“We could fix the nation using the First Amendment if we’d just do it.”

I agree. The massive Tea Party rallies of several years back, were the best response to fedzilla that middle America has ever produced.

Had those rallies continued to grow in frequency, number, and size, Obama would have been a one term president, and we’d now have a very different Congress. Most of the horrors that have risen out of that man’s maladministration would never have come to pass.

The proof of how effective that 1st Amendment movement was, is in how the Obama regime responded to it. They used the power of the federal government to suppress it out of existence.

I can remember when the big rallies began to peter out. It was at the precise moment that they should have been increasing. I knew in my gut, at that time, that something terrible had happened. The people hadn’t lost their fervor. Millions had already ‘gotten off the couch’. So how did it all fall apart so suddenly?

The movement was murdered, with malice aforethought, by the regime in power and their fellow travelers in the establishment.

Yes, they silenced our collective voice, but all they accomplished was a temporary return to business as usual. They did nothing to address the grievances of tens of millions of citizens. Worse, they actually doubled down on the very policies which created the grievances in the first place. Even at this late date, they continue to pour salt in our wounds and seem determined to cement a final, and terminal lock on their unconstitutional power over the people.

At this moment, the people are showing up in the tens of thousands to show their support for a man whom they’ve invested all of their hopes in, to be that person who can take the helm in Washington, and reverse all of the destructive policies that have brought us to our knees.

If The Powers That Be refuse to allow our civil mechanisms to function as designed, and use their influence and power to deny the people of the choice at the ballot box, there WILL be repercussions, and they’ll be much more dramatic than peaceful rallies in the park.

I'll tell you exactly how the movement petered out, brother Dawg. It was a combination of the lame stream media playing the race card, and the success of the 2010 elections. On one hand, nothing scares conservatives like the R-word, and when the spitting non-incident happened at the C(r)apitol steps, too many TPers got scared because they were being called racists.

Then, as we always seem to do after a huge victory, we simply went to sleep after the butt whuppin' the 'Rats took in 2010. We always do it. We assume the Left has learned its lesson, and we can go back to our golf game and stock portfolio. Nothing is further from the truth...Leftists are like ants, always plotting, always scheming, always working for victory. We're stupid, lazy and cowardly, and go back to sleep after each big win.

2009 and 2010 gave me some hope that our Republic might have a chance, but since then, it's been back to long, slow, painful death spiral.

BTW, did you feel the quake this morning?

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho! God Bless Texas!
