Hate to be blunt but how much is your country worth?

Is there an acid test here now or something? I suspect there will be a pretty good crowd as is. I appreciate your fervor tho.

Ok maybe I was being an asshole, apologize for that.

But I have personally covered as a journalist, nearly every single major Bay Area demonstration starting with the big one in San Fran immediately before and then after the commencement of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

I NEVER saw more than a handful of counter protesters, the ratio between lefties and people like us was at least 75 to 1.

This is a major problem for our side and to assume that lots of people will show up at this little college out in the middle of nowhere is not necessarily accurate.

It has come down to how much pain a group can inflict upon the status quo in order to bring about an address of grievances.

When IM lefties demonstrate in support of something and hit the streets politicians take notice, hell they are afraid of the repercussions for pissing off a large group of constituents.

So as long as we make excuses, and again I did not say you personally were doing that, and don’t put our asses on the line at least a little bit then we will continue to see what has happened continue to happen.

The left has out spent us, out organized us, out gutted us, out strategized us and generally kicked our asses.

I am tired of that, and I think you are too.

Hope this clarifies it, was not trying to be like I apparently came off, my bad.
