"All you need is organization."

Bingo! And THAT's what we lack today. The majority is still conservative, and there a great many dissatisfied with Washington.

The problem is, when there's a "Ferguson", there is a machine in place to jump on Twitter, pound the message boards, bus in "protestors", and plaster it all on the news networks until it permeates the masses.

No better example of this exists than what happened with the Confederate battle flag last week.

Three weeks ago, nobody really cared that the flag was flying in South Carolina, or was for sale on Amazon, and Wal-Mart, and Target. But boom, in one fell-swoop, it's gone -- erased from history. Protestors came out of the woodwork, media pressure increased. The media contacted large retailers asking them if they planned to continue selling these "racist" flags.

This machine is capable of nearly anything now.

So watch your six.

We’ll see what happens when Ted Cruz gets a public stage during the debates.

Otherwise, I’ve noticed that a lot of conservatives are just sitting on their haunches waiting for Obama to depart (497 days!), and they need to make an action network for organization. Democrats have rent-a-crowds. We need to go there and challenge their political rallies. We also need to openly protest the government instead of just simmering on the sidelines. It’s our country, too.

They have the power of the Democrat Party/media complex. The Democrat Party takes our tax payers dollars and have been giving them to their hundreds of left wing groups. They are professional community organizers and they do it with our money. If we had a real opposition party this would have been brought to light many years ago and the opposition would have demanded that taxpayers money not be put to this use.
