George Rebane

Gary Hubbell of the Aspen Times Weekly writes a hopeful piece about the Obama administration.  Passage of Obamacare has left me in a dour mood with the Rebane flag at half staff.  But ‘this too shall pass’ and we need something to look forward to.  Hubbell’s essay seeks the brighter side of this benighted presidency.

Average Americans who have quietly gone about their lives, earning a paycheck, contributing to their favorite charities, going to high school football games on Friday night, spending their weekends at the beach or on hunting trips they've gotten off the fence. They've woken up.
 
There is a level of political activism in this country that we haven't seen since the American Revolution, and Barack Obama has been the catalyst that has sparked a restructuring of the American political and social consciousness.
 
 Think of the crap we've slowly learned to tolerate over the past 50 years as liberalism sought to re-structure the America that was the symbol of freedom and liberty to all the people of the world.

If you’re a downtrodden conservative with nary a political party to turn to (yet), reading this piece will help get your chin off the floor.  Give it a look.

H/T to a regular RR reader who feels my pain.
