Up the Establishment!

After thirty-eight calendar years we can now state, at long last and unequivocally, the 60s are finally at an end: the revolutionaries have won and now occupy the offices of the establishment. They now are the establishment, they are the man.

Meanwhile, your Bloviator is of reasonably chipper demeanor as should be all conservatives. Obama, Reid and Pelosi will soon be attempting the crafting of their respective Utopian visions. Those visions will conflict, of course, soon on, and the honeymoon will then be over for President Obama. When that happens, conservatives consigned to the back rows of the bleachers in the political arena can just relax, swill beer and enjoy the sight of congress and president (the establishment) tearing each other to shreds. Add to that the thrilling spectacle of hordes of Kos Kidz and moveon.ogres (establishment lackeys) who, not having the Republicans or Chimpy McBushhitlerburton to excoriate in their characteristically colorful language, will be forced to chose sides among their fellow left-wingers in office. These next four years are not going to be dull.

The nation will survive the farrago. During their wilderness years, Republican officials might profitably occupy themselves getting reacquainted with the notions of limited government, limited taxation and free markets. Who knows? After four years of establishment politics, those radical ideas' time may have come again.
