Screwball Central By Monica Crowley (bio)

Anarchists, Code Pink, Flava Flav, Cindy Sheehan, tree sitters, ANSWER, feminists, PETA, vegans, pot legailzers, Naderites, illegal immigrants and the libs who love them. Levitations. Public nudity. Street theater. Puppets. And that’s just in the first 24 hours. At least the Democratic National Convention doesn’t try to be something it’s not: classy, elegant, leadership capable. Normal. One of the major groups orchestrating the chaos and anarchy calls itself “Recreate ‘68.” Their objective is to convulse Denver the way the hippies, yippies, and sundry other nutballs convulsed Chicago during the Summer of Love. Of course, America took one look at these unwashed, longhaired, bead-wearing, drug-zonked fanatics and the upheaval they provoked and said, “Not for us.” The danger for Obama is that ‘68 might be recreated a little too vividly. He already has a radical problem, and I’m not just talking about his long friendship with Bill Ayers. He’s radical on his opposition to war, he’s radical on wealth redistribution, and he’s radical on abortion. He’s befriended radicals, promoted their agendas, and espoused them himself. For decades. Even the slightest whiff of radicalism from his convention will reinforce what many voters already believe about Obama. The Silent Majority will rise again. In fact, the Silent Majority has already begun to make itself known. John McCain’s poll numbers stun most Democrats: he’s not supposed to be running even with Obama. He’s not even supposed to be close. He’s running even because the Silent Majority that elected Richard Nixon (twice!) and Ronald Reagan (twice!) and both Bushes is still a potent force. It’s not made up of the effete liberals who make excuses for or wink at anti-American radicalism. Instead, the Silent Majority is the heart and soul of this country, who believe in it, its goodness, its generosity, its strength, and its nobility. The far-left maniacs driving the DNC bus this week find purpose in making fun of America, and running it down. The Silent Majority takes a deep, profound, almost spiritual pride in America. And it’s a quiet pride…until Election Day.
