I noticed in one of your posts, you're concerned Obie is manipulating the masses, but Rush isn't even trying to do so.
Being LDS, I guess my POV is a little different. A major point of LDS Church's doctrine is the principle of Free Agency. We can choose what we do, but not the results. A corillary is manipulating others is an offense against God. If we work in harmony w/God, he will help "fence-sitters" to understand the nature & seriousness of Obie's threat to Liberty.
I think what we need to do is for each & everyone of us to learn absolutely everything we can about: the Founding Fathers, the Founding of our Republic, how it was meant to work,who damaged it (ex. Wilson, FDR, etc), how it was damaged, why self-responsibility is imporant undr governmnt,why governmnt likes uneducated voters, etc.
This used to be taught in public schools,(watered-down). It isn't being taught at all now.
BTW: A great starting point for learning all this is "Five Thousand Year Leap; Principles of Freedom 101" by W. Cleon Skousen.
Armed w/all this knowledge, each of us must teach his neighbor, as much as they'll let us. It'll probably only be a few words dropped here & there to begin -but once we start to whet people's thirst for knowledge of Liberty they'll want more & more. There is a drought of knowledge of Liberty, & Rats like Obie have tried to poison the roots of what is still remembered by mischaracterizing our Country's origins, roots, & icons. Its proving very hard for them, but until now they've had no opposition.
Once the electorate knows the Foundations of Liberty, it doesn't matter what Obie & friends do. It will be seen for what it is.
That's why I'm glad Rush isn't using manipulation. (the foregoing extremely simplified because of PDA..)
Thanks bump
