“If you want a violent overthrow of the government of the United States...”

I never said that.

My problem is not with you personally.

It is with the right and their willingness to sit back and convince themselves that there is nothing they can do.

Look at the effect the townhall meetings have had. They were a great example of what I’m talking about. We have to raise the level of discomfort for these people.

My problem is with the right taking the losing ‘high road’ when we are dealing with the hard left.

How many times did I hear “Obama won’t be that bad, Boucheau”, or “He won’t be able to socialize THIS country.”

Well, it indeed is happening. I’m no prophet, but I’ve studied how countries fall to the left, I was raised around Russian defectors who taught me a lot about the very powerful left.

Only now I’m hearing “It’s inevitable, they are going to pass it.”, “Don’t worry, we can overturn it later.”

Bunk!

Right now we sit in silent desperation while the pols have their way with us.

This is un-American and very dangerous. More dangerous than spirited civil unrest.

We must make noise and keep up the pressure or they will roll over us—and we won’t ever be the same.

Most Americans don’t understand the subtleties of socialism and how it all works. They somehow believe they are above falling victim to it.

My message is that they are no different than humans anywhere. The ideas that form our laws is what makes us different, that’s all.

These ideas are under assault by the hard left.

Only more excuses as to why it would be better to play nice, ‘wait and see’, don’t rock the boat, etc.

Self-defense is a God-given right.

Americans are not defending themselves adequately right now.

They will suffer greatly for it later, I’m afraid.

That’s my problem. It’s nothing personal.

And, of course, I thank you for your service.

Where are you hearing that from? The reality is that the Dems have the votes to pass anything they want. They don't need a single Rep vote. And we know that they will pass something because Obama's presidency is on the line along with the Democrat Party's credibility with its base. You can deny that or wring your hands and stomp your feet. Or you can deal with whatever comes out of Congress and the WH and combat it the best way we can.

We must make noise and keep up the pressure or they will roll over us—and we won’t ever be the same.

I am, are you? I am going to several townhalls over the next week. I will be participating in the March on Washington Sept 10-12 along with my grassroots immigration group and as part of the FR participation. What exactly are you doing for God and country on this issue to keep up the pressure and make noise?

09/12/2009 March On Washington

I get this challenge a lot here on FR despite being around for a long, long time and having answered this question ‘till I’m blue in the fingers.

I’m not going to answer it again. If you want to know read through my posts.

Suffice it to say that I help lead an organization that is heavily engaged in ‘cyber-influence’ and subversion of the left, RINO’s, and other assorted unmentionables.

No, specifically what are you going to do on this particular issue. Are you participating in tea parties and townhalls? Are you active politically? Will you be participating in the March on Washington?

Working in cyberspace is not enough. You have to be on the ground making noise and being visible.

“Working in cyberspace is not enough.”

Says you.

I’ve been standing side-by-side with FReepers at varius events, protests, etc., since ‘99. Not to mention all of the other organizations and officials that I’ve worked with/for.

I’m not going to provide you with a resume unless you plan on hiring me or my company.

Playing secret squirrel? Look, you have been going on and on with this handwringing rant about how much is at stake and what needs to be done. You refuse to answer whether you are going to participate in townhall meetings, tea parties, or the March on Washington. You have lost all credibility. All hat and no cattle.

I hope the basturds force this thru!

This will destroy the democrats for decades if not forever.

They are severly misreading the American people.
