There when her people needed her.

Here when America needs her.

Last night, we were all at Roscoe’s here in Boystown, having our first pitcher of Green Miller Lite for St. Patrick’s Day, where Panda was telling us about a crazy person who think she’s James Brown’s illegitimate daughter, and is convinced his body’s been stolen from his crypt and is “being hidden somewhere” just so no one can ever prove the things she’s saying are true.  Sheer and utter madness.

On the part of Panda — who not only believes the woman, but goes a step further and says, “I don’t think he’s even really dead.  I think he just wanted to retire, but people wouldn’t leave him alone, so he faked his death and is living the good life somewhere in secret, like in Death Becomes Her”.  That’s a movie in which Panda also believes Marilyn, Greta Garbo, James Dean, Jim Morrison, and Elvis “played themselves”, secretly, as an in-joke in party scenes where long-dead celebrities are shown to have drunk magic potions to keep them alive forever.  Panda, inexplicably Chicagoland’s number one Michael Jackson fan, is more convinced than ever by the James Brown crypt eviction nonsense that “MJ” is still alive, well, and moonwalking somewhere.  ”He just didn’t want to be bothered anymore, and is doing fine in Switzerland or Dubai, and in like 30 years someone will tell when he’s really dead and the secret is safe”.

We swear, we only had the one pitcher of Green Beer.  And we shared it four ways.  So, where Panda gets this stuff is just beyond us.

But it makes us think about what Democrats are doing these days — actually working to usurp the Constitution and trying to cram their Healthcare Rationing bill through Congress without the House voting on it.

The way the Constitution reads, for a bill to become law the Senate and the House must both pass the exact same bill.  Then, once it’s passed in both Chambers, it goes to the White House to be signed or vetoed.

Democrats wrongly, and unconstitutionally, believe they can take the bill the Senate passed on Christmas Eve, in secret, in the dead of night, and claim “it’s as good as passed” in the House, without the House actually passing it.  Then, they want to just shunt that Senate bill to the White House for passage.

We don’t see how it’s possible for them to succeed in this, but let’s operate for a second under the assumption they can get away with that.  Let’s just say they do it.  The White House signs it.  It becomes law.

In the vernacular of people like us, children of the 80s, it’s the equivalent of moving the Death Star within firing range of Alderaan and letting slip a giant, lethal blast of planet-killing destructive energy.

Only, in our example, it’s not a planet they’ll destroy (so, calm down Al Gore, no chance here of setting up a new apocalyptic cult for yourself), or a nation, or the Constitution.

No, if these lunatics do this, they will destroy the Democrat Party.  Utterly and completely.  There won’t even be asteroids the size of cookie crumbs left when the dust settles on this.

If you know Star Wars, you’ll realize the moment the Empire destroyed Alderaan, using its most destructive and in-you-face weapon for the first time, was when it really lost the Galactic Civil War.  By doing something so horrible, so unimaginable, so abusive of power, it steeled Princess Leia Organa into the no-holds-barred freedom fighter she became in the opening scenes of Empire Strikes Back, leading rebel efforts on the icy moon of Hoth, ditching her flowing, halycon white princess robes for the no-nonsense gear of a woman determined to bring the Empire down at all costs and restore democracy to the Republic.

THAT is what’s going to happen to people all across this country if Democrats aim and point a weapon of mass destruction at the Constitution.  The energy unleashed will not come from the party, but from the PEOPLE, who will direct a massive blast of American common sense and patriotism at the DNC, and we believe nothing at all will remain standing.

We do not believe there will still exists a Democrat party after 2012 if the three socialist fools standing on the bridge of the White House’s insane version of the Death Star do what they have sworn they will do.  Obama.  Pelosi.  Reid.  The three people who will fully reveal the Democrat Part to be the anti-American destructive force it has become.

We don’t believe they’ll succeed in firing that Death Star, but if they do, they will the ones who will ultimately be destroyed, because in doing something so heinous and unimaginable, they will wake a sleeping giant.

Guys like us will commit full time to doing everything we can to bringing every Democrat out there, at all levels down.

Housewives will stop shuttling the kids to all manner of nonsense like karate classes, and finally realize there’s more important things to do than race around in minivans all day.  They will stay home and create Coffee Clubs in their kitchens, where they will gather together neighbors and plot strategy for taking back the country.

Union guys, who always have done what their Union masters have told them, will finally think for themselves, get off the comfy leather Union-enabled Barcoloungers, and will decide, “That’s it.  I’ve had enough of this socialist crap.  Time to kick butt and save America”.

All across the country this will happen.

A Resistance will form.

In Cleveland. And Mineral City. And Chicago. And Pittsburgh. And San Antonia.  And Rochester. And New York.

All of our home towns.

All of yours.

And somewhere, in the West, like Leia of Alderaan, we believe a strong woman will emerge to lead the Resistance and take back our government starting in 2010, and culminating in 2012 when she heads to the White House herself to clean up the biggest mess left of our government since the Civil War.

In Wasilla, Alaska, you’ll find her.

The Force is strong in her.

May the love of country be as strong in all of us — because at this moment in history we need it.  And America needs us all to remain vigilant and strong in the face of unimaginable Democrat-wielded horrors.
