Right you are, Neo, and that's why the Tea Party has lost support. Too many early participants have correctly observed that the war for America has escalated, and that peaceful rallies in the park, email campaigns, and GOTV efforts, are no longer effective against the rapidly solidifying totalitarianism we see occurring.
I said well over a year ago on this site, that the Tea Party needed to take the fight to the next level. We needed to be organizing and executing large and widespread civil disobedience events. Not violence, mind you, but organized and purposeful civil disobedience. There is a difference.
I said then, that we had precious little time in which to do this, as the game was rapidly changing, and that if we dragged our feet, the time would come where such acts would be ineffective. I think we've just about reached that point.
It's apparent that we're being frozen out of the political process by both parties. They've locked arms against us, and will do everything in their power to crush our dissent. They've also got plans afoot to replace us with tens of millions of newly documented Democrat voters, through amnesty.
Once that's passed, all hope for representation via the political process is gone for good. What little leverage we did have in the political arena will be gone in an instant.
The point is, we're not keeping up in this escalating war. We're being pounded to death by the enemy because we won't bring up the heavy artillery and roll out the bombers. We're being decimated by these people, yet most on our side are still yapping about elections and congressional coalitions. Excuse my French, but WTF,O?
I think the handwriting on the wall is abundantly clear. We've got to take drastic action, and on a (nearly) unprecedented scale to get back into the fight.
The TEA Party support has waned due to the Media and the opposition of our own party, the Republicans!
We have no party support for lower taxes or smaller Government as both parties support both. They are for control and big Government.
Not sure just how to proceed from here when both parties are against the public - does that mean a revolution to save the country?
If this continues for another few years, it will be unsalvageable. So...do Democrats win and the country loses or do the Republicans win and the country loses?
