Iterating Glenn Beck's belief that America is experiencing a third Great Awakening, Glenn Reynolds writes over at the Washington Examiner about what's happening in this country. It's far bigger than what even the politicians are seeing.
Imagine watching this from the beginning, from the first spontaneous protests. From Rick Santelli's outburst to the SPONTANEOUS rallies that gathered across the country 2 April 15s ago.
It spread. And spread.
We started following issues closely.
We followed the money trail and discovered some things we didn't like.
And the anger grew.
And candidates. We picked OUR OWN candidates, not establishment candidates.
Billboards sprung up.
Articles appeared in newspapers, but not a great deal. We tend to talk among ourselves, rather than openly to the press and the like, but we talked to others of like mind, whether they actually marched in a rally or not. In fact, there are many more of us out here who have never marched.
Those people are listening. And yesterday they, too, awoke.
So you're watching this from DC, Nancy Pelosi perhaps.
At first, you don't take seriously what's happening because you assume your reign will last forever.
Then you accuse the ralliers as party activists, organized by political leaders. Mean while the true political leaders are trying to herd the roomful of cats they see and realize they aren't herdable, but they are listening.
So you start throwing the mud, hoping to hurt the nascent movement so that they realize they have no power, and you are stronger than they. You hold the keys to the treasury, after all.
But the mud isn't sticking.
Why? Because people don't trust YOU in DC.
And the movement is growing.
Are these the steps YOU in DC are walking through right now?
Just askin'.
We areTHE RESISTANCE.
