I am highlighting this article because it it just an incredible piece of writing and pulls together what has been happening over the past 7 months better than anything I have read. Big H/T to RVO reader Linda for bringing this article to my attention over at Big Government.

“The Revolution will not be televised”
I LOVE THAT
To paraphrase President Bush at Ground Zero,
“The people who ignored us for so long will hear from all of us soon.”
Thank you for posting this article. It was moving to read how people came in wheelchairs & crutches. I’m feeling guilty I did not go(lame excuses) -next time I will be there!
“Robert Gibbs said on Friday that the White House was unaware of the rally… he didn’t know who this group was.”
Either he’s not telling the truth or the President’s press secretary is poorly informed and not even a bit observant.
Most likely he is like his boss - "He Lies!"
Excellent.
Thanks for posting it.
Thank-you!
Damn straight.
Gibbs doesn’t get out much. His nose is usually, well you know where it is most of the time...
Most likely he is like his boss - "He Lies!"
Most definitely a LIAR, as the ACORN does not fall far from the TREE!
Bagdad BobII at work! Nothing more or less!
Where is the rest of his article. I would like to read the entire thing.
Also, a patriotic octogenarian pushing her health to the limit and suffering a seizure in order to insure her voice is heard by her elected representatives, is a a “Human Interest” story of epic proportions.
There isn’t a soul on earth who would not be moved by that.
And yet, the socialist enabling complicit media continues to ignore compelling news stories in order to insure we continue our race to communism. I am sick to my stomach and enraged. This is more than wrong. It is evil. Thank goodness the MSM will soon be bankrupt and be replaced by grassroots journalism with a truth they can’t bury.
The hell with them.
The media’s ignoring to report on this patriotic 80-year-old woman who risked her life to demand to be heard by her elected representatives proves incontrovertibly one thing: they are literally heartless. They have no soul.
We knew that, but this illustration drives the point home.
Love that flag, want one.
Some were carrying the flag with the stars in a circle and a II in the middle of the circle. I assume that is for the Second Revolutionary War?
classical artist,
You didn’t go from N.Y. and I didn’t go from Florida.
And I too will attend next time.
If zero and his news boy Gibbs didn’t hear about this one, wait til next one is much much larger and the dummies claim they didn’t hear about it either.
Lots of folks who missed this one won’t miss the next one.
Time to raise a little hell.
(I hope you don’t mind me parking my “Status Quo” remarks here.)
*************************************
THE NEW STATUS QUO -— (not so new)
When Obama speaks of the dreaded Status Quo he
is attempting to marshal 60’s anti-establishment,
Political Science majors who rebelled against “the
man”. You can find them woven into the fabric of
America. They are educators, lawyers, politicians,
Journalists, Union members and Representatives.
Yet... they are “THE MAN”.
They are the “Status Quo”.
They are a nerdy herd of Vietnam War protesters
stuck in a time warp. They are conformists - grossly
out of touch, self validating, elitist snobs. Yet the
image of America they loathe is a crystal clear
reflection of themselves.
Obama is correct... the “Status Quo” must be dismantled.
THE REVOLUTION WILL NOT BE TELEVISED
(By Gil Scott Heron)
You will not be able to stay home, brother.
You will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out.
You will not be able to lose yourself on skag and skip,
Skip out for beer during commercials,
Because the revolution will not be televised.
The revolution will not be televised.
The revolution will not be brought to you by Xerox
In 4 parts without commercial interruptions.
The revolution will not show you pictures of Nixon
blowing a bugle and leading a charge by John
Mitchell, General Abrams and Spiro Agnew to eat
hog maws confiscated from a Harlem sanctuary.
The revolution will not be televised.
The revolution will not be brought to you by the
Schaefer Award Theatre and will not star Natalie
Woods and Steve McQueen or Bullwinkle and Julia.
The revolution will not give your mouth sex appeal.
The revolution will not get rid of the nubs.
The revolution will not make you look five pounds
thinner, because the revolution will not be televised, Brother.
There will be no pictures of you and Willie May
pushing that shopping cart down the block on the dead run,
or trying to slide that color television into a stolen ambulance.
NBC will not be able predict the winner at 8:32
or report from 29 districts.
The revolution will not be televised.
There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down
brothers in the instant replay.
There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down
brothers in the instant replay.
There will be no pictures of Whitney Young being
run out of Harlem on a rail with a brand new process.
There will be no slow motion or still life of Roy
Wilkens strolling through Watts in a Red, Black and
Green liberation jumpsuit that he had been saving
For just the proper occasion.
Green Acres, The Beverly Hillbillies, and Hooterville
Junction will no longer be so damned relevant, and
women will not care if Dick finally gets down with
Jane on Search for Tomorrow because Black people
will be in the street looking for a brighter day.
The revolution will not be televised.
There will be no highlights on the eleven o’clock
news and no pictures of hairy armed women
liberationists and Jackie Onassis blowing her nose.
The theme song will not be written by Jim Webb,
Francis Scott Key, nor sung by Glen Campbell, Tom
Jones, Johnny Cash, Englebert Humperdink, or the Rare Earth.
The revolution will not be televised.
The revolution will not be right back after a message
bbout a white tornado, white lightning, or white people.
You will not have to worry about a dove in your
bedroom, a tiger in your tank, or the giant in your toilet bowl.
The revolution will not go better with Coke.
The revolution will not fight the germs that may cause bad breath.
The revolution will put you in the driver’s seat.
The revolution will not be televised, will not be televised,
will not be televised, will not be televised.
The revolution will be no re-run brothers;
The revolution will be live.
I saw a great photo posted here of a woman at the rally holding a sign that said “I’m here so I could say at least I tried” or something like that.
