Something strange happening here

  We've discussed Glenn Reynolds theory of the preference cascade recently and its impact on the general public: emotions and public opinion inexplicably shift without any particular direction or leader.
  I might suggest something unusual and huge is happening in our country. Let me put it in perspective.
  Several liberal newspapers have endorsed Romney.
  Huge crowds have turned out for Romney.
  An affection is developing for the "robot" Romney who in the past has been tattooed for not being emotional enough or relatable to the average taxpayer. Indeed, Romney's demeanor has changed, growing more confident and emotional as the crowds swell. Romney himself seems overwhelmed by what is happening not only by public response but by the direction his life is taking.
  A Christian female friend said recently, "I'm just falling in love with that guy!" She was speaking politically, I might add.
  And there we come to another point at which my atheist friends may scoff.
  Several conservatives participating in the 40 days of prayer before the election have noted that there is a sense that God has His hand on events, a peace over the turmoil surrounding this administration. 
  There have been several personal incidents which I will not relate that have confirmed the belief that the prayers of Christians concerned about the direction of the country will be answered. That is not to say we know or can etermine what will happen but it is to say that He has not abandoned this country to forces who wish to exert power over it through onerous regulations, laws and the culture of death that surrounds the abortion purveyors.
  I've also observed something else. 
  It seems so often that the Leftist response to conservative ideals is profanity, violence and/or vandalism. We read all around the country about molotov cocktails in yards, signs being defaced or stolen, property damaged if you have a Romney sign in your yard.
  Conservatives by nature are conservative in their approach to politics and confrontation, yet I've recently read two Facebook stories of young people who were questioned--not really confronted--about their Obama bumper stickers, to which the young people responded with profanity and the like. The incidents took place in public parking areas.
  Now you could get depressed over the fact that someone who's projecting his or her political views on the world with their bumper stickers is so nasty when a stranger responds to their projections but I would suggest this isn't really the way to look at these two incidents.
  What's truly remarkable is that on two different occasions conservatives chose to engage in dialog, questioning the judgment of the Obama sticker bearers. 
  In both circumstances, the Obamabots became angry and responded exactly the way their model, President "Eye Candy" Barack Hussein Obama, responds when he's confronted with anyone who questions his sovereignty.
  How many times across the nation is this same scenario playing out, with conservatives willing to take the risk of engaging potentially nasty people who sometimes (not exaggerating here) become violent?
  I believe these incidents are exemplary of an enormous change, a preference cascade if you will, that is happening across the nation. Conservatives are finally empowered to be politically involved and interact to preserve the liberties of our nation's people, even those with whom we disagree and who would snatch our own rights from us.
  That Romney is even in the game and in the lead is pretty incredible, considering the  press has become worse than Pravda, Hollywood, movies, celebrities, magazines, newspapers and academia are all pushing the Obama ticket hard, regardless the truth or reality.
  One might also note that there is an intense passion among many people about what actually happened in Libya, the lack of action and the secrecy surrounding that night.
  The video Hoosierman posted of last night's Pat Caddell interview is exemplary of the emotion and anger many people, including Democrat pollsters like Caddell and Dem operatives like Kirsten Powers, feel about the negligence, lack of transparency and inhumane behavior exhibited in this incident.
  Yeah, there's something strange and huge happening here. People who've paid their taxes, kept their mouths shut and worked hard all their lives are rebelling against the ruling class that has decided they rule this country.
  This isn't about race.
  It's about the power each one of us as citizens has to control as much of our destiny as we can.
  I keep thinking about one woman who voted for Obama last time said over at Breitbart:

"I was fooled, I kick myself everyday," she said. "I said: 'In four years I'll get you buddy -- and I'm going to.'"

  And I second this notion:

  How this will end we do not know.

  But I do know the fight won't be lost from somnolence on our part.

  We beat them back, one by one.
