A resistance generally pops up when there has been a coup or a country has been conquered. Think the French Resistance. Think Bay of Pigs. The use of the phrase seems apt here, as the left is acting as if there has been a coup, albeit a bloodless one. How could the usurper have taken over our country without the aid of outside forces inimical to us? Thus we get the collusion theory. And so we get the investigation mania, that we need bring to bring this coup to light and set things right - i.e., get the usurpers out. The theory seems to be, something must be wrong, since in a sane world this could not happen.

Well, it's not exactly like the French Resistance - nobody is is blowing up bridges, only one so far has taken up arms, and only one actor has said he thought it was time an actor once again assassinated a president(Depp) - but the spirit of fighting the usurpers in every way possible brings to mind the Churchill speech We shall fight them in the fields.

Maybe it is time we all stopped looking at the other side as usurpers that must be stopped and started working together again. I cannot pinpoint when it became more important to win than to govern, but it is time to get back to governing through compromise and cooperation.

Sorry OO, been in the field the last few days and managing a few projects in the evening, and now I'm traveling. I'll get back to you in a few days when I'm not as busy.

But I like that you're waiting for my reply!
