RANT (vanity):Is it time to take to the streets??

You know, after the last month or so of watching our Administration Senate and House of Representitives muck up offshore drilling, the war, immigration and spending, many are suggesting to not vote for the RINOs or, at best, call your US Rep.

I doubt that will do any good. They haven't listened so far

So we have gays, illegals and who knows who taking to the streets to protest for THEIR rights.

Is it time for us, Americans and Conservatives to hit the bricks?

I feel out of ammo on any other way to get GWB and the Congress' attention.

I only have about 20 more years to live (actuarily). I want to do so in the USA I grew up in. How about you?

The clock is ticking, America.

I'm with you!

I am thinking of every one pick a day and place where, in your town, you place a brick on a main street as symbolism where we draw the line.

Not a bad idea but it would have to be posted with the MSM and talk radio to have very many people do it.

[llevrok]

why tell the enemy our secrets? There are conservative blogs galore.

Mucking up the war? Afghanistan and Iraq are resounding successes!

[MikefromOhio]

And WHAT did WE do when the immigration protests were made?

We made fun of them.

Exactly the same thing would happen when you aren your 200 people took to the streets......

Afghanistan and Iraq are resounding successes!

They are micro managed from old tyme Washington generals. Reminds me of McNamara in Vietnam.

Rummy has his hands full with them.

[llevrok]

so, we've given up is what you are saying?

If anyone needs to be protested, it's the Marxist monsters in the Democrat Party.

so, we've given up is what you are saying?

I've given up on you for your "muck up .... the war" blast when CLEARLY both Afghanistan and Iraq are much better off then they were even a year ago. I think you can tell there isn't much support for this type of protest, as people on the RIGHT have jobs and other things to tend too. That's not giving up (you came up with that not me), that's being realistic.

We're too lazy / have better things to do to protest. We'd rather post on FreeRepublic about how much we'd *like* to protest.

so vitriolic, Mike. Pffft.

Have fun chasing windmills Quixote.....

you too, Flaccido

LOL. I detect some bitterness in your posts. Kinda mad that pretty much no one is taking up your cause? Why? Because the leftists do this and it NEVER helps their cause.

[llevrok]

while we so called conservatives sit around the country club talking about the price of gin rather than doing something. hoping things will improve.

Just a day or so after 9-11, a sign was posted on a local freeway overpass that I will always remember. It said "I'd rather die standing and fighting than in peace, on my knees"

My bitterness about how and where the country is going is equal or greater than what we all felt the day after 9-11. I choose to fight in what ever way I can.

I apologize for showing my bitterness to you. Onward, Mike.

[MikefromOhio]

LOL

ok say you MIGHT get 200 people to show up in your little march.

What will that do to anyone or anything?

There are other ways, like voting, to get their attention.

This country is going just fine. Things may not be going our way 100% of the time but dammit it's STILL 100000% better than anything else out there.
