Those of us who are self-appointed advocates — who expend our efforts trying to persuade a few more people to our political point of view — must sit back in slack-jawed wonder when the great American public makes one of its great roars, as we all have been hearing in town hall meetings across the country.
In the animal kingdom, it is the lion that has the loudest roar. Scientists say it is made as a warning to advertise the animal’s presence. Are you listening, Washington? The current American public’s roar certainly is being heard around the world. Consider the following lead from Britain’s Daily Telegraph newspaper a few days ago:
“It was a scene of breathtaking political theatre. Arlen Specter, the veteran Pennsylvania senator, stood in stony-faced shock as one of his constituents delivered a furious tirade just a few feet away. ‘One day God is going to stand before you, and he’s going to judge you and the rest of your damn cronies,’ bellowed the senator’s grey-bearded adversary in an encounter replayed countless times on American television. ‘Then you will get your just desserts.’ Minutes later, a woman prompted a standing ovation with her emotional outpouring. ‘I don’t believe this is just health care. This is about the systematic dismantling of this country,’ she said, her voice quaking. ‘I don’t want this country turning into Russia, turning into a socialized country. What are you going to do to restore this country back to what our founders created, according to the Constitution?'”
