On the long drive home Tuesday night, over a 10,000 foot pass, and through the crisp autumn air with the windows rolled down, I thought of the bridge we Patriots are building from the past, through now, and to the future.
Each investigative article, each network exposed, each politician disrobed, each strategy identified, is a crossing: a barrier understood and overcome, the elements of strategy appearing. We have used the timbers of our research, investigative skills, and our networking ability, to lay the foundation for the crossing. In the process we have grown as individuals, as a community of Patriots, and as Americans.

The 912 march
Even in a crowd of nearly 2 million people in the 912 march, everyone looked familiar to me, like I’d seen them before. I understand now that this familiarity is the energy of patriotism carried over centuries, having laid dormant in our hearts until our country called–now as it did then.
This march was also a crossing of another kind, a bridge across the country, the gigantic ‘thud’ of the Patriots’ cannonball stinging message, landing on the Capitol and White House grounds, still sizzling. You know that sound resonates right now in those hallways. 😛
There are indeed ‘many rivers to cross’ in our journey. But we are not alone, we have diamonds on the soles of our shoes, and the fire of patriotism and love of country burning in our hearts. That is something the opposition does not have.

I love how you’ve described our movement as a bridge.
In order to keep the bridge being built, however, we need our networking ability.
The WH knows that too and they are out to destroy it.

I have feared that this would happen.
How, oh how can we fight this?
I feel so overwhelmed at times.
Delle, remember it is their job to overwhelm you, that is what they are counting on.
Again, I return to the constitution. The feds cannot use the ‘interstate commerce’ clause (talk radio, internet)to attack the First Amendment and our right to assemble freely. And the czar appointments are not within Obama’s Article II appointment authority.
We can and will win this fight for our country. We left an impact in DC, all of us. That cannonball is sizzling and they know it. They also know they can’t goad us into the same kind of tactics used at the G20 protests.
Keep the fire burning, and polish up those diamonds on the soles of your shoes! 🙂
I also loved the image your words put in my mind. Thank you for what you do. Alone we are little and not worthy of their attention. Together we scare the crap out of them and so we must be muzzled, bamboozled, misinformed, and diseducated. Diseducation to me is something being done on a massive scale by the liars and distorters in media. Or maybe I am just paranoid and wearing the latest in tinfoil chapeaus.
I fear that TPTB will try to shut us down. Are all ready trying by labeling us as mobs and such. Try is the operative word.
I will try to keep the faith. And I will not sit down and I will not shut up. I never did before, why would I start now?
Kenoshamarge, thanks for your comments and sentiment. Remember that ghandi saying..”first they ignore you. Then they ridicule you. Then they fight you. Then you win”
Yes, they are in the fighting stage now, I think. And they will try. But we have that patriot energy thing going on, and we will win!
So beautiful and poetic Dr. Kate! We have built the bride and now we are in the process of crossing it. We all have days where we are discouraged, Delle, and it seems hopeless. But we do have our network of people to rely on and we are there to help and encourage those who need it. If they take the Internet away from us we will find some other way to carry on. Our founding fathers not only did not have our ways of communications, they had to travel by horseback to get messages through!
I was recently at Mount Vernon. I was in a museum about George Washington. They have a video telling of the expert spy system they had during the revolution. The British commander supposedly said of GW after the war was won “George Washington didn’t win the war because he was a great military commander, he won it because he was a great spy.” One famous female spy simply hung different collared petty coats on her clothes line according to what her message was. Many others carried messages in hidden pockets inside their dresses. I’m sure we could be just as innovative if we need to be.
WE WILL PREVAIL!
Wow, thanks for that information on the revolutionary war spies! The ‘founding mothers’ if you will! 🙂
Bring back the homing pigeons! Seriously, we WILL find other means.
That’s the spirit that makes liberty, under the law, alive. It’s important to support those on the side of truth and to avoid diminishing one another. Together we will unseat the usurper.
yes, ‘on the side of truth’ and ‘Americans’…this is not a struggle to see who comes in first. It is the battle of our lives for our Country!!!
An interesting article in USA Today, re: Obama’s CZARS. People are beginning to wake up to the fact that Obama is trying to run a “de facto” government through the use of his czars, and circumvent Congressional authority. Even Russ Freingold is now wondering about Obama’s use of so many czars, and their functions. Joe Lieberman will hold a hearing on Oct. 7 to discuss the matter. See link below.

Excellent! Now we can ‘out’ his efforts every step of the way, and we the people can surround those targeted…the more we know about obama the more we can track and discredit his every statement.
There may be a bill written soon that’s stops all pay for Czars. It’s illegal already.
The pieces of the puzzle are plain to see for ‘average Joe’ now.
Our loud-mouthed hard work IS paying off. 42 Czars now who have no vetting and no oversight being paid hundreds of thosuands to do their czar job? There is even a Czar that’s for ACORN-well indirectly through Bertie
Louthe leader of ACORN. This is her contact person..the Czar of Acorn.Yesterday’s yahoo news said obama is giving 35B to “mortgage and loan counseling companies” in USA. Like he thinks we won’t know exactly what companies they are
ACORN and it’s DBA’s…so from 8.5B originally to 35B.Can we have a new Resident and administration now?

I fear that he replacement will be a nightmare.
Great article Doc, as usual!
Beck mashed Valerie Jarett today like a bug…It made the shredding of Van Jones look like child’s play. 🙂

I so agree Troy!
She just probably couldn’t do what they wanted!
or I should say she WOULDN’T do what they wanted!
Way to Go Lil Darlin! Ty Dr.Kate for posting that video…It’s Awesome!!@!!
I saw the Beck show on Valerie Jarret and was amazed at the way he is putting this stuff together. Or someone is. Because he’s supposed to be some kind of an idiot, isn’t he?
Who ever is doing it seems to have had this in mind from the gitgo. it seems a natural progression of outing the people that are a part of this insidious process. First Van Jones, then ACORN and now Jarret who is “reportedly” Obama’s closest advisor.
If true, the ties he showed to Jarret and money to be made from an Olympics held in Chicogo is damning. If I was Beck I wouldn’t go alone into any dark parking garage.
I know, tinfoil hat time again.

This is now one of my favorite quotes!
Oh, and kenoshamarge- such detective work has been ongoing for quite some time now (h/t drkate, TexasDarlin, renee (!!), beckwith, atlas, breitbart, gatewaypundit and many other bloggers)
Glenn and his crack staff have put the information out there with wide exposure because he has the platform to do so. My acknowledging the fact that this has been ongoing since…well…before the election in no way diminishes my admiration for Glenn. He rocks!
