They Hear But Do Not Listen

I enjoy CPAC because it is like the grass beaters in a tiger hunt.The noise startles the political pundits making them grasp for explains in a reality beyond their comprehension. It made Sunday's parade of political whores more entertaining than usual.

Remember the scene from "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" where a king is trying to explain to two guards that he wants then to keep his son in this room? No matter how simply, loudly or often the king explained his order, the guards just couldn't get it. Today, the Democrat and Republican parties are the guards and the American people are the king.

The Governor of Michigan, that's the state that looks like a mitten and a beggar's cup that does it budget in blood because it ran our of red ink, was asked, "The Tea Party protests, poll numbers and the election in Massachusetts have expressed the American people's opposition to the current health care bill in Congress. Isn't it arrogant to pass the bill with 51 votes using a parliamentary trick?" The governor non-responded, "the people want us to fix health care. We have to do something." The interviewer quickly joined her in the shallow end of the think tank with, "do you think this city is broken? Washington isn't passing any bills."

This brain trust was followed by the circus clowns known as, The Panel. The Democrats interpreted the mood of the public as a desire to break the deadlock in congress by running over the Republicans. The Republicans saw it as a signal to dust off their old conservative campaign speeches. To a man, woman and stupid liberal, they couldn't explain how Ron Paul won the CPAC straw poll. "He's not a mainstream Republican."

If asked to name someone in Washington who both by word and deed upholds their oath to the US Constitution, the top three answers are, Nobody, I don't know and Ron Paul. The message no one within soul sucking range of the beltway can decipher is "return to the constitution." Ron Paul is not mainstream because he stands by the constitution instead of handing out free government cheese. The American have realized they can no longer afford free government anything and want it to end now.

The Big Question of 2010 is does anyone understand what a constitutional federal government means? The liberals love the unconstitutional programs. The conservatives, the unconstitutional laws. The current federal government is more than 50% unconstitutional budget, laws and regulation. How will people vote when they realize their unconditional ox could be gored? It means no free lunch for the kids and no free health care for grandma. No social security or DEA. A federal government of little more than customs, immigration and military. Can people who find common cause in opposition to taxes agree on spending cuts? Do they support the constitution or only oppose Obama's excesses? Any fool can take the first step of a thousand mile journey but few survive the challenges.

The Big Event of the weekend was the Michele Obama interview. The liberals saw the smartest, most articulate first lady in history. The conservatives saw the Queen of "You Know." My count for "you know" was 68. If "right" being substituted for "you know" was included, the count would be closer to 80. 20% of the words slithering between her lips were "umm."

Michele spoke of all of us eating rabbit food without mentioning the government force her vision for our lives requires. "Food deserts" without questioning why the free market hasn't provided grocery stores in those neighborhoods.

[Has anyone wondered how Stevie Wonder auditions his hot looking backup singers?]

Has America really awaken or is it just sleep walking? Can people give up their government dependency for the hardships of Freedom?
