Political activism in America is experiencing a rebirth “before our very eyes and ears,” to steal one of Rush Limbaugh’s oft-used phrases. I was reminded of this last night as I watched Glenn Beck’s program and heard Limbaugh respond (as Beck’s guest) to Beck’s concern that the Obama administration is building an army of activists which may be preparing to seize control of the U.S. government at an opportune moment. After responding that he didn’t believe such a move would succeed given the wealth of information flowing forth from conservative talk radio and television, Rush made what I consider a critically important observation:
Look at the healthcare situation — what’s happening right now. The genuine passion — the REAL passion is in individual Americans’ hearts and minds. INDIVIDUALS are showing up. They may be going to the web to find out where these town halls are, but they’re showing up because individually they don’t want any part of this. The Obama army has to be bought and paid for. The Obama army has to be given marching orders. The Obama army is not showing up with any passion FOR Obama’s issue, which is healthcare. They’re showing up because they’ve been instructed to by bosses….and I’m gonna tell you something Glenn, passion, love of country, truth is going to out-maneuver and overpower fake passion…
