Your solution .. ?
“Your solution .. ?”
______________________________________________
The dogs have no solution. All they can do is bark.
One is particularly fond of saying that he is there to “FIGHT”, but has yet to explain what fight means.
Fighting is for defending against a foreign invasion.
Fighting your fellow citizens, civil war, was not pretty the last time it was used, and barking at us expats means nothing.
While I am a very devoted American, as seen by my active participation on FR for the last 15 years, It is my right to avoid the Obamination, and the cost that one bares in living there. There is nothing anyone can do, other then vote. Barking is only counterproductive.
I will continue my right to live a non-socialist life wherever I choose.
First, we talk to people, and quit running away from confrontations. There are folks out there who would like to be conservative and patriotic, but are so cowed by the mainstream Obammunist lickspittle media -- news and entertainment -- that they go along to get along. I know. That was me for a short while back in the Klinton days, before I discovered my b*lls. Talk to people. Get into public arguments with Lefties, 'cause there are people watching who will listen to what you're saying, even if they're just passive bystanders. Do your homework, come up with good arguments, figure out how to handle their "rebuttals", then let 'em have it.
Two: start attending your local Tea Party meetings. If they're a bunch of ineffectual lazy-a** sissies who only want to pretend they're doing something, take over. If you can't take over, start your own Tea Party group, and recruit members away from the do-nothings. Go on Facebook and start your own TP group page. Go on WordPress and start your own TP group website. Advertise the hell out of it.
Once you get your group up, running and pi**ed off, get them out in the streets. Being loud and visible is what created the Tea Party, and it was only when they (we) got scared of being called racists and went underground that they lost momentum. The Tea Party is mainstream America, despite what the lickspittle media say about us. Lots of those bystanders who watch but don't jump in right away know that, and are only looking for an excuse to join you/us. Give them that excuse.
Next, RUN FOR OFFICE! A good campaign, combining social media and good old fashioned shoe leather can get you elected to the city clowncil or county commission. Start locally, and work from there. Stay true to the principles that got you elected, and never forget the people who put you in office. Keep them posted on everything you're doing, and never miss an opportunity to swing a wavering would-be conservative to your side.
Become a conservative/patriotic community organizer. Print flyers, and go door to door. Solicit donations to keep yourself in business. Talk with and find candidates that you can support, then convince your neighborhood/district to support them, too. If you can't find anyone, refer to my last suggestion. Once they're elected to office, make sure you and all the people you lobbied hold that politician's feet to the fire.
Too many people think we need to start at the top, when we need to look locally first. Remember the 2000 elections...it was local elections board liberals in Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties that almost made Algore president.
We need honest, conservative people who will follow the rules and get an honest tally, regardless of the outcome, in these positions. We need conservatives on county commissions and city clowncils, to keep taxes low, and to hold our state legislators' feet to the fire. We need state legislators who have the guts to stand up to DC and tell them, "hell no, we ain't enforcing your unconstitutional gun laws (Obamacare laws, immigration laws, whatever).
There are many things we can do, and need to do, before rounds start going downrange. But we need to get busy doing them, instead of throwing up our hands and biding our time until Claire Wolfe's alarm clock goes off. Yeah, there are times when I think nothing can be done, then I get hold of myself and kick my own a**. Maybe the worst case nightmare is a foregone conclusion, but when I go to my Maker, I want to be able to tell Him I did everything I could before opting for the last resort.
And yes, I'm working on a plan to implement most of what I just outlined, so my money (literally) is where my mouth is. I'm only one guy, in one district, in one town. Now, what if we all got motivated and did the same thing in our own neighborhoods and towns? Wouldn't that be better than just immediately jumping from square 1 to square 20? Speak up, speak out, do something!
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
