“Yes We Can” do better than a two party system of Lefties who run from their own shadows and Right Wingers who take their marching orders from those who thrive in the shadows. However, instead of making a joke out of “The Boston Tea Party,” let’s have a serious revolution again. As Jefferson would surely agree, “it’s been a long, long time.” We don’t need knives or guns, despite the number of pitchfork carriers in Congress, State Houses and tea parties. However, we do need to engage “Free Will” to turn off “talking heads” and tune out heated rhetoric of Town Hall screamers sabotaging our National collective memory. When Franklin, Hancock, Washington, Adams and Jefferson preached “Change,” the world listened because at our core, “We the People” not only believed in such “Change,” but made sacrifices to do our part to be this Revolutionary “Change.” Farmers, doctors, clerks, preachers, even businessmen, landowners and lawyers joined the First American Army, with less than what was provided our sons and daughters at war some 227 years later. Concord or Afghanistan, Lexington or Iraq, on both occasions American FAMILIES provided for those who fought for our freedom, what their government did not.

In 1972, Watergate diminished America’s Revolutionary “Exceptionalism,” though its full impact remained in the shadows until some 32 years later, when “The Dark Side” was reincarnated in the light of day, personified in the re-election of an administration transparent only in its inability to “preserve, protect and defend” working class FAMILIES. In “The Dawning of the Age of Aquarius,” those who ran to run the “Ship of State,” became “Enemies of the State,” casting off long time friends in “Old Europe” and using the Dream of “Old Glory,” to distort the Spirit of “1776.” After slipping in through a supreme back door, the new Watergate burglars masterfully re-directed our civic attention and “We the People” got “Left Behind.” So, merrily we retrieved our remotes, thus limiting our vision, while increasing our size, but losing our center: the security and survival of Middle Class FAMILIES.

Since what’s LEFT is paralyzed inactivity, the RIGHT thing to do all together now in lock step with each other, is join in faithful chorus, “All we like Sheep.” Not so fast, 2010, like 1775 presents “We the People” with at least three options: 1) Leftists’ “Change,” mostly beneficial to those with less than a $250,000 annual income, which, depending on what you take in your tea, sounds akin to the “Socialism” of our Public School System; 2) Raising our Right pinkies in salute to the Reds, and steep in the Status Quo cup of “Cool, Cool Conservative Men,” like the team of Alito & Cheney; OR 3) As the primary function of both sides of the isle is to be re-elected, we can get them re-elected to private life. Yes, ALL of them! Remove the fat cats on the Right and eject the scaredycats on the Left.

Start by going to your reasonably intelligent local leaders, especially Teachers, Doctors, Librarians and other Community Minded pros -- no bankers of course, and offer them another job. A career change! A seat in Congress, with the proviso that they too will be voted out of office if they fail to deliver some degree of relief from our near rerun of “The Great Depression.” Now, now, it’s unreasonable to expect that the damage inflicted over eight years can be undone in one, but “Let Us Begin:” 1) To our LEFT: if you cannot manage to make some modicum of progress in the most pressing issues of Employment, Financial Assistance for Small Business Owners, “Medicare for All” Health Care, Banking & Credit Card Reform, Education, Campaign Finance Reform, Homeland Security, Restoring the “Government of the People, by the People, for the People” before it perishes from the earth, due to a lack of honesty with the people, and trust in Congress from the People -- AND 2) To our RIGHT: if you allow men like Boehner, Cantor and McConnell, to in any way block such forward moving progress, You’re Out, LEFT & RIGHT! You can even take your pitchforks with you. I hear some special rooms have just become available on the southeastern end of a nearby Caribbean Island. It may be too late for the water sports, but there is still plenty of uniformed security. Sounds perfectly Right to me. You Betcha!
