Ok, Freepers,
This is mainly in response to some of the posts I have read today. I am DISGUSTED by many of you on this page, but not for the reasons you think I am.
I am tired of those (Conservatives are BAD about this) who are giving up the Fight for Conservatism. All of you Chicken Little types who would rather roll over crying "woe is me" than figure out a way to BEAT BACK the Left!
I, for one, am not done fighting. This country is FAR too important to give up on. Yes, we are almost to a point of no return and yes, our values are under attack on a daily basis...
So, what do some of you do? GIVE UP! QUIT! Not vote! You'd rather curl up in a FETAL position with your John Boehner hankies and do nothing. Well, to all of those I am talking about....good riddance! We don't want you in the trenches anyway.
As for me, I will do what I can to fight for our values. I am one man...we are each individuals...and alone, we might not make a difference (although, I think we can) but together, we are strong.
My suggestion: Freepers, many of you are dedicated Patriots to this country and to our cause. Help us stand and fight. I urge ANY of you to run for Congress...TARGET Republicans first as they are hurting us more than Democrats. Support TRUE Tea Party candidates and help us take out the Leftists in our own party.
Friends, this is a start. I know we are fighting a fight that has been waged against us for years. We know that Republicans will stand for NOTHING. However, we have a few brave souls in Congress who will fight for us. They need our support.
So, to end this rant, buck up and fight back. If you truly believe in our cause and in our country, you will NEVER, NEVER quit. Maybe I am just an optimist, but I still believe in the Shining City Upon a Hill...and I believe in ALL of you.
Never stop fighting....we will win!
Or thread deleted as a low-value vanity.
If the thread stays up, I christen it an "anti-opus," and give it a 1/10 - it's primarily emotion, but appears sincere. Decent structure for a short essay.
I agree in all particulars. Let’s get out there and fight!
I hear ya brother.
I’d love to run, but I’d have to quit my job or run afoul of the Hatch act.
The tipping point will come.
And it will not be pretty.
For liberals.
Bide your time.
How could anyone with a fragment of a spine even think about giving the country up to the far left? Are there really people here like that? I hope to hades not.
Or you could just STFU as you have annoyed and/or insulted half the people on FR in the past 4 days. I vote STFU. :-)
Guh-bye nOOb...Ass wipe...
There is much that can be done if you are awake. I printed out the contact info of my state senator and some facts and links about medicaid expansion and went door to door. If someone answered, i explained that he supported medicaid expansion and what that meant for our state. I discovered that when people understand that medicaid is not medicare (most did not know the difference because they were LIV and working people too young to be worried about medicare), they did not support expansion. I urged those to call, email or write him.
Maybe they will wake up and help and maybe not, but I refuse to give up and sit around hand wringing and posting on Facebook. Or using an excuse that demonstrates total irresponsibility “ I do not get involved in politics”.
IBTZ!
Possible new home?
I’ll fight to the death, no matter that I believe the battle is lost.
That’s not fighting. That’s anonymously insulting people from afar with a keyboard.
That is inspiring, and I sincerely mean that, but what exactly are we supposed to do?
It’s hard to see a civil course of action when even the guys who say hey, I’m or your side, ain’t.
Ted Cruz 2017!!!!!
“what exactly are we supposed to do?”
Pick 6 top Boehner Lieutenants and run conservatives against them in the GENERAL election.
Not the primary, the general.
It’s that simple.
