I wonder about the efficacy of this protest. The elites aren’t going to notice or be affected by this, but a whole lot of regular folks will, and I don’t think they’ll be very understanding of the message being put out this way. JMHO
I agree. This just pisses off regular citizens that are trying to go about their daily business. Now if the truckers blocked the driveways of certain congressman and senators, that would be effective.
“The elites aren’t going to notice or be affected by this, but a whole lot of regular folks will, and I don’t think they’ll be very understanding”
The same way they are when liberal SEIU rent-a-mobs tie up traffic??
These people live inn the government-dependent DC bubble, and they need to know, and understand, just how pi***d off the heartland is.
I think there are a lot of regular folks who are sick of the people having no way to stop the “business as usual”. People were coming out in droves to the townhall meetings when Obamacare was being considered - until the Tucson shooting gave the Congress-critters an excuse to call off the town meetings. And then there was the million-plus rally in DC on tax day, but those kinds of shows of support were quashed by the IRS harassment of the Tea Party groups. We’ve burned down the phone and fax lines at the Capitol. We’ve done everything we were supposed to do, and what we get in turn is Obama and the whole system pissing in our faces (”making it hurt”), and even worse, dishonoring the families of our heroes killed in the line of duty defending this nation.
The thing I would fear or hate more than anything at this point is “business as usual”. If I had to come in late to work because I absolutely could not get there because there were people blocking the way with American and Gadsden flags in order to disrupt “business as usual”, I would cheer loudly. There’s no way my employer could give me grief because the circumstances were beyond my control, and if I’m going to be stuck in traffic, I would be glad to be surrounded by people DEFYING the normal brain-dead runaround of “business as usual” and instead raising a huge red flag in protest of the total takeover of this country by the foreign enemy combatant occupying our White House and his communist-Islamist allies who put him there and who he has installed at every level of government, controlling every aspect of American life.
And if the resistance could target any one group, the group it should target is the news media. If we’re going to block driveways it should be the driveways of all the media outlets, because none of this crap would be possible if the media wasn’t providing -ahem - mouth service to the foreign enemy combatant who is “radically transforming” this nation from the Constitutional Republic it has always been into a third-world dictatorship.
The media needs to be next. They are the root cause of all this crap, and we need to let them know that we know it. All of us.
Agreed.
