If a few million patriots showed up at the Capitol and loudly protested for weeks on end, it would force the MSM to pay attention to our grievances, and would force Congress to submit to our demands.

Wasn't it some Glen Beck or Tea Party thing in Washington DC somewhere in the past 5 years that 2 million people showed up for an the liberal lamestream media IGNORED it?

2 million Conservatives garnered ZERO network news coverage.

2 million (or more) pissed off patriots exercising their second amendment rights in Washington DC is gonna get some attention and make some eyes POP.

As I said earlier, we live in a tyranny. The only response tyranny is going to understand is the free, heavy, sustained and overwhelming demonstration why the Second Amendment exists.

Not that I wish for it, or hell not that I even want to see it happen --- to me it just feels like it's inevitable. I don't say that with any glee either.

Those people showed up to listen to impassioned speeches in the park, while peacefully waving banners and flags.

That's NOT what I'm talking about. Not even close.

Think more along the lines of the Arab Spring protests in Egypt. I'm talking Millions of angry, pissed off Americans, who are willing to break a few rules to get the attention of our elected reps and the rest of fedgov.

When MLK and his supporters marched through the South, that was civil disobedience. It caused a lot of friction. It got a lot of media attention. A lot of people went to jail, and some were even hurt.

But, it got the job done. Those people didn't bring guns, but they did bring their defiance and willingness to confront whatever brutality the state could deliver, in order to secure their rights.

And they changed a nation by doing so.

I think that most of us here have realized that the system is too corrupt to work within. Nothing but force, or a threat of force, is going to get them to move a muscle. But before we march on the Capitol with guns, we need to take next logical step, which is, unrelenting, massive protests, employing carefully crafted acts of civil disobedience.

If we don't take that next logical step, then we will find ourselves with no option BUT force to accomplish our ends. I'd rather get this done without bloodshed, and it is doable.

The only coverage the Tea Party gets is the Left-Wing Plant that tries to make the TP look like a bunch of gun crazy racists.

And they usually succeed.

Sadly, the left owns the media. Own the media, own the message.

On top of that, they own the schools and can start in with their Indoctrination at an early age.

If anyone knows how to counter the media and academia, let me know.
