Dear Cacique:

No disrespect intended, but I find I can't keep my mouth shut after seeing this thread.

When will our side realize that we don't do public demonstrations? Such events are the domain of the left and they will always be the domain of the left. Nixon was correct when he referred to us as the silent majority.Conservatives simply wont do street demonstrations.

IMHO, we should concentrate on what we do best.

What is that you ask?

1) We own talk radio. Radio FR has been launched, but I'd bet only a fraction of the registered members of the FR even know it exists.

2)We own the 'net. We are effective communicators. We can mobilize writing and calling campaigns far better than the left.

I could go on, but I suggest we dump what isn't successful and concentrate on what we do well....

We can't allow the Left to own the streets. We don't have to have as many people on the streets, we work for a living after all, but we need to be out there. The Florida post-election situation is a case in point. The Left was seen to be bussing their people in, while our folks were local. There were so many Mighty Righties on the street that the Left had to make up absurd conspiracy theories and accuse our guys of rioting.

Almost every article on the pro-terrorist supporters included a paragraph on the Patriot's Rally. That was worth it. We have to have a presence and with practice, we'll get better at it. Kristinn would NOT have been on C-SPAN without the rally.

re: post 32

Uh, no. There is a need for public demonstrations. His Slickness would not have been impeached w/o Free Republic's March for Justice, and Judgement Day rallies.

Part of the purpose of these demonstrations is outreach and education.

Keyboard patriotism is not enough.
