I gotta agree. These are not people acting as if they plan to face another election.

Democrats should be asking themselves, who stands between THEM and the pitchforks?

[screaminsunshine]

One if by land
Two if by sea
Three if by Government

Three Lanterns

Ugh. I was hoping someone could see a flaw in my argument.

Beauteous.

[Just A Nobody]

BTTT!

I agreed with your first essay and I completely agree with this one. Too bad no one seems to be listening.

” Democrats should be asking themselves, who stands between THEM and the pitchforks? “

Broaden that to ‘The Elected Elites should be asking themselves...’

This needs to grow beyond Parties and Partisanship - the System, itself, is what’s broken, no matter who nominally holds the tiller....

Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
No, no

LOL! Of course they do not plan on facing another election! Certainly not a "free and fair" type nor the phony fraud type election they pulled off last year.
Why? One word -- ACORN!

WAKE UP AMERICA!

"These are not people acting as if they plan to face another election"

I said on Nov 5 that zero will be the last president that the United States of America elects. Interprt my statement any way you want to. Will zero suspend the Constitution and rule as dictator or will the conservative states secede and go their way? Its going to be a very bumpy ride either way....red

Funny you should use those lyrics. When the “Who” played Woodstock, Abbie Hoffman, thinking it was a “political” event, jumped on stage and grabbed the microphone to harangue the crowd. Pete Townshend took off his guitar and smashed him over the head. They carried Hoffman off the stage as Townshend raged, “Get off my f-ing stage!”

[LS]

Ok, but other than shouting “Wake up America,” exactly what action do you see taking place? That was sort of the purpose of the post. The people have “woken up,” but woken up to what?

[Just A Nobody]

who stands between THEM and the pitchforks?

Don't be silly. Americans do not have the guts to confront them, let alone with pitchforks. Making phone calls and writing letters from the comfort of the couch in their own homes is not confronting anyone.

If we see a MILLION in DC on September 12th, I will be happy to offer my apology to the American people.

[maine yankee]

9/11 in DC.

Block every street into and out of the Capital complex.

Don’t bother with the white house.

Perhaps a pelosi sit in.

Any other ideas ?

Elections?

You mean like back in the days when America still had a Constitution?

[ishabibble]

I don’t think you are wrong. We are witnessing the Gathering Storm.

[MSSC6644]

I’ve been thinking a lot of the same thoughts. I doubt that there will even be an election in 2010, and even if there is, it won’t be a fair one. Therefore, it won’t be an election.

Do you believe that we should continue to show up at speaking events, that we should continue to protest and ask questions. What are our choices now?

I’m not sure. My dad fought this fight from the 50’s until he died in February. But he did it quietly, from behind the scenes with financial support and trying to educate those around him. The fact that some of his children and grandchildren helped elect Obama helped kill him early. I’m convinced of that.

I’m trying to get others to join me at the only “event” held by our Representative, but so far I have more “can’t make it” than “I’ll be there” responses. I don’t know what else to do, but to continue to pray.

[LS]

I agree, I'd be surprised to see that many, but on the other hand, 10 million won't make a difference. The state-run media will say 10,000 showed up; no one will be there to talk to the crowds; Obama will be out of town conveniently. And our history of an ABSENCE of military coups means that the military is likely to remain loyal to the government until it's too late.

What amazes me most is that this is all happening right before our very eyes - we are living it - who would have ever thought this could happen in America? Furthermore - what does this say to our enemies - the dictators - around the world. I bet their laughing their asses off at us.

I have to wonder at what point do we all say to hell with work for a day and take to the streets in protest? How is it the Mexican American movement can gather every “Cinco De Mayo” in large groups and such and we can’t? I know, I know, because we value hard work and providing for our families - however, we must come to a point where enough is enough.
