But too many people are too far in debt to really sustain such a thing, for even a MERE week! Gosh! Let's think about this! (in my best Melvin Milktoast voice!) "...can I get time off from work?! What if they fire me?! I'll lose my insurance benefits!" Hell...that's all going to be a moot point soon anyway! It all falls back to something I said the other day about personal loss. Everybody knows how to really "fix" this problem, but everybody is in "pause" counting what they're going to personally lose and deciding whether or not they're willing to do it. Right now with the disorganized mess that we're all currently in, nobody wants to go down individually in a "blaze of glory". Who in their right mind wants to die for nothing?! Certainly not I! But if a true leader were to rise from this mess and inspire and organize everybody, he/she/it could do anything from declare that we're going to STOP paying taxes, to declare a shooting war, and people would follow. But instead, the best we can muster is to debate whether or not John McCain is a conservative?! Moreover this, I think the left is actually "amused" by the Tea Parties. I've held my peace about this up until now, but I recently said to somebody here local who called and invited me that I'll go when it's announced that they're bringing tar, feathers, and rope! Oh sure the left notices! ...and I'm quite certain that they're well pleased that we can occupy ourselves with such time wasters while they move steadily forward. We're pathetic!
But as it is, everybody is too distracted and in fear to do anything. They're like a good friend of mine over this way who stays "paralyzed" and ineffective. He frets at the prospect of two major decisions and ends up remaining status-quo and not pursuing either and so his own personal situation remains the same, which is generally somewhere below the "good" line, but above the "terrible" line. It might not sound so bad, but it leaves him VULNERABLE and easy to prey on by others who would do so, and DO. That's were we're at. Worse than this, our enemy knows this, and they're capitalizing PERFECTLY on it, and will continue as best I can determine.
Mark my words as an observer. If people don't organize EFFECTIVELY, we as a collective people will be disassembled, like a huge Lego creation...and turned into something powerless and moot. They will gradually "de-legitimize" us and validate and authorize themselves. They'll simply make us all criminals by the very principles on which we exist, which is insane to be honest because all we want is for the Constitution to be followed and for the Rule of Law to be implemented. The left would never just send the whole thing crashing down on the floor. They don't want to get "too much" attention in taking us apart. That could cause us to notice and organize effectively! ...and they don't want that! They'll just pull off a few bricks at the edges each day. By the time they're through, the only ones among us remaining will be so few that there will be nothing which those remaining can do that really matters. We're watching this very thing happen now and personally it pains and grieves me to see it....and it insults me that so many who claim to be with me are selling us out now, and leaving an insanely small number to fight a nearly impossible problem.
I can't say as I would go so far to say that I hate weak, fearful conservatives. But I hate that they are so easily controlled and steered into ineffectiveness by fear and doubt...rendered ineffective and paralyzed by it, while the left marches on, categorizing us as domestic terrorists, extremists, and many other things that simply aren't true.
I hear so many people around me state that they can't WAIT until Obama is out of office in a little under four years. Can we actually wait that long? I put on my "Systems Scalability Analyst" hat from work and think that people are NOT going to be happy if they simply wait.
No good can come from these observations of mine. Whether conservatives simply sit and wait, no good will come. If they become outwardly aggressive and do any other number of equally difficult things, no good will come. But there's a MORAL IMPERATIVE to do what's right here. ...and like with my friend, becoming paralyzed and ineffective with fear, doing nothing....or things which are meaningless (but have great "feel good factor") simply isn't the correct choice.
I'll be seriously surprised if the admin mods don't pull this posting.
