at the village idiot. Once we did so. More recently we subjected ourselves to this dammned Political Correctness, and steadily began losing the ability to see preposterousness and posturing for what it truly was. Is.
George Orwell was right — to restrict the language is to restrict the thoughts that CAN be thunk.
Let no one cast shame on you when you say something they don’t like, or use a word on the Disapproved List. Tell ‘em to crammit where the sun don’t shine.
Reclaim your Free Speech vigorously — aggressively.
The First Amendment was not made to protect pretty speech, nice speech, speech we all agree with. It was crafted to protect the unpopular and the provocative and the critical. Including especially Speech Against The Reich.
Yep. He came right out and said "we lived in the greatest country in the world" and he was going to change it.
He didn't say we lived in the crappiest country in the world, and he was going to fix it.
The MSM knowingly and carefully marketed a tightly scripted prepackaged illusion to the American people. That’s how Obama got elected.
It’s all unraveling now and the MSM will go down along with this administration and Congress. Of course, certain news organizations are more complicit than others, such as NBC and the NYT. The real question should be - why?
Rush predicted the Left would self destruct if they overreached. The Left blinded by absolute power is sowing the seeds of its own demise.
