This morning, while my bride was in the shower, I took the opportunity to channel surf. Hey, I’m a guy. That’s what we do. I landed on Morning Joe on MSNBC. Willie Geist and some unknown young lady were hosting. They were talking to New York times Columnist Clarence Page about Frank Rich’s latest column, “The Rage Is Not About Health Care”. Because my blood pressure pill and the Prevacid had not kicked in yet, I changed the channel quickly.

Later, curiosity got the better of me and I decided to read Rich’s column.

What a bunch of psuedo-intellectual elitist garbage. For example, he opines with slanted subjectivity that, “How curious that a mob fond of likening President Obama to Hitler knows so little about history that it doesn’t recognize its own small-scale mimicry of Kristallnacht. The weapon of choice for vigilante violence at Congressional offices has been a brick hurled through a window. So far.”

Frankie, if you would come down from your ivory tower in that bastion of Liberal ideology known as the rapidly-tanking “Gray Lady”, The New York Times, you would find that the majority of Americans are quite aware of the history of their country. They are aware that America was founded by a group of brave and hardy souls who left their native land seeking freedom from a oppressive tyrant who was levying back-breaking taxes while trying to force them to worship under a state-run religion. This leader falsely believed in his own intellectual superiority and divine right to leadership. Later on in our country’s history , we participated in a World War against the man you mentined earlier. He, too, falsely believed in his own intellectual superiority and divine right. He was even a altar boy when he was young. His fascist obsession for power and hatred of the Jews brought terror to a large portion of the world until he was stopped due to the bravery and self-sacrifice of heroic men and women, with Americans leading them on the path to victory.

Frankie goes on to write that, “If Obama’s first legislative priority had been immigration or financial reform or climate change, we would have seen the same trajectory. The conjunction of a black president and a female speaker of the House — topped off by a wise Latina on the Supreme Court and a powerful gay Congressional committee chairman — would sow fears of disenfranchisement among a dwindling and threatened minority in the country no matter what policies were in play. It’s not happenstance that Frank, Lewis and Cleaver — none of them major Democratic players in the health care push — received a major share of last weekend’s abuse. When you hear demonstrators chant the slogan “Take our country back!,” these are the people they want to take the country back from.”

Frankie, you’re almost right. These are some of the people that the majority of Americans want to take their country back from. However, to paraphrase a man that was slain in my home town: It’s not about the color of their skin. It’s about the content of their character.

Americans view the Administration, Congress and the Liberal Leadership as tone-deaf, self-centered elitists, obsessed with the accumulation of power, whose actions reflect an ideology based on relative ethics and morality. They watch as The President of the United States alineates our allies and embraces our enemies. The lokk on with incredulity as their leaders ignore their wishes and pass the largest entitlement program American has ever known. They see themselves, their families, and friends out of work while a government that should be focusing on growing the ecomony is instead bent on taking it over and changing it our economic system from capitalism to socialism.

Americans are watching their freedoms being taken away under the guise of a tone-deaf fascist ideology camoflagued as compassion. Americans today essentially want the same thing that our Founding Fathers wanted. Americans want to be a free people living in a free republic.

That’s what it’s all about, Frankie. It’s not about ignorance and racism. It’s about an awakening Patriotism.
