To: little jeremiah; the scotsman
Just to be clear, "the scotsman" did not say America was finished, he was pointing out that the UK was not finished any more than American is not finished.

I hope you are correct lj and more people wake the heck up. I have to deal with libs every day and they are convinced that the only problem with our country is Republicans standing in the way of progress. Needless to say the rest of us are going to have to stand and fight without them.

To: palmer; the scotsman

The scotsman’s actual POV is clear by reading a page or two of his comments. But his POV doesn’t interest me since he’s not in the US and doesn’t vote here nor can he influence people here for good or ill. I copied his comment since it led into yours; which does interest me since you live here and can influence others.

Here’s my strongly held POV, reposting from another thread [the discussion was about defeatism/it’s hopeless/over]:

If everyone who knows what the general “we” on FR know, does whatever they can do to spread not just the information but the courage and principles that are the real foundation our Constitutioanl Republic, the benefit is great. I also initiate converstaions here and there when out and about, and 9 times out of 10, people are happy to hear someone speaking up about “controversial” topics - I think a lot more people are conservative or open to these principles than a lot of us realize.

I’ve bought a few sets of Enemies Foreign and Domestic - gave one set to my County SHeriff. One set is loaned out right now. I write letters to the editor when they’ll accept them and generally don’t hold back. In fact, I’ve seen the next week’s newspaper (I live in a valley with 17,000 population and a weekly newspaper) with letters praising the last letter I wrote - getting the message out there however you can does good work. I don’t do FB or twitter but people who do can spread the message (and the fighting spirit) that way.

WHat else can a tiny citizen do? I have no $ and contacting Congressmen - I tried, and have 2 Dem Senators.

I email articles out to people. People with many relatives can encourage and inform their extended families. Keep in mind that when one other person gets convinced and encouraged, they will do the same reaching out to many people they know.

I’ve been to 3 public meetings with our County Sheriff and I’m not afraid to ask questions - in fact I almost made a nuisance of myself at the last one. People are are getting very angry at the abuses of not just the fedgov but our rotten commie stateguv and even our county commisioners are a little gang of small times crooks. People just need to get riled up enough, informed, and we’re on our way out of this mess.
