Does anyone here think that the American People have finally awoken?

Or will they be lulled back to sleep?

Most people believe the *Delusion*

These people who have denied the Power of Jesus Christ and do not have the seal of protection.

I don’t think the GOP is even in the game any more. I’m beginning to wonder if they are name only and only going along with the controllers.

Very Doubtful! Ignorance Runs Rampant!

Especially, here in Maryland.

As long as people like Glenn Beck and others on the FNC keep on bringing this liberal crap to our attention, the people will put pressure on our government, imo.

Some but not enough to cause a change in the socialist agenda. I did find it interesting that there were a couple of “union” callers on Rush yesterday claiming that the rank and file are waking up and listening to him. But that is just radio talk and no verification.

They'll give Obama something — they're generous to a fault.

“Or will they be lulled back to sleep?”

Lord, Lord, Lord! I need a nap or something. When I first read this, I thought it said:
Or will they be KILLED back to sleep?

No. I don’t think we will be lulled. The FIGHT or FLIGHT instinct is there for our survival. I think people realize this. We are in a REAL fight for our survival, and there is no turning back.

Depends on 0be, Fish-wrap & Axleshaft. If they keep it up, folks will be on fire by next year’s voting.

Yes, the American taxpayers are fully engaged. I just hope they don’t give up. The GOP is not doing a damn thing as far as I can tell.

I respectfully disagree. Think about when America has been "fully engaged" in the past....9/11? Pearl Harbor? Kennedy Assassination? Amnesty (maybe not even fully)? Vietnam Anti-war?

There are examples when the "overwhelming majority" of Americans actively capture the same idea and speak with the same opinion. But I would define "fully engaged" as every American (85%) fully aware of the spending issues, cap and trade, health care, foreign appeasement policy, etc. When as many people can name the president and vice president as watch American Idol, I believe the saturation point of "fully engaged" would be appropriate.

When American's are "fully engaged", the world feels the rumble and politicians become servants of the people.

The “guilty whites” thought they were buying absolution for past sins by voting for the guy.

They now found out they were ripped off. This guy has no intention of “letting it go” - he’s going to crank up the racial tension to the max by doing everything he can to get payback for grievances real or imagined.

That’s like wondering whether the upmove in stocks since March is a new bull market, or just a bear market rally.

The number of people who have “woken up” and are now engaged in political battle is still tiny compared to the population. The number of people who will assemble in DC on 9/12, after months of organizing, will be small compared to the number of people liberals got to demonstrate, on short notice, for amnesty for illegal invaders. There might be some movement, but the power is still with the liberals.

I have often remarked that this country required a serious wake-up call from its periodic idiotic dalliances with leftist “leaders” and suggested that we needed a dedicated Marxist in the White House to rub our noses in the REAL DEAL. We got one with Obama and he may prove to be the best thing that ever happened to the cause of freedom here.

While making that suggestion, my fingers were crossed. On one hand, I feared that the majority of modern-day, government schooled folk and welfare leeches would come to embrace Marxist philosophy and practice and America — the IDEA — would come to an end. On the other hand, I held out hope that my fellow citizens would reject this alien ideology and rebel in a demonstrable way. I thank God that the latter is happening as I write this. The anger and outrage are palpable to even the hard-core leftists now infesting the White House. Barring some catastrophe — which malignant Machiavellians like Rahm “A crisis is too good to waste” Emanuel are fully capable of orchestrating — they will be shown the gate at the next election.

But what has puzzled me most through the run-up to this point (with some notable exceptions of which Georgia’s Dr. Broun and Dr. Price are but two) – is this: WHERE ARE THE PRINCIPLED MEN — REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS ALIKE — WHO SHOULD HAVE BEEN STANDING UP TO THIS GUY?? In order that they might avoid the tough questions inherent in governing this nation, have they shipped so much of THEIR power down Pennsylvania Avenue that they are now AFRAID to reclaim it? Why has it fallen to Mark Levin, Michelle Malkin, Rep. Bachmann, Glenn Beck, Rush, Boortz and a handful of others – in Washington and without — to do the job of those we elected to office – and swore an oath — to guard the Constitution from “...all enemies foreign and DOMESTIC?” They have largely been MIA!

And, while they have been missing, Obama has appointed more czars than the Russians had through their entire history. I asked Chambliss and Isakson (REPUBLICANS from Georgia) if they were just a tad worried that Obama was forming a politbureau here to replace THEM. I’m still waiting for a response that makes sense.

And one final thought as we look forward to replacing the Marxist-n-Thief come 2012: What sort of people have we elected when a small, attractive mother from Alaska named Sarah has BIGGER CAJONES than the alleged MEN now warming seats and wasting expensive space on that hill at the eastern end of Pennsylvania Avenue?

I’m just asking the question we all should be asking.

Have YOU asked the question?
