Liberals In The Wilderness

My one big hope for next year is that the election of last month was a precursor of what is it come: that we will finally rid ourselves of the scourge of liberalism, socialism, communism, progressives and an overarching state. That we can push these people back to the tiny little percentage they deserve – I’d say maybe around the same percent that thinks Congress was doing a good job – less than ten.

More and more, day after day, I’m seeing it. Unlike James Carville’s prediction that liberals and progressives would rule for the next 40 years, I’m going to predict that, starting with the 112th Congress, that we will see a steady reduction in the numbers of people supporting that side. Even better, how about down to the same market share of people that use Macs: 5%. Would be easy to do: most progressives that I know use Macs anyway. Maybe there some connection between being a Mac user and wanting to be ruled by a dictator? ;)

You see it everywhere: you see it in Ron Paul’s Campaign For Liberty. You see it in the Tea Party movement. You see it on YouTube, where the support for rap groups like the Young Cons, which probably would have been more negative than positive a mere 2 years ago, is now skyrocketing. You see it with the huge numbers for Fox News, and the dismal ratings for every other left leaning news source. You see it with numbers dropping for the Huffington Post and the Daily Kos. More and more people are turning away from the shrill liberal voices trying to take us away from our founders vision, and turning towards that vision.

Has there been any other time in history where the sales of Atlas Shrugged ever been so high? (There have been many multiple attempts to make this movie over the last 50 years, and somehow its finally slated for release on April 15th, 2011) Has there ever been any other time in history where people are reading and re-reading the Constitution? Has there been any other time in history where a majority of Americans have said as much of a resounding NO to big government?

And this is just the beginning. The seeds were planted over the last few years. They sprouted in November. And in the next 40 years, we’ll drive government back to where it should be.

I can tell. I can sense it. A new day is dawning in America, and it’s up to us to keep the light solid and bright.
