Do you really think an ad will accomplish anything? Does anyone think Hillary will be called to account for her words in a war zone? What about those two doofus Congressmen who did much the same in Afghanistan? What about Teddy The Swimmer saying this war was cooked up in Texas? What about Jay Rockefeller and Dick Durbin with their secretive and seditious Senate Intelligence Committee memo?

I'm at the point where it seems to me the only thing that will work is if we all gather with flaming torches held high on the steps of the Capitol and demand some heads roll via the ethics committees or else we'll do it for them. Can't do that, can we. America's a democratic republic. Hmmm. Okay, at least ask them to gather together and sing "God Bless America" like they did in the days following 9/11/01. Yeah. That'll make everything all better. harumph.

It's just so DARNED frustrating. I had to rant. :o)

You know, you just might be on to something .....

Maybe we can't demand that their heads roll but if 3 or 4 thousand (or 10,000 ... or whatever) show up on the Capitol steps demanding justice .... handing out flyers with the actual deeds/words of these criminals..... We might be able to get somebody's attention. The worst that could happen is nothing but maybe we can at least shut them the hell up!!

One of our local State Representatives told me that here (Indiana) 3 or 4 phone calls from constituents gets the antennas up at the state house and 10 to 12 means they have a problem on their hands (sad, isn't it).

If 10-12 people calling at the state level is a problem, 5,000 people on the Capitol steps with signs and anger for a couple of days has got to have an effect.

2 questions, is anybody up for this and if so, does anybody know how to go about organizing such a thing?

You are right. The only cure to me is actions such as you suggest. Most Americans are clueless, and that's just the way the mainstream media, the establishment owners, and the Democrat Party want it. Late at night like this (2:17 a.m. here) I get way too blunt. It really is time for some kind of a revolution, because the media is way too powerful, and although the internet, conservative talk radio, and some other venues are enlightening some of us, still a great majority of Americans are basically clueless (and I look at them with revulsion)!

As long as most Americans can rent their movies and get their pizza delivered, they could care less about learning anything important.

I'm 57 years old, and I think most of this disinterest on the part of Americans started when Kennedy got killed and they lied about it and continue to lie about it. Then King, then another Kennedy, then Nixon's deal, etc., etc. Americans don't believe their government any more and they have stopped listening and subsequently learning. I have watched our country become terribly jaded and very ignorant.

In concert with "The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America" by the public school system, Americans are mostly intellectually lazy sloths. So, a revolution of some sort seems the only answer, BUT, the people are too fat and comfortable, at least they THINK they are. So it's never going to happen. It's pretty sickening at this time on this morning!

Most of the lazy, relatively ignorant Americans deserve Hillary Clinton as their President.
