Not only is there no FReeper equivalent, there is no conservative equivalent.

The moonbats are better organized, better financed and most are willing to make partnerships with groups they don't like or get along with because they know they will get some juice out of it in terms of exposure, donations and face time. Too many conservative groups are too concerned with turf and protecting their standard of living, i.e. email lists and donor lines, to do anything more than nod at each other once in a while.

The other sad fact is you just can't get conservatives out in the streets in force unless the situation is dire. It's not a character flaw, as one of my mentors says "conservatives just want to be left alone". Libs on the other hand want to control the world. Guess who is going to win?

The next fact, and it may be the most important, the left has almost the entire media in their pockets. The propaganda juggernaut...to tell the stories as they want them to appear and to highlight the ones they want people to see, is far to much an advantage to consistently overcome.

Sometimes I wonder how we ever get anybody elected. I guess it's because most Americans over 30 are basically conservative and if given the chance to make a decision unencumbered by the avalanche of mind control put out by the left, they go our way.

Want to change the way things are? Start with the media. It is the lifeblood of liberalism and mothers milk of every left wing whacko.

Oklahoma City is within a six-hour drive from hordes of Freepers in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and Arkansas. It's within a 12-14 hour drive from even more, including me. My wife and I could leave here before dawn on Saturday, attend a late Saturday afternoon rally in OKC, get a motel room and drive back Sunday. Tens of thousands of other Freepers and conservatives would be able to do the same.

Take a page from the left-wing moonbats' playbook and ally ourselves with other groups such as VFW, American Legion and ... oh duh ... the Republican Party and other allied organizations like Young Republicans.

It would be difficult for the left-wing moonbats to organize an effective counter-protest for exactly the same reason that it's difficult for us to organize an effective counter-protest in DC: OKC is close to a lot of Freepers, but too far away from too many left-wing moonbats.

OKC has the added advantage of milder winter weather than some other venues I could suggest. There's a memorial there to the victims of the Murrah Building bomber. I'm sure that we could rally there; the speakers could weave that thread into "the need to fight terrorism wherever we find it."

One thing I know for sure: we could get one helluva lot more than 40 people there, and you know it.
