In Virginia and New Jersey, the counter-revolution against Obamaism was born.

Average Americans, fed-up with Democratic taxing, spending and corruption, began taking back their country from its Washington, D.C., invaders Tuesday.  They sent a clear message: fix the economy instead of expanding big government, and tighten Uncle Sam’s belt instead of billing our children and grandchildren for today’s liberal grandee excesses.

The only throwback to old-style tax-and-spend was in an upstate New York congressional district, which got snarled in a decision by GOP insiders to pick a “safe” Democrat look-alike as their candidate to fill a vacancy.  In the age of Obama, they worried, due homage must be paid to media intransigence, political correctness, and similar trivial pieties.

But We the People would have none of that.  In both northern and southern states they elected conservative governors dedicated to growing jobs and the economy rather than subservience to liberal ideology.  And today across the country, faint sounds of the “Battle Hymn of the Republic” stir.  In millions of patriot hearts, chilled by the specter of  Obama-led catastrophe, there’s new hope.  And not the government-love kind.    

The icy political geniuses who apply the revolution from the White House throne room, while our nascent ruler fronts with words of peace and benevolence, must be shaking in their jack-boots.  How could the Messiah be rejected?

For one thing, people know socialism when they see it.  Free money, free housing, free cars, and free health care can’t flow miraculously from Obama’s stash.  There’s a catch -- he’s dictating what kinds of loans we can’t get, how much business execs can’t be paid, and how tax-aided firms can’t operate.  And now they’re about to enact 2,000 pages of blather directing what kind of health care we can’t have, and who must be taxed for it.

Actually, there’s no such thing as socialism.  The concept was developed years ago by would-be tyrants as a means of winning public approval. “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs” may appeal to freeloaders, but not those who produce.  In practice, as the industrious balk, “socialism” invariably becomes simple dictatorship -- as Europeans found out when their “Light” brand led to non-elected Eurocrat oppression.  

Yet, the lessons of history are lost on our new D-Generation that largely twitters and twatters in self-absorption.  Part of a “morally superior elite” Democratic clique whose college years are/were spent on sex and drugs, they get their political views from TV comics who turn out to be sex  predators and partisan fakers.  Such “useful idiots” are easily led by the exploitive billionaires who run their party from behind-the-scenes.

If Democrats and their dumb, plodding government could create a Utopian society, they would have done so long ago.  In reality the party’s just a haven for immature minds who lust to tell others how to live their lives, usually for financial gain.  The Founders had it right  -- government is the natural-born enemy of freedom and human progress.  Maybe that painful lesson is being re-learned by a citizenry turning against the insanity on display in our nation’s capital.
