I agree wholeheartedly.
Now, I ask you... where is OUR hope?
Politicians?
Media?
The American people?
The only one that I have a 'flicker' of hope... and the flicker is getting smaller everyday... The American people.
The American people need to do something. I have done what I can. I need the people behind me. Then I will have hope again.
I really wish I was wrong. I'm not just talking about the people on FR. I'm talking about the 75% of that poll that thinks amnesty is bogus. I'm talking about them actually doing something.
Again, I have tried.
Writing to the Congresscritters has been ineffective. FR and others like us, while making a BIG difference, is not enough. What now?
I want ideas. I want action. What now?
If they pass amnesty light (not), what hope is there for the Constitution, law and America?
I want hope. I just am not seeing any.
It does matter that you win. In the end all men die. It matters how you lived. I will not surrender to them.
Then you are simply refusing to see. 5 years ago NOTHING like this Doc Jvertias just translated would of seen the light of day. For the 1st time since 1932 The Conservatives are ONE seat from Controlling the US Supreme court, the US Congress and the Presidency ALL at the same time. ONE single heartbeat. I sorry but I lack the empathy to hold the hand of those who "lose hope" just because they do not get what they want.
Meet Mr Grim.
Tell me how you watched your best friend in the world take a sniper round thru his face. Talk to be about holding an 18 year old kid screaming for his mother while his life bleeds of the stumps that were his legs a minute ago before the Terrorist IDE blew up. Talk to me about losing hope on Flight 93 when the word came on your cell phone about the Twin Towers on 9-11. Those I might understand.
Sorry but I have no time or sympathy for those who weep about "losing hope" because they do not get 100% of what they want and 0% of what they don't want in politics. Life is compromise. Politics is no different. Deal with it.
I'm new here as far as being registered, lurked about a year. Don't have any answer to solve your questions.
Have been writing my elected people for 8 or 9 years with little and mostly no luck. This state is liberal and probably won't change real soon.
I'm going to keep doing it though. I thought I could probably do it better being here at FR. The very FReepers on this thread tonight are very inspiring people. The support is tremendous.
The time and effort that jveritas alone has put in is amazing. The doc tonight wasn't 2 hours translated and was being sent to talk shows, papers and I don't know where all.
I guess it's just going to be one small step at a time but I'm going to keep taking those steps and I think most everyone on this thread is going to do the same thing.
I'm not much of one to give pep talks but I guess that's what this is. IMO, the MSM isn't going to be able to ignore this forever and I want to see the looks on their faces when they have to start reporting. And I want to know that I might have had some little part of it.
