The Tea Party began as a "Movement". Same with Occupy.
A considerable number of media requests coming in to my box refer to the "Citadel Movement".
Why?
Because the concept of the Citadel has tapped into a major artery in America.
We are mainlining. Beck's concept in Texas has tapped part of the same sentiment. Real Americans are fed up. We've been tolerant for generations, and we are tired of being tolerant of stupid and lazy people.
Stupid and lazy people are a fact of life. They are everywhere, and they breed too often. But we don't lock people up simply because they are stupid or lazy. We don't put them in ditches just for being stupid or lazy. We are not Sparta where a newborn who looks like he may be stupid or lazy ends up at the bottom of a cliff.
Nor are we obligated to live under the ideas or edicts of stupid or lazy people. We are not obligated to live more danger-filled lives just because stupid and lazy people claim we should all follow one of their stupid rules.
We are at a place in time and space where the stupid and lazy people have gained a lot of ground at the levers of power in America and they are using power beyond their ken. They do not realize that we are nearly done tolerating their stupidity. They are too stupid to see it. It's always the unknown unknowns that'll get ya.
There is a reason that the entire national inventory of firearms and ammunition was purchased in little more than a month. The stupid people don't have what it takes to understand how many dollars, how much personal time, how much emotional energy, is required for any group of Americans to clear the shelves of any commodity in America in 30 days. People got off their couches and bought everything they could find for a fight. They are still buying.
Why?
Because there is a Movement that has been born in America.
The Citadel concept and the mind-blowing response and support from Americans is nothing more than a symptom of that Movement, evidence that the Movement exists, as if more evidence is needed.
I read a few comment threads every now and again as I watch the organized Left and the losers in Life try to kill the Citadel. They focus on "Kerodin". You see the stupidity in action? Stupid people don't even understand when they are fighting an idea versus a person.
The Citadel is an idea. It can't be killed. It is already alive in too many hearts across real America.
It is part of a Movement. That movement has a name: Liberty.
