Nancy's Dream

Nancy Pelosi had a dream, America as it should be, An America were elected officials are immune from criticism. An America where the only murmurs heard from the people would be the obligatory applause from needy surfs, clamoring behind barricades, baring name tags, hoisting preprinted supportive banners supplied by acorn, hoping to catch a glimpse of their noble leaders as they board glimmering G-5's. This is an America where the subjects would be grateful for all that Pelosi provides them. They would be satisfied in their wanting, for everyone would be wanting equally, for what better way for the citizen to understand and support Pelosi's vision and concern for the poor than for you to be poor as well. In Nancy Pelosi's dream anything else would be Un-American. Unfortunately Madam Speaker it is time to wake up. After years of apathy resulting from prosperity, the American People have awakened around you.


This is truly a significant time in U.S. history, we see town hall meetings erupting, we see large groups of people of little or no acquaintance gathering in angry protest of elected officials and the overall direction of government, the once casual observer is now engaged. They are angry because they feel betrayed, they have trusted these elected officials and now they see that trust has been abused. They are agitated by representatives who over promise and overspend, They are enraged by representative who cannot clearly respond to citizens criticism or understand their concerns, and even more these representatives feel they are above reproach. The people have grown inpatient with pompous politicians who spout platitudinal, focused grouped phrases to justify their actions, instead they seek serious answers and accountability.


The Senators and representatives attend these town halls and in their arrogance expect to be given free range to dictate to their constituents, telling them that D.C. knows best and their concerns are unwarranted. But their contradictory nebulas talking points have been rejected, their arithmetic does not add up. And how have the president and congress chosen to respond to this great political awakening? How have they addressed the common sense dissection of their talking points? Certainly not by honest clarification, but instead attempting to marginalize dissenters as political operatives, ridicule them as extremist, or intimidate them with the power of government. This will backfire horribly because the truth is they are neither. Now of course there are some who will seek to jump on this bandwagon for political benefit, but for the most part these are just average folks, law biding citizens who seek nothing more than to provide for their families. They are reliable voters from different parties, who in the past have been somewhat detached from politics and many occasional spectators at best. Even more politicians are coming face to face with the realizations that there are still people who will not trade liberty for security. Madam Speaker there is nothing that is more American.
