Hi,
I believe the transformation of America is well underway, only not like a lot of folks expect.
The clash started out between the working class and the welfare class with government acting as the intermediary using our tax dollars to buy votes from the latter group. Glenn Beck was right yesterday when he said that American people just do not like to get pushed around by the government. There comes a point....
When we see the stimulus bill passed despite 90% of the public being opposed to it, the health care bill passed despite wide protests, the tea party movement being ingored and ridiculed, communists put in positions of authority, now we see a recess appointment of a person who had been voted down by the senate, indeed a transformation is taking place. The clash is now the people versus the federal government. Either the power rests with the people or the government will seize it without our consent.
The transformation is this. People are gritting their teeth, tired of unemployment, tired of a government that continually lies to us, tired of a government that votes themselves cushy pension and health care plans at the expense of the American people. In common, everyday language, folks I think the shit is about to hit the fan in Washington and they are not going to know what hit them. The mainstream media will try to maintain the status quo but will have about as much influence as a fart in a tornado.
Keep your powder dry folks, we have less than 8 months to go and the message will be sent loud and clear.
It would not surprise me one bit if in the next few years we do not see a constitutional amendment for congressional term limits, congress stripped of their pension and medical benefits and put on the same plans as the general public and a whole lot more.
I do not know how anyone else feels about this but it feels different, it's coming and it aint what BO thinks it is going to be.

This is all fine and well but there are more underlying issues Glenn and the rest has failed to fully address.
1: Unfortunately, a large number of Americans are now voting with their pocketbook. More people seem to be voting for what they get rather than what will keep the foundation of the real American dream and American lifestyle protected; That of hard work to make your life the way you want and a stringent set of moral values that benefit society as a whole WITHOUT the government regulating and dictating how we go about this.
2: There is an enormous chasm between even those in the upper middle class and above and the mid-to lower middle class and all else below them. They watch TV and see the high-rise penthouse suites, the cars, boats, motor homes, and glitz. For some reason the media and the democrat party have convinced them that they DESERVE all the material possessions they can imagine in their wildest dreams and if they cannot afford them, then they are a victim and the ONLY way to relieve their victim hood is to vote for socialists and commies (democrats).
3: Race. The democrats are the #1 purveyors of racism - they were the main members of the slavery movement in the south prior to and during the civil war. As a major coo, they were able to turn these facts around and by dumbing-down Negros then brainwashing them with 50+ years pf propaganda, made Negros believe that that Conservatives and Republicans were against them. This has given the democrat party a large voting block that never waivers no matter how many black males between the ages of 15 and 25 will be either in prison at some time or murdered by members of their own race. 75% to be exact.
Look at what happened to Bill Cosby when he came out against the race baiting and the anti-education culture of modern day black leaders in the media and Congress.
4: Short attention span, short memory, and fascination of little shiny objects. Americans forget all too easily what their representatives did just six months ago. If they did not, I am quite sure Congressional term limits would have happened many years ago. With our current culture, we Americans live by five second visual bites and 15 second sound bites. With the left dominating the media, those visual and sound bites and greatly change a person's perceptions as to what is really happening around them.
How do we get more Americans to dig deeper into their politics, pay closer attention, and get more involved? This is a MAIN issue and regardless of what Glenn Beck does, if he cannot break that barrier, his efforts will be for naught. I do see some changes coming but I have to admit, even if Congress gets flushed in November, there are substantial leftist forces out there that will openly become meaner, more vocal, more adamant with their execution of their politics.
So Glenn Beck puts together a cutesy little three-ring binder, how do we get that into the hands of 250 million Americans and articulate to them exactly what is involved here?
As an aside though, there is a little promise for November 2010:
Massive 'maelstrom' to blast incumbents
2010 'will make 1994 election look like light summer breeze'
