Just what is “raw power”, Wpin?
From another thread yesterday:
I said:
“What we need is to start having ‘TEA Parties with an Attitude’. No violence, just get a little louder.”
Your response:
“That will do a lot of good, it is time for civil disobedience. We can no longer act like sheep to these tyrants. You don’t get it do you? They do not give a flying f*&# what you think. They only understand power...raw power.”
Raw power could be defined, in the sense I am using it, as a powerful show of force, while non-violent clear in it’s commitment to it’s cause in that violence will be used before subjecting ourselves to their tyranny. Hence, simple protesting as we have done I do not think will change their actions. Shutting down the capitol for a week by not allowing them to get into the building would probably spark them a bit. There would be arrests made, many...but that is not the end of the world. A national strike where we do not contribute to the economy either by working or buying would really get their attention big time.
That is the level of activism needed...the “raw power” to perhaps have an affect on these tyrants. Just to hold them off until we could run them out of washington and education, unions, legal system etc.
