From Their Slumber

clipped from www.americanthinker.com In the Tolkien mythologies, the Ents are a race of human-like trees living deep in a primordial forest. Ancient, towering creatures, Ents move slowly and deliberately, requiring decades of contemplation before coming to a decision on matters great and small.  In the Middle Earth Trilogy, Ents are warned time and again of the danger they face at the hand of man, but it is not until they go to the edge of their forest and witness the destruction of their homeland that Ents rise up and defeat their foes. For almost a decade Middle America has lived as Ents. Fast forward to Monday, September 21, 2009: Nancy Pelosi is blubbering about “assassins,”  Jimmy Carter is whining about “color,” Jon Stewart is screaming at the reporters of America as to why two kids scooped them on the ACORN story.  And then along comes Bertha Lewis. The actions of Barack Obama and his minions over the past eight months have awoken the Ents from slumber.
