The Obama/Reid/Pelosi marxist triad has completely ignored such efforts, as well as, the MSM. They ALL know that they have the power and us Constitutionalists have none because we follow our "old" paradigm.
Please, tell me what to do for our Constitutional Restoration. I ask you in the most genuine sincere manner. Give me some viable guidance and I will follow you, our old problems aside.
If you have no ideas other than flag-waving demonstrations, then the NEW PARADIGM for Constitutional Restoration should include civil disobedience (including non-violent, peaceful, LEO supporting SIT-INS), lawsuits, and protests across the street of the marxists' homes.
Yes, I know it sounds too much like the liberal mentality of old, but it worked for them and created the situation we are now facing. Publicity is everything!
500,000 good Americans on April 15th got little publicity. Why? Because they waved flags and chanted their slogans and then went home without making a fuss. Not a one of them were dedicated enough to get arrested for a misdemeanor, even though I offered to pay their bail and/or fine.
Shipmate, I understand you not wanting to go there, and you most certainly cannot promote illegal action on this board. However, until you or others come up with a viable plan of action, the above is that all is left to us Patriots, short of revolution. None of us want that.
I mean no dis-respect to all of you TEA Party folk. Of all people, you know I've been there and done that and appreciate your efforts - they have been for naught. We NOW need much much more to turn our Nation back to its founding principles. Lead me Jim, or follow us...
Hear this: I'm willing to give MY (small) fortune, sacred honor, and my life to ensure that my children can enjoy the liberty I grew up knowing. What are you willing to sacrifice? Who on Free Republic or all these other Web boards are willing to do the same?
I will once again wash dishes or dry cars if it helps to ensure my Country is strong and our liberty prevails.
although I completely understand whay you are saying about getting little media attention because it was not unruly.
I think that it needs to be kept that way. Already DHS is accusing anyone who supports the constitution to be a potential terrorist. If things get out of hand, the MSM will paint all people loyal to the constitution as whackos.
We can not afford to lose the support of the general public in their fear of being against the government or labeled as a potential terrorist.
I think the only way to get America back to where it should be is to
1. support people who think like us. (perhaps libertarians)
2. get them in the republican party because they can never get enough votes to get in on a third party ticket
3. tell your democrat and republican representatives you have had enough already and that you do not support this garbage socialism in any way shape or form. That if they vote for it, you will do everything in your power to make sure that they are not elected in the next election cycle.
If it comes to violence, Obama will declare martial law.
If they get unruly in the protests, we will not be treated as nicely as code pink was when they got nasty with bush. you can bet on it.
they will escalate against us in increments until it is Nazi Germany right here.
If it comes to that, nothing is off the table. But let them make it that way, not us.
