Full of Sound and Fury and Signifying Nothing?

Earlier today I received an email from a friend. She listed numerous transgressions of the Obama administration and in her email to me, asked if I believed that working through the Tea Party structure would make a difference. Here's a copy of my reply to her sincere inquiry.......

XXXX, thanks for your note. I understand what's frustrating to you and to me and many others when we see the rules bent and broken to accomplish Obama's goals. The recess appointments are only one example and yes I think that sometimes the odds are stacked against the Conservative nature in many of our citizens. As people who have seen men like Jimmy Carter come and go we can testify that they will, in fact, go in the future, probably not as soon as we would hope but I have faith that Obama will, and will be judged Number One in the list of worst presidents!

Now, I really believe what I wrote to ZZZZ regarding the leadership of the North Texas Tea Party. Frankly I was afraid when the tea party movement started that it would be like a Roman candle, explode and then poop out. The thoughts that I saw that had already gone into sustaining the movement impressed me with its plan to "vet" the candidates, support those that fit the conservative agenda (regardless of party affiliation), and monitor them when they reached their office appealed to my sense of order. We heard the word "patience" thrown around a lot but I believe that this is what it is going to take. We can call Obama a socialist, a communist, a muslim or a lot of worse names but personally I only get a momentary feeling of relief. There are those whose idea is armed resistance, at least in talk, but again, long term, if it came to that, our country is going to become balkanized and we'll have to take United out of our country's name. We've gotten a taste of the violent reaction to the health care vote and none of us liked it. We are not a banana republic!

What we already see in the Obama administration is disorder and ineffectiveness appearing, the MSM criticizing him, finally, and his "true believers" abandoning him. I believe that with a nudge from the tea party's candidates the Republicans will begin to assert themselves and some of the terrible decisions made by Obama can begin to be rectified. I believe that this is still the American way and I want to be a part of that revolution. The North Texas chapter is meeting monthly and they are looking for help. I'll give you and xxxx a call and invite you to see what is happening there. Regards to you and xxxx, Bill

There are those who have been in political fights before and as far as I can tell there's little glory associated with most of the jobs but I'm going to give this a shot because I believe it's worth it. I'll let you know what I see.
