Ranting Anti-Opus to Cynics and Trolls (vanity)

Well said Blurblogger. I was talking to one of our local Souther Baptist "Hellfire and Brimstone" preachers a few days ago and venting about the war against the evil in our midst. Coincidentally, his reminder that this is not a battle against flesh and blood but against the evil one himself; that we cannot win this battle on our own, refocused my efforts.

Calling upon almighty God(and bashing a few liberal heads along the way), is the only way we can emerge triumphant.

There is a certain amount of pride in thinking we are strong enough to do battle against the minions of satan. I was caught up in it myself. When all I have to do is ask for His help. It lowers the frustration level and reduces the blood pressure also ;^)

It also guarantees us a win.

A message worthy of repeating to certain people who shall remain nameless. We are all in this together, folks! Dividing ourselves into Constitution Party and regular GOP factions is what THEY want.

"And I too am FURIOUS that you left my name off this distinguished list :)"

You are one of the virtual 50,000! Welcome to the front lines!

[Dad yer funny]

don't worry folks , there is much in store for ChiaJoe BinBiden and Sir Edmund Hillary Clinton ,... we stay focused

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

If we forget the spiritual aspect, we will be blindsided and surely defeated. That's why the evildoers don't want prayer or Bibles in schools and are trying to remove the Ten Commandments from public awareness.

We must stand them down, by God! Amen.

[afnamvet]

Good rant Blur. Pissed off? Mad as Hell? Yep.

In my garage, over my workbench, hangs a copy of The Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Below them is my Bible. I read my Bible first then The Bill of Rights and finally The Constitution. Nothing else matters. I will defend all three unto death.

Stay strong and stay prepared.

[Fudd Fan]

I too am FURIOUS. So is Doug from Upland, Jim Robinson, Pukin Dog, Lazamataz, Southack, Mia T, JohnHuang2, Hole_N_One, Congressman BillyBob, Yaelle, 68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub, Petronski, B4its2late, Charlite, Peach, Onyx, Prairiebreeze, Mo1, Kcvl, Kristinn and the list here could go on for probably FIFTY THOUSAND more.
I'm furious too? OK, if you say so! LOL. Well done, blur.

you forgot me *sob*

[Fudd Fan]

You beat me to that, Dr.Hilarious

[Fudd Fan]

Indeed so... that hairpiece is evil.

Let's pull together here and play as a team. We are to pray for our leaders, are we doing that? We are to humble ourselves, are we doing that? And we are to be as wise as serpents and yet as innocent as doves. Beefing here doesn't change the minds and hearts of your uninformed neighbors who voted for Kerry, deceived into empowering the Democrats to nip at our heels as we march forward in the war for America's heart, mind, soul and future. YOU are the person best able to convince people you know--of the truth. Get the news out, don't just be an info-sponge, SHARE the news with others!

Now let's get back to more productive types of FReeping, Okay?

Well said, BB. I agree with you.

[GOP_1900AD]

I keep thinking back to all those RINOs and big tent liberals who we saw opuses from back a month or so ago. I wonder if they are having fun over at DU - GO NUCLEAR BABY!

[GOP_1900AD]

In my book MFN has always been a typical RINO position. For cryin' out loud, MFN for the Commies was a Clintoon program!

[GOP_1900AD]

As I was telling him or her, MFN for the Commies is classic RINO. Ripped off from Slick. Can't get more RINO than that! - LOL.

[reformedliberal]

OK, but how do we do that?

No one listens. I return the fundraising letter w/the cheesy gold cards and the pathetic address labels w/o adding a stamp and with "Not A Dime...." printed at the top of all the enclosed sheets. I get more cheesy fundraising appeals. I rant at the phone callers and have rattled several of them, but they gamely finish their spiel and call again the following the week.

I am not going to vote third party. I am not going to sit home and cede this country to the donks. The RNC sabotages conservative candidates in my state (WI) and I am stuck w/Finegold, Kohl and Kind. The GOP still has more $$ than the donks, so my donations aren't missed. My local party is not ever going to do much beyond have luncheons and maybe support our state candidates....sometimes, if it doesn't interfere w/golf and luncheons and dinners and giving themselves awards.

I am angry, but I am also dispirited. I worked my butt off last year. Everyone I know feels the same way. Judges. The border. The donks. What in hades is wrong with the GOP? What are they thinking? Are they thinking? Is there anyone here who has some insider skinny who can clue me in? I have seen W and Rove skunk the world when they have to, but I'll be damned if I can see the strategery this time. I find myself looking askance at "our team" and wondering if I have just been snookered again by some slick elites who put some grand scheme way ahead of America and could care less about any of us.

So, count me as one of the virtual 50,000 who has a business to run and a life to live and just can't quite get a handle on how I am supposed to effect change in what feels like political quicksand. But I know my business, my life and my country are all at risk right now and under the fury, I am frightened.

Given my druthers, I would like to effect a takeover of the GOP by strong fighting conservatives. But, I also don't see many people in the leadership of this party who could change a thing. Nor do I see any who give any indication of wanting to do so.

Have you tried getting involved in the Republican party? In most areas people have to be begged to become precinct chairmen.

I used to recruit county chairmen in a twenty county district. It took several years to find someone willing to serve as Republican County Chairman in a couple counties.

But when a person calls a Congressman or Senator and says "I'm the Republican county chairman of ____ county, and I need to talk to the Congressman", he doesn't simply get shifted to some teenage intern.

When a person writes a letter on letterhead that reads "CHAIRMAN, REPUBLICAN PARTY OF _____ COUNTY", he gets more than a form letter reply.

The downside? There's lots of work recruiting and training precinct chairmen, writing press releases, giving interviews, arraigning local appearances for state-wide candidates, recruiting people to run for county offices.....

It's a lot easier just to sit and complain about "those Republicans."

RANTastic!

[reformedliberal]

Yeah, I have. I was County Chair for BC04 last year. I was recruited because no one else would take the job.

Stationary? I got no stationary. Critters? Mine are all donks. Volunteers? I ended up with a handful of kids while the local Party apparatchiks were having their various luncheons and dinners and complaining they had no money and were too busy to hold a fundraiser. The one interaction I had with the guys at the top was to try and get the advance man for W to smooth the feathers he ruffled of my one and only big money donor after he was promised a personal visit, got about 50 folks together to greet the POTUS and then no one showed up and no one said a word until 48 hours after I exploded at the pro.

The GOP is ineffectual from the ground up. I begged for an organizer on the ground for months....make that about 18 months. I got the crisis team 2 days before the election and all they wanted were phone callers when no one wanted to call or be called one more fricking time. Our County Party Chair was way too busy backing Tancredo to work for W. The folks who took on the responsibility for Michels were MIA.

BTW, I run 2 businesses. The majority of the GOP honchos are retired, independantly wealthy or married women with grown kids who do not work. Most who reluctantly agreed to do one thing, screwed it up.

DAMN you can write, Blur, and with great focus, conviction and sage assessment. So very well said. I'M IN.
