I dont know why we should be surprised. I called this one just
between me and myself. Dont recall if I said anything to Dee or
not, but Wednesdays disgusting usurpation of what had been billed
as a memorial service for the victims of Jared Loughners madness
was just about what I thought it would turn out to be. I felt
certain of it when I heard that the big Kahuna announced he was on
his way out to the sagebrush from Washington.a

Obamas rockopera mostly opera performances, and looked a lot like a
rehearsal for the campaign trail. Theyve pulled this same stunt so
many times now that no one even pays attention, as is evidenced by
the silence other than condemnation from the rest of the
country.They had Tshirts draped over each chair in the audience
area well before the event even started. It was held at the
University of Arizona at Tucson, also evocative of the 2008
campaign, where hordes of enthusiastic but otherwise politically
naive college kids could be recruited, especially when lubricated
by free rock concerts and beer.It was a winning formula for the
Marxists in the past. They turned the late Senator Wellstones
memorial into political theater, about as cheap and tawdry as it
can get. Gratefully, Arizonas service didnt quite plum the depths
that Wellstones service did.What it emwasem, was a flarelit example
to the country that the leftists were more than willing to pile all
this on the backs of the bereaved families and the others that were
wounded. Theyre not even being given the courtesy of mourning for
their loved ones in private.Will there be a backlash Yes, but it
will join the other backlashes, building like another groundswell
across the nation as the Conservative Congress goes to work and the
sides square off for 2012.I say, bring it on!Semper Vigilans,
