It’s gratifying to see tens of thousands of Americans in the streets calling for the impeachment of Barack Obama. What’s mystifying is why more aren’t out there with them. Do Americans really understand there’s no going back from the place Obama is determined to take us before his second term is through? He’s getting his wish: He’s “fundamentally transforming America,” just as he promised he would during his 2008 campaign. I don’t think most people really took him at his word – or considered whether they really wanted to see America remade in the image of Obama. But with Republican opposition to Obama’s policies – including the implementation of the dreaded Obamacare – more show than substance, I don’t understand why there aren’t more expressions of the kind of grass-roots dissent we saw in 2010. Did the Internal Revenue Service’s political harassment of tea-party groups spook them? Have the tea-party organizations become mere fundraising gimmicks? Have the activists given up on their country? Unless there is another loud and visible uprising, America is finished. Though Republicans control the House, the leadership has made it abundantly clear it will not use the power the tea-party activists handed them in 2010. Instead, they will be play-it-safe politicians while America goes down the socialist drain. So what’s the answer? Hundreds of thousands of Americans in the streets of Washington this fall. Right now those business-as-usual Republican House members schmoozing with their constituents in town halls back home during the congressional recess need to be reminded of why they were sent to Washington – and why continuing to fund Obamacare is not one of the reasons.
