American Awakening?

From the NYT today:

"“The Washington establishment threw everything they had at him and yet he prevailed,” Mr. DeMint said. “Rand’s victory is part of an American awakening that is taking place across the country as people embrace the principles of freedom that are the backbone of our country.”"

I guess most Americans go about their lives sedated until they have one of these awakenings.

God: Protect us from woken up Americans!
