We are about to see a revolution in America
It was an inspirational victory—for the conservative right throughout America. The outrage was palpable.
Conservatives who were not on board for Mr. Romney, the GOP candidate running against Obama for President, began a rush to Romney’s side moments after the Court’s decision was announced, and money began to pour into Romney’s campaign coffers. In less than four hours 1 million and a half dollars had found its way into the hands of the Romney campaign. And the spigot was barely turned on.
A tsunami of outrage rolled across America picking up steam as it went. Even the US House of Representatives announced another vote to repeal Obamacare was scheduled for early July when the representatives return from their July 4th recess.
The lackadaisical republican base was ignited with a new vigor, vitality and resolve to toss out Obama and as much of his cohort now in the US Senate and the US House of Representatives as is possible in the Fall election.
Staunch conservatives who have complained that Romney is too moderate, not conservative enough, swallowed their distaste for the nominee-to-be with the realization that Romney is, indeed, the only candidate we have to replace Obama. They moved resolutely into the Romney camp.
Those talking heads of the chattering class of the news shows and talk shows on the cable news TV channels who STILL proclaimed the election is STILL about the economy will look back on their moment of very bad judgment after November with shame and embarrassment—and with the knowledge that on Thursday June 28th, 2012, the terms of the election changed from the economy to repealing Obamacare and defeating all those supporters of Obamacare who remain in the Congress. THAT is now the motivation for sweeping the White House and the Congress in the November election.
We are about to see a revolution in America.
As my friend Alan Caruba rightly pointed out in a fiery commentary immediately following the announcement of the Court’s decision, America is now a police state.
Mr. Caruba is, sadly, correct. As of Thursday, June 28th, 2012, the constitution is null and void—as is the Bill of Rights. Now the government can command any American citizen to do anything it chooses and if that hapless citizen does not comply, the government can fine him with a heavy tax to compel him to comply with that government command. By any definition—America is now a police state.
