“Obama is systematically dismantling it and all we can do is watch.”
Why is it that we can only watch? It’s time to act. I’m 80 yo - what’s your excuse?
I left my home in Lake Tahoe and moved further into remoteness in the 80s because of the urban liberals who were regulating us out of our liberties and lifestyle. Over the years I have seen them move into more than one community and promote the same sort of takeover by which they ruin the life style, divide the community and raise taxes to the point that people and businesses are driven away.
SO WHAT CAN WE DO? - TNoldman says, it's time to act.
Well, I've been acting and organizing for years and I'm getting to tired to do anything but move one more time and hope that I can find a place to enjoy the rest of my years in relative peace.
While liberals can draw a huge crowd of anarchists, arsonists, looters and other militants in a matter of hours it is becoming harder and harder to get more conservative people to even make the effort to contact their representatives in government. I've paid for auto and home insurance all my life and never had a claim. Yet, I keep doing it because I know it might be necessary someday. Other than my personal comfort, I've seen no benefit in being insured.
Maybe it is the same with people who can't see a benefit in participating political action - they just don't see a benefit. What I can't drill into them is that they are also becoming blind to what they are losing because it is happening bit by bit and they are numb to the news.
In the liberal county where I live there was not one single republican candidate on the ballot for state, county, or local office in the last election- not one.
