Bruce is surely among the angels today, waiting for us in peaceful reward. He has slipped the burdensome bonds of this mortal coil, and his good work is done.
As far as I can see, no one but Sarah has done so publicly. And that’s what counts. No one but Sarah thought, “He just threatened my people! Free Americans!”
I absolutely agree. That is why I suggested TOPIX. It is the internet equivalent to the local bar. Trust me. Look it up. There are other such sites in every community. If internet is your only way to contribute a helping hand to the Tea Party cause, this is a means to do that.
As you have said, old fashioned word of mouth activism is the way to go. Think Tupperware. Think beauty shop. Think yard sale. Think church potluck. Think weight watchers. Have the message you wish to convey firmly planted and be prepared to speak with love, compassion and conviction.
During the 2008 run up, I turned many votes to the Repub. ticket, for locals and nationals, during car pool talks over fears. I’m talking generational registered dems. They were and are still committed to the dem party of yesteryear, and they had to be made to see that outsiders took their lovely party away. They had to be co-opted to the higher message of what is decent and good by any means, even if it means putting the old ways in the back seat “for a bit.” Union members have been force fed the loyalty brainwashing so much, that it will almost take a union mother telling a union son that it’s okay to “turn your back, just this once.”
Those who are seeking to help these union folks better make their pleas honest, heart-felt, and carefully targeted to the most influential “mother” types. Help them see that the sentiment that began unions in the first place, correcting a wrong, is with the Tea Party now.
Women are the key to winning this war—loving, God-fearing, patriotic, women pleading to the better nature in all of us. This is the true call to glory for any women. This is what feminist doctrine believers dream of, but cannot reach, because their views are not based on holy truths.
The day of the women is truly upon us, but it is nothing like the day the bra-burners of before dreamed of. This day is for the Prov. 31 women, and it is she who will bring our nation to the healing restoration we all so desperately need.
FOR GOD AND COUNTRY!!!!!
That's pretty much the very definition of a Tea Party member. We're the 'off yer duff' crowd. Not a damn thing is going to change in this country, if we don't all do something, however small.
Like you, I support Governor Palin for president because she says all of the same things that I would say to my neighbor over the back yard fence. She speaks for me, and just about every person I see commenting on this board (whether they support her or not).
Of all the likely contenders for president, I think she articulates our unified message the best, but more than that, she personifies it. She hasn't just talked the talk in her twenty years in public service - she has followed through with real deeds.
That, more than anything else, convinces me that she is the best person for the job.
I could not agree more.
It's Worse....
My better half has the weather on @ the crack of down, Detroit 4 is on...
Small story how Obama was in town the the bigger part of the segment was about AAAARREETHHA Franklin and how good she looks and snag, our hometown deva...
Gag me, the Republic is going to hell in a handbasket and we don't mention a threat by a Union Leader to millions of Americans, yet we will fawn over a women who at one time was a dead-beat to the tune of a $250,000 in unpaid credit cards and car purchases...
Thanks for posting the “Daily Caller” page..
Thank you, G. That was very kind of you.
And you are more correct than you know. Bruce was a good Christian man, and I know He is with His Savior today.
And because he knew that, he did his duty when it called.

Any candidate who hasn't condemned Hoffa's statements by the end of today is undeserving of the nomination.
Amen Geologist!!! AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!
All those Freepers that are arguing about the “context” should consider that “Hit them at the ballot box” thing includes Black Pampers at the ballot box thanks to Holder.
Palin as usual, is correct. The rest will as usual, have an excuse for not joining in her condemnation.
I'm thinking more than one owes favors for some campaign money and dares not say anything.
Long about 2007 I started sounding the alarm with my hubby. He’s a great guy, but not keyed in. Women tend to key in to the pulse better, sometimes, I think, because God meant for us to be effective nurturers. Anyway, if your other-half is not listening, change the channel, diplomatically. By channel, I mean “life channel” not TV channel. It is the duty as the other-half of a whole to make sure the whole stays healthy, especially if one half is in denial. That’s what love does. Those of us who are keyed in will have to “love” until we are heard and until it hurts to turn this thing around.
***********************************
They should have been out there yesterday condemning Hoffa. This morning wasn't really soon enough, and after today is too little, too late.
GOP-E? is the E Elites?
Well, slamming Hoffa in public is an easy thing for anyone to do. That doesn’t mean that in the GOP elites own minds, they like the Dem and union thugs doing their dirty work for them.
They can offer whatever excuses they choose, but for many of us it won’t be enough.
So proud to be a patriot, and so glad to read such eloquence!
What I love about her is she doesn’t do the weak “so-and-so needs to apologize”. I just detest it when the elite feigns being offended. It’s nothing more than pandering...they think it makes them appear to care about “the little guy”. I want change, not apologies they don’t mean asked for by people who don’t really give a damn. Sarah just takes it to them.
Cindie
Exactly. It won’t. There has been a tectonic shift in people’s attitude over the last year already and these idiots are blind to it. That ain’t wishful thinking. Nov. 2010 proved it. It’s the old buggy whip thing. No one wants or needs them, but they kept making them until they went belly up.
The oldschool pols will keep doing the same’ol over and over expecting people will be there just like always until the election/elections send them belly up.
Buggy whip makers blamed the public for their woes. So will/do the pols.
Isn’t that encouraging that all stayed!! Good going! Yes, Facebook and Twitter and even Youtube are very effective, but there are those local outlets too that are getting neglected and that reach people we don’t normally have a chance to talk to. Great going, GoCards! Keep up the positive work!
