Let's get busy fixing instead of just bitching about it.

I've done some, esp. WRT contraconstitutional gun "laws" [state level vs. State constitution]… it appears that the only way to challenge it in court is to [intentionally] violate it, thereby implicitly acknowledging its authority, and then arguing from the weak position of "the accused", forced to use the juvenile-sounding defense of: I'm not guilty because the law is invalid, really! Even though there have been many arrests and convictions for its violation, it isn't valid!

That's a good first step. But we on the Right need to do a little community organizing ourselves. The majority of this nation doesn't like where we're headed, but are too afraid to speak up, thinking they're in the minority. They watch shows like Will and Grace and think the whole nation is in love with homos, and therefore they must be "behind the times" if they don't agree with homo marriage or homo adoption. They watch NCIS make a mockery of gun owners and those who go to gun shows, and think the rest of the nation must also believe we're all knuckle-dragging yayhoos who are incapable of responsible gun ownership...or completing a coherent sentence, for that matter. They hear songs like Pink's "Mr. President", and think that they, too, must be evil, heartless SOBs if they're not willing to pay 50+% of their income for social welfare, pigs at the trough programs. We can counter a lot of that crap by talking.

We who are opinionated and know how to string together a coherent argument need to actively seek public confrontations with Leftists, rather than shying away from them. We need to make clear, coherent and sensible arguments, without using big, intimidating words. Of course we'll never get a liberal admit they lost the argument, but that's not important. What is important is that people will be watching...people who may be closet conservatives, who will be encouraged by your public display of brains and ba**s. A couple of times, I've actually had people approach me afterward and ask where I learned the facts I used to destroy my opponent. They've told me they thought exactly the same as I did, but they thought they were alone. Bam-o! You've recruited another conservative, someone with whom you can work to turn them into a crusader.

You can also do this by trolling Leftist websites like the Puffington Post and the WaPo. They'll never admit they're wrong, but someone will always be reading or listening, and you very well could be the motivation they need to step into the arena and do battle.

I could go on and on about what we can do to fix our nation, but it all comes down to the fact that we have to start doing it right the @#!* now! We don't have another ten, or even five years to dither and have arguments amongst ourselves about what the definition of "conservative" is. We have to kick meek, wimpy Generation X conservatives in the a** and turn them into fanatics, and deprogram all the Leftist indoctrination Generation.com has had shoved down its throat all it's lives, that Generation X parents allowed to happen.

There's a lot of steps that can be taken before we all start loading magazines. But we have to start right now...yesterday would've been better. Now's not the time to read books or play political chess games. Now's the time to draw lines, put chips on our shoulders, and recruit more "soldiers".

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
