It happened on your watch
I have been watching with interest the recent victories of "tea party candidates" in numerous primary races across the country. The grass roots Patriots are routinely trouncing their RNC loyalist adversaries. The Republican incumbents are left feeling robbed of "their" seats and wondering what happened. They are stomping their feet like spoiled children having a temper tantrum, screaming "If I can't have it, no one can!"
I know what happened. The United States of America crumbled on their watch. They can cry "but I didn't vote for it" or "I argued against it" or "I told them it wasn't a good idea", but it falls on deaf ears. When push came to shove, what did they DO about it. Nothing. When the health care bill was passed in the middle of the night they did nothing. When loyalist supreme court justices where sworn in they did nothing. When corporate CEO's were raping the American public they did nothing. They let it happen. Then, to add insult to injury, they stood in front of news cameras and blamed every evil on the men and women on the other side of the aisle, who where, in fact, their co-conspirators, knowing that the ignorant public would open wide and swallow the poison they had concocted in the darkness of night.
The ignorant public isn't so ignorant after all. They haven't believed the lies. They are no longer buying what the loyalists are selling. They are standing up and saying "It happened on your watch". They are speaking with their votes. The People are voting for fellow citizens who have never held a public office. They are looking for representatives who will actually represent them, not the established system. The people are saying "It happened on your watch, and you did nothing". The American public knows, "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing" (commonly attributed to Irish Political Philosopher Edmund Burke). Evil has been flourishing and it has been happening on their watch.
Our "good" men did nothing. And now they are paying the price. Our Patriots our taking back their country. They are not willing to allow evil to triumph. American Patriots have taken the watch. Loyalists, consider this your notice.
