"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results"

How many DC rallies are you going to hold, have them sparsely attended and then run back to FR to whack people over the head for not showing up? Expecting huge turnouts for conservative rallies in DC is not working, hasn't worked and probably won't ever work. Hundreds of activist FReepers understood this over five years ago and here you are in 2007 pushing the same shtick. FR had dozens of committed people and the vehicle to organize rallies all over the country and you and your friends helped kill it. For you to now complain that activism is dead on FR is unbelievably ironic.

Maybe it's not FReepers or conservatives in general, maybe it's you. Salvation lies within my friend.

Read your "About" page and was impressed. Thanks for what you are doing.

But I believe you are wrong here. It can be understood why in the past, when both houses and the presidency were held by Pubs, FReepers were complacent.

But now that the President is standing alone, the anti-American groups are emboldened. Now more than before, FR and others need to really show their colors and support our troops. A Virginia senator claims that this particular march shows that the Vietnam era protests and probable results because of them are going to repeat themselves. Now that is scary.

I disagree with your comment, that FR has "committed people and the vehicle to organize rallies all over the country and you and your friends helped kill it". From the comments on this thread, Kristinn seems to have lit a fire under a lot of FReepers. If they can't make it to D.C., they will heed calls in their areas.

And we have started planning differently for the March 17 Troop Support Rally to get better results.
