We have to make sure that they cannot play the “victim” though. It seems like they go there first. Who is John Boyd? He sounds interesting.

Not much in the way of leadership - they laugh about that, but it only means we are self-starters and NOT followers, as opposed to the libs, who spout the same Talking Points across the country on any given day.

Oh, get off your high horse. There is far more to political activism than your blogging.

Sound a lot like the Frum/Brooks bedwetting.
I think the dam has broken on the let’s all have a discussion program after the Dim fest of hate over the 8 years of GWB and the Rancor of Pelosi and such.

The liberals are left with no one to attack but we citizens and that just doesn’t play well at all. They try to attatch names like Limbaugh, Beck and Palin to the movement but it doesn’t stick because none of them are doing more than speaking.

My very favorite sign from the 912 protest said “It doesn’t matter what this sign says, you’ll call it racist anyway.”

As conservatism is criminalized by the left, we will need to be willing to break the law (civil disobediance) more and more.

I personally think a 5 million man, right to open carry march on D.C. would be a good thing. The MSM would crap themselves and the D.C. police wouldn’t dare to try to arrest people.

How about just “fascist”, which is quite correct.

We’ve got a much bigger advantage than that - we’ve got truths they refuse to acknowledge:

Socialism doesn’t work.

Deficit spending is a route to ruin.

Social Security and Medicare are Ponzi schemes with unimaginable unfunded liabilities.

Obama has zero experience in doing anything productive.

Feel free to add to the list - it’s almost endless.

Perhaps it’s OK to stick the Left with some of the same tactics, but I would hope that Conservatives would also remember morality and not descend to the Marxist “ends justify the means” thinking that dominates the Left. We should remain morally clean throughout, unlike the Left.

It really is. 9/12 was my first march. It was beyond exhilarating.

I can't wait for the next one.

I’ve never heard anyone yell, ‘Nazi’ or ‘big brother’ at any tea party I’ve been to, including the one in DC last Saturday. Everyone was angry, but it was the controlled anger of a right position.

It’s called BEATING THEM AT THEIR OWN GAME.

But there’s MUCH MORE TO BE DONE and it ain’t as glamorous as marching on Washington.

Please DO NOT misunderstand my reasons for producing these two videos. If folks want to gather together to let “them” know that “we,” like Howard Beal in “Network” are “…mad as hell and not going to take it any more…,” it’s STILL – for the time being anyway – a relatively free country so we can do that.

All I’m saying here is that, especially in tough economic times, there are more EFFICIENT and EFFECTIVE ways to expend our FINITE RESOURCES.

It’s not as much fun as sweating on the Mall but there IS a better – and less costly — way to scare hell out of “them” — and you won’t even have to leave home.
