It's too early to tell, but it just might be that with all of the tea parties taking place all across America, and the Democrat, liberal, and primitive reaction to them, something new is evolving in the public.
An iron-clad, rock-solid, no-exceptions rule of physics is being applied.
For every action there is an equally strong reaction.
I am honestly surprised that this rule is so often disregarded or dismissed by those who think themselves intellectually "superior" to decent and civilized people.
It's a scientific law, after all.
For every action there is an equally strong reaction, and there's not a damned thing one can do about it.
This time and place is always fated to competition, conflict, and strife; "unity" and "peace" come only with the grave, never before.
I am reminded of the administration of James Carter (1977-1981), one of the two most incompetent presidents in American history, along with that other Great Humanitarian Herbert Hoover (1929-1933).
That was when this bogeyman of the left, the evolution of the so-called "religious right," occurred, with all of its accompanying successes (although not nearly enough; Ronald Reagan and the first George Bush were constantly obstructed by negative nay-sayers such as the bloated corrupt Tipsy O'Neill and Vast Teddy, and so was not able to do as much good as America needed done).
I am struck by the apparent fact that the "religious right" never existed before 1977; as a fancier of ancient newsmagazines, I've always looked for references to this "religious right," and the term seems to have never existed before the administration of the second Great Humanitarian.
Not under Ford, not under Nixon, not under Johnson.
Such a phenomenon doesn't appear to have existed before Carter.
So I've always been curious about how this came to be.
It appears that when the Incompetent One took office in early 1977, the interests and concerns of a substantial number of people were ignored, in this case apparently southerners of the various Protestant denominations, tens of millions of them.
They were constantly told by the elites in Washington that they and their feelings didn't count; that they were irrelevant; that people intellectually "superior" to them knew what was best for them.
The best way to make an enemy of a man is by telling him he doesn't count.
I need to repeat that.
The best way to make an enemy of a man is by telling him he doesn't count.
And so Jimmy Carter, and not a bunch of southern preachers as is constantly alleged, was the father of the "religious right;" he had only himself to blame for all of his well-deserved misery and wretchedness.
Physics. It's a wonderful topic. I think more people should be into physics.
