I just caught this WaPo piece over at Memeorandum, another attempt to 'counter' the skyrocketing, runaway success of the Tea Party movement to save America from socialism, despotism, cronyism, nannyism and bankruptcy:
In an effort to replicate the tea party's success, 170 liberal and civil rights groups are forming a coalition that they hope will match the movement's political energy and influence. They promise to "counter the tea party narrative" and help the progressive movement find its voice again after 18 months of floundering.Ok so wait a minute here, will yah? Let's back up just a bit, ok? Who was elected to the office of the Presidency of the Unites States on January 20, 2009? Why is it then that the progressive-collectivists across the United States feel the need to 'find it's voice after 18 months of 'floundering' for 18 months?'
Didn't you get everything you wanted wrapped in a toothy grin, useless bromides and platitudes, broad swaths of industry-socialist takeovers, redistribution, and neo-Marxism in Democrat-party-cabal form?
Just asking.
More on 'One Nation':
The large-scale attempt at liberal unity, dubbed "One Nation," will try to revive themes that energized the progressive grassroots two years ago. In a repurposing of Barack Obama's old campaign slogan, organizers are demanding "all the change" they voted for -- a poke at the White House.This is an easy one and I don't have to go beyond this on this one. "One Nation" will never happen, it will never succeed, it will never match even a smidgeon of the Tea Party energy, numbers, and effect.
Why?
Because it is based on a disjointed socialistic progressive/collectivist mantra that most Americans disagree with. And even beyond that (and more importantly), the Tea Party movement is a grassroots based gathering of like minded that fear American prosperity being lost for future generations.
Redistributionist-collectivist ideals will never match that kind of fervor, not at least in this Constitutional Republic and not in my lifetime.
I'm reminded of a very simple Tea Party axiom:
