“We’re the revolution now”

Odd how the Left believed so strongly that the most patriotic thing a citizen could do was question the government, talk back to our elected representatives, throw shoes at the president…until *their* guy became “The Man”, now it is treasonous racism to not fawn in rapturous amazement at his every move.

Where did all their “question authority” and “truth to power” stuff go?

(video from the British comedy, Coupling. If you haven’t seen it, look it up, it was funny. Then NBC tried to copy/Americanize it, and failed miserably))

    Great clip and a great point! I’ve struggled to understand the new concepts of “punk rockers for the President” and hippies for big invasive government.

    “punk rockers for the President” (LOL) is bad enough – throw in the “everybody else must be in lockstep” and it boggles the mind.
