Stay the Course, America

When Washington crossed the Delaware in the dark of night on December 25, 1776,  conditions were bleak.  His men were tired, hungry,and  frostbitten, but they still had a long jouney ahead of them. They did not abandon their mission or their commander midstream.  They forged ahead to the other side and on to make American history.
Our commander in chief took the oath of office in January, 2009.  Less than a month later, in February, 2009, the Tea Party Patriots movement was launched by Mark Meckler, an attorney with ties to the Conservative lobbying firm Russo, Marsh, and Rodgers out of Sacramento.  One month. The row boat had hardly pushed away from the dock.
Recently, the New Yorker printed a ten page expose of the major Madhatters behind the tea party movement, Charles and David Koch of Koch Industries,  the second largest corporation in the United Sates with 100 billiion  in revenues annually. The article was entitled, "Covert operations: the billionaire brothers who are waging a war against Obama, "  March 30, 2010.  
Corporations like Koch Industries,  Wall Street and big banks, and the insurance and pharmaceutical  industries have much to fear from Obama.   Reform.   They would like mainstream Americans to think that rescinding the tax credit for the rich would hurt our economy.  Actually 99% of all employers are small business based.  What the big corporations are protecting is not American jobs, but their personal pocketbook.
The tea party movement is  busy fanning the flames of the teapot with the Articles of the Constitution so that the identity of the real brewing brothers are concealed in a cloud of steam. They misuse the hearts of patriots and the souls of Christians to further their own  agenda through Conservative politics. To this end, the paying powers behind the show call in the soothsayers, the clowns, and the all popular female gladiator to ply us with platitudes and  distract from  facts.  Could they have possibly seduced a governor who abandoned her elected position midstream to work for the tea party?
FACTS
TAX:  The median income family federal income tax will be the lowest this year than any year since 1955.
STIMULUS:  Most countries are using their economic stimulus plans to develop a greener economy
JOBS:  This administration has enacted small business health tax credits, and with the cooperation of the GOP, will provide tax breaks and loans from community banks for up to $30 billion to grow small businesses and jobs.
 Many have swallowed the  tea party brew, devious "grassroots" plot and all,   Will this country not read the tea leaves before  it is too late?
Like the patriots before us who crossed the perilous Delaware, it is easy to become discouraged when the journey is long and requires much courage. Yet, I believe  we will see the  recovery through with our elected.commander in chief.  We will stay the course!
