I sure hope you’re right, but I am not so optimistic.
Nixon actually identified the incipient “Tea Party” decades ago. He called them the “silent majority”, the ones who played by the rules, worked hard, payed their taxes, and ignored politics. Back then, there was nothing else but the old media, who were already left-leaning, but the government was not nearly as oppressive and monstrous as it is now. It finally took the Republicans to turn into Democrat-lite under Bush the RINO and the far left to take control of the Democrats under Obama/Pelosi/Reid/Soros to bring the movement to a head.
Fox, the internet and talk radio are only about 15 years old, and the right finally gets access to the other side of stories, and stories that the old media simply didn’t report on. They are also the way that we can now organize, especially the internet (algore be praised), something we never had before. If government controls the net, something that they’ve made noises about in the last two years, we may still get some information from Fox and talk radio, at least for a while, but how will we organize and communicate with each other without the internet? Cell-phones? Telegraph? Short-wave radio?
