Dear Mr Long-lens,

Tough crowd, huh? Assuming your frustration is sincere, I understand. As there are many just as concerned on this forum, there are just as many who are wary of anyone even slightly advocating something nefarious - even if that’s not the intent. There are also some on this forum who - either deliberately or by force of habit will take offense, and then the flame wars start; many times poisoning what could be a healthy discussion on matters.

With that said, some of the frustration among many is that as there is anger, few solutions are actually proposed. And in many cases, proposed solutions are often ridiculed or ignored - even though they may be completely lawful. But fighting back requires action of some type. And I suspect part of your frustration is that you consumed media that has turned jinning up anger into an industry, and as a result you’re reaching out to anyone who can relate to your rage.

You are correct - we’re at war, but that doesn’t mean grabbing a rifle and storming the Bastille. By the same token, we cannot merely vote our way out of this either. When it comes to voting, it takes getting involved in the process, ballot inspecting, as an observer etc. Others are getting into homesteading, homeschooling and other actions that make them more self-sufficient; these are just a few examples.. This is part of that ‘war’ we speak of; that second civil war many are still waiting for.

I have written several articles that I consider solution-based or action-oriented articles. I’ll point to one. Take a good read, then follow the links at the bottom. Then look for other articles like these from others.

Hope that helps, and let me know what you think.

Thanks for your time.

First and most important I salute your insight and inspiration. Though I don’t fully concur with your MO I find it heartening to hear people on our side flexing their intellects and their decency. You make some excellent points. But (you are correct about frustration) I have grown soul-weary with the ineptitude on our side. Talk about circular firing squads. It is discouraging to read many of the replies to my simple, obvious Beale-ian appeal for action. There is nothing remotely nefarious there as far as I can see. Pogo strikes again. About 20 years ago I took up the charge against the odious John Kerry and the Washington Post on this FR forum (”Post Mortem”, it is still there I see). The Swift Boat Veterans for Truth are a timeless model for us. We would do well to find another John O’Neill my personal hero. THAT’S the kind of energy I am talking about. PS, it worked.
