No I don’t have any helpful ideas that is why I asked about the “rebel” comment, I’m interested to find out what else is out there, why don’t you ask Jim, he’s the one who said FR is going to rebel, I’m just trying to find out how.

The only thing that changes politicians is political fear, and political fear can only be generated with numbers, highly visible numbers. We’re talking 1,000,000 people showing up at the same time for a specific purpose. The Tea Parties made us feel better, like we were at least trying to do something, but it’s now fading as the news cycles progress...magritte

I don’t need to ask JR where he stands. He’s made it perfectly clear. You haven’t. So I’m asking questions to find out where you stand. You appear to disagree with the conservative ideals being pushed here, but it’s hard to be sure.

I assume, and Jim can correct me if I'm wrong, that Jim intends to rebel (this is used as a verb here) against the RINOs and if necessary the entire GOP who are attempting to redefine conservatism as meaning something totally contrary to conservatism and in the process finalize the transformation of the GOP into a clone of the Democrat Party.

As far as "what else is out there", we don't need anything else, genuine conservatism succeeds every time it's tried (Goldwater DID NOT run as a genuine conservative in 1964, he ran as a pro-defense, fiscal conservative). "What else is out there" is what the GOP tried in 1988, 1992, 1996, 2008 and to a degree in 2000 and 2004, it has occasional fleeting success, but is generally a dismal (and very expensive) failure.

I didn't read it that way...FR is going to rebel

You gotta be independent - do what you need to do. Teach someone daily what conservatism is, freep on your own. Make it a lifestyle, not one event.
