bfl? Sorry Excellence, I know I need to brush up on my acronyms.
I agree. That is why I think this article presents some good ideas about creating the right kind of tool. I believe our ranks are viable enough for meaningful action; we just do not have the right tool.
What we need to do is march on Washington DC on July 4th in the 100’s of thousands and then they have to listen to us
I think that is because our virtue disallows the use of taxpayer dollars to make such events successful. Remember the Million Mom March? I attended the countermarch put on by the Second Amendment Sisters, but made my way over to enemy territory to get a first-hand look. They had about 75,000 people there (though they lied on national TV news and said they had 750,000...puke), but they were all bused in by non-profit lefties. Much of the money they received was from "education" grants from the federal government, no thanks to Hillary and her ilk.
As an aside, a compadre here at FreeRepublic and I managed to ruin the last ten minutes of Rosie O'Donnell speech by just being there. Within a 30 minute time frame, we were heckled, chanted, and yelled at; had water thrown on us; I was spit on; I was slapped by one woman and punched twice by some squirmy little man; and the crowd intentionally compressed us in so hard, we could not make any more forward progress toward the stage where the REAL radical lefties were. We saw plenty of signs with guns in the red circle with a slash through it, but only two American flags, and one of those was disrespectfully displayed.
This is the same crowd we have in office now. Wolves in sheeps clothing.
Dang, I digressed so much, I almost forgot my original thought: While I believe marches are a waste of time and resources, if we were successful to get a few hundred thousand on the mall, we should make a bum rush on capital hill and literally flood the halls of Congress, pushing the security officers aside. Squeeze in all those elitist lobbyists just like the MMM crowd did my friend and me. No violence, but just a good old fashion squeezing.
bump for later.
Ahhhh, thanks. Learn something new every day.
