We are all Joe the Plumber now.
By Kevin “Coach” Collins
“There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.” William F. “Bull” Halsey
An ordinary American, a man we have come to call Joe the Plumber, has had his life turned upside down because he told Barack Obama his tax plans would hurt his dream of owning his own business.
In an unguarded moment Obama was caught on camera using the Marxist language of “spreading the wealth.” Immediately, Joe and the rest of America recognized the “wealth” Obama meant to “spread around” was our hard earned money.
Now Joe is being savagely attacked by the Obama camp ( let’s be honest Obama will say his campaign is not doing anything, but that is a lie).
But as the Left has now learned, Joe was a great American waiting to happen. He accepts the challenge to greatness and is standing tall.
Nevertheless, he needs our help. If we let this good man stand alone we will be no better than the Socialists trying to destroy all of us.
Make no mistake about the fury of the attacks America’s Joes will face. The Communist Party of America has said, “this is our time” and they mean it. Obama is their candidate and the have been saving themselves for this fight since they were pushed down a hole in the Reagan years.
We must find and take every opportunity for greatness that comes before us. Standing alone Joe will be one easy target. But standing with him, we can overwhelm the forces of gray lifelessness that want to make our America a socialist gulag.
Now is the hour of America’s need. All of America’s Joes need to stand up and fight for our country against those who would destroy her.
Final note: Interestingly enough the beginning of Joe’s name “Wurzel” means “root” in German. Joe is at the very root of what American life is about and that is obvious. Because he has such strong roots nothing Barack Obama or Joe Biden have been able to say has hurt this fine man.
