Among the major factors inspiring the conservative grassroots across America to take action is the seeming inability of those in office to stand fast against the liberal onslaught. And while this has always been a problem for career politicians, no matter how sincerely and idealistically they began their terms of office, the situation has clearly gotten worse in recent years. With the recent raising of the debt ceiling, Barack Obama was granted a veritable green light to shamelessly continue his outlandish spending binge. Worse yet, those relative few in the Congress who sought to hold the line on spending have since been essentially criminalized, and are regularly denigrated in the harshest of terms.

Perhaps the most profound quality common to liberals is their ability to keep straight faces (or even look gravely serious) while spewing the most hysterical and laughable lies. In this manner we have heard them in recent years frantically pontificating about how “global warming” would surely end life on this planet as we know it, unless of course they were allowed to grow government, encroach on our time honored freedoms, and raise our taxes.

By now everybody who regularly receives e-mail “forwards” has seen the one showing Barack Obama ostensibly standing in front of a devastated landscape that clearly is meant to represent the United States under his stewardship. The caption reads, “My work here is done.” Accusations of partisanship and racism aside, the message conveyed is so profound because it succinctly reflects the determined efforts of the Obama White House to radically change America over the past two and a half years.

After nine days of “voting present” on the chaos in Libya, Barack Obama has now decided to vocally condemn the brutish tactics of Colonel Moammar Kadafi, its dictatorial ruler for the past four decades. The proper interpretation of Obama's sudden change of heart is that he now believes that Kadafi's ouster is imminent, and wants to be in league with those who have risen up against him.

Perhaps the best manner in which to properly assess the true nature of liberalism is to revisit the issues and commentaries of a few weeks past, and compare them to the events of the current day. As any given situation unfolds, the left can be expected to pounce on the moral “high ground,” and laud its own virtues at the expense of the conservative opposition. However, since liberal pontificating is rarely based in fact, the game changes regularly, in order to continue the facade irrespective of the annoyances of reality.

As Egypt continues in turmoil, western liberals remain committed to wallowing in their blind myopia, oblivious to the warnings that cry out to them from the pages of history. Incredibly, they believe that by some strange means, the aftermath of an Egyptian coup in which President Hosni Mubarak is removed from office will spontaneously generate “democracy,” and an outbreak of peace and freedom. The Iranian revolution of 1979, and all of the bloodshed and mayhem it spawned throughout the Middle East in the decades since, was perhaps the most extreme example, but it certainly was neither the first nor only such event.

2010 will likely be remembered in the coming decades as the year when Americans turned back from the brink and reasserted their devotion to the traditional values and principles that have produced the most powerful, most prosperous, and until recently, the freest nation on earth. The elections of last November were a thunderous refutation of the arrogant elitists in Washington and an irrefutable declaration from the people of the heartland that they are not ready to relinquish their national inheritance to the counterculture and the political left.

January 28, 2011 marks the quarter-century commemoration of the 1986 loss of the Space Shuttle Challenger, which at the time was the greatest space disaster ever to befall this nation. Those who lived through the event well remember the universal shock that ensued, shattering the national psyche in a manner rivaling Pearl Harbor and the September 11 attacks.

Within hours after last weekend's horrendous shooting rampage that left six dead and more than a dozen wounded including Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, a truly ugly picture of a segment of America has emerged. It does not reflect the isolated actions of a lone, crazed gunman in Arizona, but the monolithic behavior of a reprehensible liberal political machine and its lapdogs in the major media. Sadly, homicidal maniacs have plagued the human race since Cain. Such shameless propagandizing, in contrast, is a relatively new phenomenon.

Sanctimony from Democrat Senator Charles Schumer of New York never plays well with the public despite media efforts to cast it in a good light, and his latest blunder is true to form. In an effort to go on offense in the ongoing Obamacare debate, Schumer came up with what he undoubtedly considers a brilliant strategy, blissfully unaware of how completely it highlights his elitism and hypocrisy.
