“Red States have to form a “Red State Union”- support and consolidate and rip the power from DC- because Moscow on the Potomac is never going to give it up. “

You’re absolutely correct. Conservatives need a political base to fight back. Consolidating red states to form a political block is one good idea. Also taking back local government from liberals is another necessity. But all these ideas will fall dead to the ground. For some reason, conservatives are not interested in building a movement from the ground up. Go to a local meeting of the town council and you’ll find a half-dozen drooling Marxists in the crowd but no conservatives.

Why conservatives focus so hard on Washington DC rather than their own backyard drives me up a wall. Conservatives are simply not interested in running local governments. Until we build and maintain a political base, starting in our backyards, we face years in the wilderness.

All you need do is study our own revolution and it will become apparent what must be done - the head (federal government) cannot function without the co-operation of the body (local government).

.......Conservatives are simply not interested in running local governments......

Actually, conservatives simply are not interested. They are complacent and apathetic and perhaps even lazy. They don’t pay attention until they feel the wind of the ax falling. They have been warned over and over and over and just don’t give a damn.
