The Hobbits March in One Year
By Lee Cary
There’s a quiet in the Shire these days. And in Bree in the northwest of Middle-earth, the Hobbits stay close to their Smials, their “hobbit holes.” Meanwhile, the legacy media declares their end as a powerful political force. They only wish it so.
The legacy media has declared the Tea Party irrelevant.
When the 2010 election was over, the Hobbits returned to their hobbit-holes. (mmm_ not so much!~ mellie) With the votes counted, and the victories celebrated, they stopped gathering in large groups where many among the legacy media ridiculed them as old, racists, extremists…using nearly every derogatory slam except calling them pedophiles. When Democrats stuffed Obamacare down our throats, the media parroted the fraudulent claims that Hobbits had spit on black congressional representatives. It was lie. But what’s one more lie in a continuous litany of lies.
You remember all that. So do the Hobbits.
Today they quietly go about their lives and chores in the Shire.
The legacy media can’t read the Hobbits because they’re unfamiliar with life in the Shire. Ironically, they pronounce the death of the Tea Party while it is they who speak with the death rattle.
Near the final scene of the Lord of the Rings films, Gandalf crowns the new king and proclaims, “Now comes the days of the King.” The crowd cheers. The new king kisses his queen to be. The crowd applauds. Then the king the approaches the four Hobbits: Frodo, Samwise, Peregrin, and Meriadoc. The Hobbits bow to the king. He stops them, saying, “My friends, you bow to no one.” And the king leads the crowd in kneeling before the Hobbits.
That’s something akin to what the Founders had in mind for the United States of America.
One year from this November 9th, the Hobbits march to the polls.
