"The Next Big Game!"

A couple of years ago the New England Patriots met the New York Giants in the Super Bowl . This game was to be of great historical significance as the Pat's had won every game during the regular season , and no other team since the 1972 Miami Dolphins had a perfect season including the league championship. New England had practically walked through most of their opponents , and had even had a victory over the Giants a few weeks earlier in the season. The media gave little hope for the Giant's chances of victory over such an imposing foe. Tom Brady , the Pat's quarterback , was the picture of confidence practically guaranteed victory to his army of fans. Only stalwart Giant fans believed that their team had any chance against the juggernaut from New England. Victory was all but a forgone conclusion , until the day of the game. The Giants were inspired in all phases of the game , New England was caught completely by surprise . After the game the Patriots behaved like spoiled children , pouting and complaining as if they were entitled to the win just by the virtue of showing up on the field.Eleven months ago Barack Obama was sworn in as our Chief Executive and he was to have the most partisan congress I can remember any president having to support his agenda.This stacked deck looked so solid that any thought of opposition seemed futile at best and impossible at worst. Between Obama , Pelosi, and Reid it looked as if the Obama agenda would sail through the house and the senate as the country would suffer under a rubber stamp administration. Something amazing happened over the course of the few months following the inauguration , the people of the United States began to voice their concerns over the direction in which the nation was turning. Tea parties , and town hall meetings revealed real differences between the administration and the American people. The White House and Congressional leaders choose to ignore those citizens whose opinions did not agree with their agenda , even challenging their patriotism and intelligence.Yesterday in several eastern states election were held , and to the surprise of the current administration most of their liberal based candidates were soundly defeated , some in states that were staunch liberal strongholds. Like the New England Patriots , the liberal administration believed they were invincible , victory was a forgone conclusion , they dismissed their opponents as weak and dis-organized. Their opponent wasn't really the opposing party , it was in actuality the concerned citizens they so casually dismissed earlier in the year as un-American and un-intelligent. Perhaps now those in Washington who are looking at next years congressional elections will take some time before they jump head-long into more debt and high cost social programs that the tax paying public doesn't want. Overconfidence is the father of defeat , Mr. Obama is extremely overconfident and arrogant in his dismissal of those who have genuine concern over his game plan of high taxes and huge debt. Our "Super Bowl" is coming next November let's show them what a determined electorate can do , this is our country!
