AUTHOR’S NOTE: I’m exhausted from the road, and just couldn’t spell or grammar check…sorry for any *yaaaawwwn* mistakes. Thanks for reading and God Bless.

I was angry with liberals in L.A., D.C. and all points in between, but I had to LIVE with the especially annoying bleeding-hearted, back stabbing and hypocritical dolts of Hollywood. I was angry living there and angry as I drove away. Something weird happened to me in the heartland…

Over the last two days of driving east along Interstates 40 and 44 two emotional weather fronts collided in the front seat of my crossover SUV:  The Cold Front being the pathetic, disgusting and racist policies of liberals, led by the Obama administration have come to the fore 100% (We’ve always known they were there, now others are catching on). The Warm Front? America.

As I drove along the news on the XM talk stations was about the Black Panthers being coddled and the Tea Party being villified as racist. When I heard Shelia Jackson-Lee’s “pulled off their hoods” KKK comment, I just about hit the roof…actually, I did. With my fist, I punded the roof of my car.  This is where God and country come in: Almost immediately, God stepped in and had me look out the window. As I gazed, I remembered the past 48 hours of truckstops, motels and restaurants. I remembered the food, the people who served it and those I sat with. I thought about the smiles, the kind phrases and gratitude for my business. I thought about the visions one can only soak in while driving from coast to coast in America. Only here can you start off a day next to a painted desert mesa and end it endless-sky farm country.

All of these things reminded my of why I am optimistic even when I THINK I’m doom and gloomish: Yes, it is an ugly, dangerous situation we’re living through. Yes, we are currently under attack from within. Yes, there are citizens who have been indoctrinated. While this guy and his socialist pals may have the keys right now, we’ll get them back soon enough. While Obama may be doing loads of damage, we’ll repair it. It’s kind of like how all of us normal people think about the environment and the lie of global warming. We KNOW the earth has been here for billions of years. It’s all so much bigger than us, and will survive for billions more, even if we TRIED to kill it. Similarly, America is so much bigger and greater than a wild pack of marxists. She is too deep and loving and welcoming to be trifled with by a daft thug like Obama and his ilk.

Just when my rage and fury were getting the best of me, I calmed down and looked around. I took a breath and thought about the smiles, the thank yous and the wishes for a safe journey. Barack, Rahm and the rest got nothin’ on all the greatness America is. No matter how much they hate her. America is NOT what they want the world to think she is. No matter how hard they try, America will never be the socialist dump they want it to be. We’ll get her back on track, and ensure that America will always be what I’ve experinced in the days I’ve been driving east from L.A….

America the beautiful. America the strong. America the smile and the hand up. America the tolerant and inclusive. America the Rockwell painting and baseball. America the Jewish and Christian. America the soldier and his family. America the factory and the farm. America the poor and the rich and the in between. America the billboard and the biscuit. America the cowboy and the Indian. America the great superhighway and the dusty dirt road. America good and bad, but much more good.

Like the song tells us to, we gotta stand beside her. Now.
