After many years, my first vanity post. I am very worried for our nation, for our freedom, for my children and grandchildren. It is comforting to Freep about. But we all are preaching to the choir here. We must reach outside of Free Republic and wake up the silent majority. We can use the power of the internet to change things and I think we had better do it fast. Is there anyone here willing to help?

I’m sorry to inform you that your thinking ,although correct, is in the minority.
The American people have forgotten their roots and I believe that all is lost.
I would love to do what you say but I am currently trying to feed and house my family. I do not have access to a computer at work and I have 2 jobs. The rest of my time is spent cooking and sleeping. I have a few minutes each day to check out my favorite sites but no time or energy to poke the left.
I am worried for my country too but I think the time is not right. We need to get Rush and Lady Gaga off the minds of the public and something must happen to enrage them to take action.
At some point Americans will emerge from their stupor but until then.....

There is a difference tween Mr 0b0t0, and Mr moneybags.

Mr Moneybags is getting paid to take a dive the next election!

Mitty wont attack Mr 0b0t0, yet he turns right around and complains about how much $$$ he's had to spend to trash the republicans.
Plus he's got long time Clintonista, Trump about as far up as he can stuff him.

Mittens is a fall guy!

I wish you would tell it to the Romneybots here on FR who live to post pro-Willard articles.

We, the Republic, are being denied the choice to say NO to socialism. It’s a setup.

Actually, we're bing denied nothing. On election day, we have the option of selecting a candidate for a given elected position, or not. There is nothing that says every position MUST have a selection for your ballot to count.

This November is shaping up to be a choice between Obama, Romney, or no one. If no one wins, it is probbly counted as a vote for Obama. But, whomever you choose, you have a choice between Obama or Obama-lite.

Just pretend that you are in Russia and your choice is between Putin or 10 years in Siberia. Putin should be looking pretty good about now!

In all seriousness, Raven, here is what I posted yesterday on another thread.

We conservatives have some difficult choices to make. Signing this petition may be symbolic, but it has no actual affect and everyone knows it. This might as well be Dennis Kucinich and his monthly bill to impeach George Bush.

Here is where things stand:
1) Currently, it appears as though Romney will garner enough delegates tomorrow to capture the nomination. If that actually happens, a lot of us will stay home November because we just can’t bring ourselves to vote for him.
2) The Rush kerfuffal has allowed the left to divert attention from other things and, IMO, it will give them a cause and a reason to go after conservatives, conservatism and talk radio in a way we have never seen before.
3) We know that the left is not concerned about the future of America, only about increasing or adding to their power. To that end, they have reduced education to propaganda, driven God out of the schools and are working on driving God out of America, and are now desperately trying to maintain their hold on our healthcare as well as turning sex into a public sport; starting with the likes of Ms. Fluke!
4) As we watch our country descend into a third world abyss from which it is unlikely we will ever return, is hoping for victory at the ballot box in November or signing pointless petitions REALLY the best we can do? In the late 1950s, Rosa Parks objected to the fact that black Americans were required to occupy the back of the bus and took action. In the 1960s, black Americans objected to being treated like second class citizens and took to the streets as well as becoming Freedom Riders; a cause that led to the death of many of them. Meanwhile, we conservatives sit around assuring ourselves that things will change in November. If Romney ends up as our candidate, we know how November is going to turn out - Obama will get his second term and America will breath its last gasp as a free nation.

So, I ask you - is this the best we can do? Are we so apathetic that we are unwilling or afraid to take the necessary action to regain control of our country?? At best, we can hope to divide America into two countries - one America for conservatives and one America for those whose sole goal in life is to suckle the teat of big government. At worst, we lose our country and our freedom and become Greece or Europe.

WE can choose what tomorrow looks like. But, if tomorrow is going to be bright and shiney, the time for choosing is growing very short. What’s it going to be - fish, or cut bait?

It's not easy to get through to liberals. I have lost two friends and my brother-in-law doesn't even speak to me any more. Believe me, I've tried waking them up. You just can't fix stupid.

I am 1000% with you. ANYTHING at all,WE NEED to start a CALL TO ARMS on all issues FREEPERS NEED TO be a FORCE!!!!!

“We, the Republic, are being denied the choice to say NO to socialism and we had better act now!”

The problem with your premise is that a substantially large (and growing) percentage of the American population DOES want “socialism”, and will vote for those who promise to impose it.

Within ten years, this “divide” (socialists vs. traditionalists) will be at or very close to the tipping point. What then?
