A 'prairie fire' sweeping the nation

I was inspired by a comment I heard on the tube in reference to the Missouri rejection of the ObamaCare mandates, where some politician referred to that overwhelming rejection of the over-reaching powers of a magisterial federal government as a prairie fire. That man may very well have inadvertently given the definitive name to the so-far spotty, spontaneous and disorganized movement of rejection of the Obama Administration, the Pelosi/Reid Congress and their raid on the Constitution of the United States of America.

Respectfully borrowing from the lyrics of two of America's musical icons, Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers, I do indeed believe that, "Something's Burning." There are small prairie fires springing up all over this country from coast to coast, Missouri being one of the two largest so far. It is entirely appropriate that the first statewide challenge to Obama's federal mandates should come from, where else, but the Show Me state.

But those prairie fires are growing larger as America rejects federal policies that defy common sense, such as the Justice Department challenging Arizona's desperation legislation to deal with the influx of illegal criminals across their border with Mexico. Arizona is another one of those prairie fires that is growing into a horizon-sweeping inferno for the inept Obama administration and the suck-up Democrat Congress.

A militant mullah and his Muslim faithful want to build a Saudi-financed, trophy mosque on the sacred soil where their jihad brothers slaughtered 3,000 innocent infidels, to mark the site of their first victory in the subjugation of America, and our federal government registers no protest or opposition? I predict a prairie fire in the boroughs of New York that will ignite greater prairie fires all across America and further fuel those already burning.

Again to borrow from Kenny and Dolly who had something else entirely in mind, "Something's Burning."  And like the heated fire burning in the lovers of their song, a similar fire is burning in the lovers of America's unique freedom and her unique role in this world. What Obama and the Democrats fail to perceive is that all these isolated but growing prairie fires are flaming larger and larger and very well may grow into a nationwide conflagration that is going to consume him, them and their socialist agenda.

How fitting that the flames of the leftist revolution should be consumed by the flames of an overpowering, all-consuming American patriot revolution. To borrow from the 60's lefties, too many of whom we're still fighting, "Burn, baby, burn!"

We could not go wrong identifying all our many factions and groups as "The Prairie Fire Movement," or better yet just simply as "Prairie Fire," with the friendly, outreaching motto,

"We'll smoke your butts."
