One reason the derps have taken over formerly red areas is that they know how to organize. We can laugh at the "community organizer" but we had to call the fool "president" for 8 yrs.
Not really directing this at you gen. But we as conservatives value our independence a little too much in the activism area. I have seen many individual conservatives at the Texas Capitol trying to make a difference alone on one issue. It's like one gnat at a picnic. Nobody pays it much mind and it gets squashed. But when people band together and arrive in an organized manner to participate legally in the discourse they get noticed! Even tho many of us may place more emphasis on this or that issue, the sheer number behind us gets attention.
As conservatives, we want our attention in a good way, not like the pink hat mob. We've been at this a few years in Texas. Our numbers are growing. And we've been complimented on our decorum while the rats have said our presence "scares them." Well, good. I want those dirtbags scared, running, hiding and out of my govt. Anyone reading this far please consider becoming active in your state. Remember the Free Republic of 20 years ago? We did a lot of this.
No argument! Agree 100%. But I recommend adding in the laughing.
Back during the Sore Loserman debacle, a bunch of DC area FReepers would stand outside the VP residence as a counter protest to the (paid) pro-Gore protesters on the other side of the street. Laughing at them was VERY effective. (No, I wasn’t one of them. Can’t take any credit there. But I did get 1st hand reports.)
i ABSOLUTELY AGREE about being organized. You see how difficult it is to get even a handful of FREEPERS organized for a specific action and we are among the better such folks! Sigh.
I live in Texas, but far away from most of the action. Let me know when anything is going on and I may find a few good folks to accompany if feasible. Thanks.
