The Party of "We Will Not Let You Molest This Land"

If there are more Republicans than Democrats in the House beginning in January 2013... if a member of the GOP resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue... if that same party controls the Senate, will Nancy Pelosi vote with her adversaries in the Grand Old Party because the American people will have clearly spoken, or will she vote "no" on everything they propose? Will Harry Reid tell his constituents, "In accordance with the desire of my fellow citizens, I will vote for massive tax cuts for the likes of Rush Limbaugh."?

If Mr. Reid and Ms. Pelosi vote against Republican proposals, will the media claim they lead the "Party of No" or will a euphemism be created to make uncooperative Democrats appear noble in the fight against oppressive authority? "The Party of Helping the Downtrodden Survive a Hitler-esque regime" and, "The Party of We Will Not Let You Molest This Land," both come to mind.

Throughout the first two years of the Obama Presidency we constantly heard liberals say, "How can they expect America to prosper if Republicans vote no on every single poor person-helping, job-creating, earth-saving bill we propose?"

Translated, that of course means, "I'm exploiting the Republicans bad habit of voting in accordance with values they hold dear for the express purpose of making Joe Six-pack think they're Gordon Gekko types who have contempt for any American earning an income of less than seven figures."

If the media is non-partisan they will admonish any Democrat who doesn't vote with the Republican majority just as they've been scolding the GOP.

If former Speaker Pelosi is a fair-minded lady, she will put her own view of right and wrong aside and vote with her political adversaries without fail. After all, she slammed Republicans for their failure to accept her agenda as their own.

However, I have a strong feeling that, if the GOP controls Washington beginning in January of 2013, every criticism of Republicans from January 2009 to January 2011 will not apply to the Democrat minority.

It will be interesting to see everything change 180 degrees.

Voting against the majority will go from treasonous to noble.

Criticism of the 2013 Republican president will come from courageous individuals, whereas questioning the constitutionality of the unconstitutional ObamaCare bill is clearly racist.

I bet all of you can, within one second, tell me which president occupied the White House when Hillary Clinton said, "I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration, somehow you're not patriotic, and we should stand up and say, 'We are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration!'"

The more things change the more things change...
