Virginia Awakening

 

 

"He may not have robbed the bank, but he drove the get away car..."

It has been said by many as of late that we live in a disconnected country. People are asleep on their feet. Some are not paying attention, some are lost in the world of cyberspace, and many others just don't give a rip. This is the current theory on how we re-elected a guy who is on the turnpike to become the worst President in modern times.

Once in a while a few thousand folks who ARE paying attention can make quite a splash. That is exactly what happened last night in Virginia. After the good folks in that historic state recently elected a circus clown for Governor, I started to lose hope. Last night in a routine primary, a "going through the motions" primary, a small bit of history was made.

An unknown Econ Professor named David Brat really took it to the second ranking House Republican. Even though most who know Mr. Cantor believe him to be a very nice person, Eric made a fatal boo-boo. He started to drink his own bath water. Not uncommon on Capitol Hill. However, as the saying goes - "Timing is everything!"

With a President running rough shod over the country by shredding our Constitution before our very eyes, we have leadership in the House who cower in his presence. Eric Cantor is part of that leadership. The latest fiasco of intentionally dumping thousands of illegal Mexican kids on our southern border, is nothing less than criminal. Rather than yelling from the House floor that "THIS WILL NOT STAND MR. PRESIDENT!", Mr. Cantor said (again) "Maybe we need to look at immigration reform." As one of my former bosses would often say to a dumb response, "WRONG ANSWER!"

So, the patriots in Virginia, many of whom have Tea Party roots, said enough was enough. By doing nothing when one of the three branches of our government acts outside the Constitution, makes everyone who remains silent complicit to the crime. By not calling out the President, for not holding his feet to the fire, FOR NOT STOPPING THIS TRAVESTY, Eric was caught "driving the get away car". Last night, he was convicted by the people of Virginia.

Let this be a lesson to all who serve we the people. Even though some may be asleep, many of us are not. We care, we pay attention, and we vote. If you violate your oath of office, if you silently allow someone else to do so, we will come for you and throw your a** out of office. This country still is WE THE PEOPLE, not run by some elite class. Remember one thing - when you tread on the snake, quite often you will be bitten.
