It is hard to believe, but we increasingly have two separate Americas. Many liberals have their "government knows best" and "America is bad" positions and the rest of Americans believe in America's exceptionalism. Tomorrow, many liberals will "celebrate" something socialists, communists and anarchists around the world call a "Day of Rage". They want to fight "market dictatorship." They want an end to capitalism and the free enterprise system in America and around the world. In America, they will "take to the streets" and protest at Wall Street in New York City.

The devastating news that Barack Obama and his party lost a huge special election Tuesday night -- in the staunch Democrat congressional district of the disgraced Anthony Weiner -- effectively ends the presidency of Obama.

Their crocodile tears over his statement last Sunday in New Hampshire that the easy money policies of the small majority of the Federal Reserve Board members -- most especially Chairman Ben Bernanke -- are "almost treasonous," are evident to the American people. Perry's statement is not much worse than Barack Obama inflating the number of states to 57. 
Charles Krauthammer is right. It indeed is going to be a President Perry or a President Bachmann or a President Romney or a reelected Obama in January 2013. Most of the television political gurus, including Krauthammer, think it is going to be either Rick Perry or Michele Bachmann fighting it out in "Round One" for the social conservative/Tea Party vote and the right to face Mitt Romney in "Round Two." Wrong!
The concerted attack on the Tea Party during the past couple of weeks -- by not only the Democrat leaders, but by their like-minded friends in the news media -- is astounding. Prior to the debt ceiling legislation being signed into law by Barack Obama last week, the coordinated attack campaign against the Tea Party included using the talking points from the political hacks at the Democrats' national headquarters. The main talking point was that the Tea Party activists were terrorists. They whined that the Tea Party was also holding the country hostage, and on and on.
